Minaj on hearing the comments deemed them as racist but the Aerosmith man insists that he isn't one and that Nicki Minaj took it the wrong way.
"I apologize if it was taken wrong, Nicki," Tyler told Canadian entertainment show eTalk on Tuesday. "But I am the farthest thing from [being a racist] ... 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 have judged Bob Dylan. Maybe I spoke out of turn. But a racist I'm not, Nicki," said Tyler.
After the "Cornfield," comments were made by Tyler the female artist took to Twitter to voice her opinion on the matter and told her fans to make him a shirt that says "No Coloreds Allowed."
