If there’s one thing that most people can agree on when it comes to Nicki Minaj, it’s that she’s a smart business women. Over the course of her almost 7 years in the music industry, Nicki has risen into another realm of success that exceeds the female rappers that have come before her. Diving into the world of clothing, perfume, film, and so much more, it’s evident that Ms. Maraj wants to build an empire. Adding to her already more than impressive resume is the news that Nicki Minaj will executive produce and also star in a comedy for ABC family that is based on her family immigrating to the United States from the island of Trinidad.
Born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago, Minaj moved to the U.S. as a child. Written by Kate Angelo (Sex Tape), the untitled series will focus on Minaj’s growing up in Queens in the 1990s with her vibrant immigrant family and the personal and musical evolution that lead to her eventual rise to stardom.
This is surely a major accomplishment not only for Nicki, but Hip-Hop as a whole, as Nicki’s story and early life struggles are similar to so many of her peers. Along with this good news, we can expect to see Nicki not only on our television screens, but also on the big screen as she’ll be in Barbershop 3, releasing next year. If that wasn’t enough, we’ll take a wild guess and say some new tunes will be birthed among all of this. All in all, congratulations are definitely in order for Nicki Minaj.
