Jones&lt;/strong&gt;-style quasi-apology for the controversial comments he made about the new \"American Idol\" judge.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minaj had publicly unloaded on Tyler ... after the Aerosmith singer insinuated Nicki doesn't appreciate rock music and \"would have sent [Bob Dylan] to the cornfield\" if he had appeared on the show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicki fired back on Twitter, \"That&amp;#8217;s a racist comment. You assume that I wouldn&amp;#8217;t have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f*** yourself and worry about yourself babe.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yesterday, Tyler finally explained himself on the Canadian talk show, \"eTalk,\" saying, \"I apologize if it was taken wrong, Nicki ... but I am the farthest from [being a racist].\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added, \"I am the last thing on this planet as far as being a racist. I don't know where she got that out of me saying I'm not sure how she would've judged Bob Dylan.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No word if Nicki has accepted the \"apology.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{{tmz_video_0}}"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
