Rickey Minor upset at American Idol 'snub'

There was no public tribute for outgoing American Idol bandleader Rickey Minor last night. So he was pissed.

Rickey Minor is leaving the show to join Jay Leno on the Tonight Show.

Hmmm...

From TMZ:

Minor was fit to be tied after no one thanked him or wished him well -- hell, they didn't even acknowledge him during last night's finale.

Our A.I. spies tell us ... when the show was over Minor went off on producers, angrily telling them how insulted he was by their silent dis.

Minor refused to go backstage for the champagne afterparty. But producers pleaded with him and then got Randy Jackson to try and smooth it over with an unprepared speech.
