Nicki Minaj is going to back to her first love: acting! She has recently joined the case of Ice Age: Continental Drift. This will be the fourth movie in the Ice Age series. We know that Nicki went to New York’s popular LaGuardia High School of Music & Art & Performing Art. Now she has the perfect opportunity to showcase her talent that we saw a hint of in her E! Special. Nicki’s joining a cast of other celebs as well including Jennifer Lopez, Drake, Queen Latifah, and many more. We’re not sure yet what character she’s going to play yet but whatever it is I’m sure she’ll rock it being that it was her major in high school.
