Nicki Minaj is about to expand her on-screen empire into another important part of the entertainment industry: Movies.
The rapper and current American Idol judge is in final talks for a role in The Other Woman starring Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. In the film, Diaz realizes that she’s “The Other Woman” for a man (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who is already married. Mann plays the husband’s wife.
Minaj will play “Diaz’s opinionated assistant at a law firm, a woman on her third marriage,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The rapper had a voice role in Ice Age: Continental Drift, but this is the first time she’ll be appearing on screen.
Kate Upton is also attached to the project and will play another woman having an affair with Coster-Waldau’s character.
It remains to be seen whether or not Minaj plans to continue her foray into acting. She may be looking for additional work soon, because her time on American Idol may be coming to an end after this current season. Recent reports indicated that Idol is looking to shake up the entire panel by the end of this season. They went so far as to attempt to replace Mariah Carey with Jennifer Lopez in the middle of the current season. The move would’ve spiked ratings, at least temporarily, and brought back a judge who was liked better than Carey.
