Glu Mobile announced that Minaj has lent her likeness, voice and creative directorship exclusively to the company for a mobile game.

Hip-hop heads have had a lot to deal with lately: Dr. Dre shelved Detox, there's the whole Meek Mill and Drake beef that's spilling out all over Twitter and the rest of the Internet and so on.

There's some hope though: Nicki Minaj is getting her own game courtesy of the folks behind Kim Kardashian - Hollywood. Glu Mobile announced that Minaj has lent her likeness, voice and creative directorship exclusively to the company for a mobile game of some kind expected to launch next summer.

Also joining the lady who kissed a girl and liked it is The Transporter himself, Jason Statham, according to Engadget.

Statham will be in Sniper X: Kill Confirmed which launches sometime this fall and promises the same vague features as Glu's other in-development games thus far: name, likeness and a celebrity voice.

But at least we know that it's a first-person shooter. If you'd rather not wait to see if it's for real or going to be any fun, maybe try the excellent Hitman: Sniper from Eidos instead.
