Will You watch the TV sitcom?
A few months ago, reports surfaced that Nicki Minaj would be taking her talents to ABC Family for a new show, which she would star in and produce.
Today, she has announced the name of the series, now titled Nicki, and the cast. From what she revealed, Ariana Neal (from Fruitvale Station) will play the role of a young Minaj, while Whoopi Goldberg will be a guest star as the neighbor. Selita Ebanks, Wesley Jonathan and McCarrie McCauseland are scheduled to round out the rest of her family on the show.
Queen Barb had this to say about young Ariana on Instagram:
I literally cried watching her taped audition. I demanded to meet her! Sat in a room with her teaching her how to rap by doing a beat on the table & forcing her to stay on beat! Lol. Then pulled out all the attitude she had in her lil body. Haha! She’s tough! And so sweet & cute.
There is no definitive date as to when the show will air, but Nicki will star on the show.
