Before kicking off her music career,  the 32-year-old rapper studied acting at Manhattan's LaGuardia High School after she immigrated with her family from Trinidad in the early 1990s.

"This is one of the more unique adventures I've ever embarked on," Minaj said. "I couldn't be more proud and excited to team up with an amazing group of people to give the world something really special."
