Nicki Minaj is a theatrical creature, so it's no big surprise that she's got her heart set on making the break for Hollywood.
The cartoonish rapper confessed to MTV News this week that she'd love to branch into acting, explaining, "That's what I want to do with my life, I want to retire as an actress. I love acting, I studied acting so of course yeah I'd love to."
Minaj has, of course, decided on an appropriate leading man: Will Smith, who also began his career in rap. "I was actually watching Bad Boys and I was like, 'Hmm, that would be dope to be in.' You know, an action-packed movie that's also funny."
How awesome would it be to see Nicki kicking tush in one of her fluorescent jumpsuits? Hopefully her film career goes over more smoothly than Lil' Kim's.
