“Simon thinks Nicki is fantastic. She’s sassy, she looks great and she has bags of personality.”

Now however reps for Minaj have shot down the rumor and tell TMZ,

There’s nothing going on with [‘X Factor’].”

Nicki is currently on the I Am Still Music Tour with Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Travis Barker.
