Nicki Minaj to star in 'Barbershop 3'

Rap superstar Nicki Minaj has been confirmed to star in the upcoming movie 'Barbershop 3' alongside fellow musicians Ice Cube, Eve and Common. 

Pictures of the 'Starships' sensation have surfaced showing her at a table read for the film project (shown below) and according to Variety she will appear as a "sassy" hairdresser named Draya in the next instalment of the popular franchise. 

Last month, Minaj opened up about her journey to superstardom in an interview with Glamour magazine and explained that she hopes people look up to her as a 'mogul' and finds her story to be inspirational: “Jay Z has always been a role model because he inspires people [to believe] they can go from selling drugs to being one of the most celebrated businessmen of our time."

"That's what I want to do for young girls, to say, 'It doesn't matter where you started in your life. You too can become a mogul and anything you want to be.'”
