Randy Jackson is officially leaving the judge table but he will still remain a part of the show as a "mentor".As for his replacement Nicki Minaj deal is 99% done but it is not a sure thing oh the producers are fully aware that Mariah Carey is not a fan of Minaj and doesn't want her at the table and this the producers actually love because they believe the conflit and tension will be great for the show.
Although "American Idol" wanted Diddy or Kanye West but they are both out of the picture!!!.
