Nicki Minaj Will Produce & Appear In An ABC Comedy Based On Her Life

As Nicki Minaj told us way back on "Up In
Flames," "Bitches ain't got punchlines or
flow / I have both and an empire also." From
Beats Pills, to perfume, to Myx Moscato, Nicki
has been expanding her brand over the last
few years, and her presence on the Forbes list
has reflected as much.

Nicki's latest venture was announced earlier
today, following a few days of Twitter hype
over a "big surprise" from the Young Money
rapper. According to Deadline , Minaj will both
executive-produce and appear in a new ABC
Family comedy, which will be based on her
years growing up in Queens.
“This is one of the more unique adventures
I’ve ever embarked on,” said Nicki. “I couldn’t
be more proud and excited to team up with an
amazing group of people to give the world
something really special.”
The show is said to focus on the rapper's
:vibrant immigrant family and the personal
and musical evolution that lead to her
eventual rise to stardom". It will be written by
Kate ANgelo, who previously worked on the
screenplays for feature films, "Sex Tape," and
"The Back-Up Plan".
The pilot is set to begin filming in the winter.
So far, no cast members have been
announced.
