Nicki Minaj Dishes On Her Animated Role In “Ice Age: Continental Drift”

Nicki Minaj can now officially add actress to her resume!

The animated rapper has joined the latest Ice Age animated franchise.  Nicki will play up one of her many outrageous personas in Ice Age: Continental Drift, along side Wanda Sykes, Jeremy Renner, Aziz Ansari, Heather Morris, Drake and Jennifer Lopez!

Nicki told MTV News, “I don’t know how much I can talk about that, but I came about that when my agency sent me out on an audition for some people who wanted to hear me,” she recalled. “They knew I liked animation, they knew I liked to do voices, and so they said they were doing that so I thought, ‘This is amazing.’ “

However, getting a part in the film wasn’t all that easy for the rap Superstar. “The original role that I was up for I didn’t get,” she explained. “So I said, ‘Oh, OK, whatever.’ I was really mad, and the next thing you know, they called me and they said, ‘We wrote in a part just for you ’cause we really want you to be a part of this movie.’ “

Nicki is not at privilege to discuss the role she plays in the animation, but she did say she put a lot of effort into the character. “And I just was screaming and so excited, and I went in and I had a blast. I did it as two different voices,” she said. “We’ll see what happens.”
