icki Minaj is battling everybody over her new "American Idol" stint it seems. And the newest person she's going at is ex judge Steven Tyler...and she's calling him RACIST. We're not the only ones who think Nicki has no room to judge other people's talents. But Steven Tyler said it on a public platform, and Nicki shot back via Twitter. Of course.
