One can only wonder if Nicki Minaj will get to handle her own costuming on set of "The Other Woman" (Christopher Macsurak).

It’s official, Folks. According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox casted rapper Nicki Minaj to play Cameron Diaz’s sassy assistant in “The Other Woman.”

This will be Minaj’s first time on the big-screen as an actress. She previously did a voiceover for Fox’s 2012 animation “Ice Age: Continental Drift.”

“The Other Woman” is a comedy about a man (played by Nikolaj Coster-Walda) involved with multiple women (Cameron Diaz as the other woman and Leslie Mann as his wife) who are out for revenge on the cheater. Kate Upton was also casted as one of his mistresses.

Minaj will act as Diaz’s assistant at a law firm.

Filming will begin around late spring or early summer in New York.

How will the rapper fare in her live-action debut? Will this film bring more roles in the future, whether as an actress or as a voiceover? The rest remains to be seen.
