Tyler addresses Minaj's 'racist' claim

Steven Tyler is apologising in response to Nicki Minaj's claim that he's a racist. Minaj, a new judge on AmericanIdol, took offence to comments by Tyler, a former Idol judge, in which he said that Bob Dylan would probably be immediately dismissed from this year's show, which premieres on January 16. She called the comment racist and fired an expletive at the Aerosmith frontman. In an interview with the Canadian programme eTalk, Tyler addressed Minaj: "I apologise if it was taken wrong, Nicki. I am the farthest from a racist. Maybe I spoke out of turn." Minaj is performing in Dubai's Meydan Racecourse on December 28. - AP
