Nicki Minaj To Make Acting Debut, Will Star Alongside Cameron Diaz In ‘The Other Woman’

Nicki Minaj looks set to make her movie debut, after she joined the cast of Fox’s comedy, The Other Woman.

She will star alongside Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, and Leslie Mann, in the movie which will be directed by Nick Cassavetes, the man behind Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdam’s, The Notebook.

Minaj previously starred in Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, where she provided her vocal talent to proceedings as Steffie the mammoth.

It is believed that Minaj will play Diaz’s assistant at a law firm, who by all accounts is a very opinionated gal.

The Other Woman is written by Melissa Stack, a screenwriting novice, and revolves around Diaz’s lawyer who soon discovers that she is “the other woman” in an affair, and looks to team up with her lover’s wife, played by Leslie Mann, to exact revenge.

The Other Woman will beging shooting over the next few weeks.

Minaj is currently very hard at work on American Idol, where she is acting as a judge. She has been a divisive figure on the programme but one man who has been impressed by her is the guy she replaced, Steven Tyler.

The Aerosmith singer stated, “I like Mariah … and I’m a big fan of Keith (Urban), but if you really think about it, you want some drama. Put me in a room with Nicki. Put me in a room with Nicki! I wish it was Randy, me and Nicki Minaj. It would’ve been a hoot!”

This comes just weeks after Minaj accused Tyler of being a racist, after he looked to intervene between Minaj’s feud with Mariah Carey.

Tyler dismissed this accusation though stating, “I apologize if it was taken wrong, Nicki … But 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 sure how she would’ve judged Bob Dylan.”

Do you think Minaj will make a good actress?
