Nicki Minaj teams up with Pepsi for "Live For Now" commercial

Female rap sensation Nicki Minaj has teamed up with soft drinks giant Pepsi for a special commercial that will run from May 7 onwards.

The global company have launched a new 'multi-year' marketing campaign, which is supported by the tag line "Live For Now", and the 'Super Bass' hitmaker will be the first to represent it.

Her song 'Moment 4 Life' is set to be the advertisement's soundtrack and Frank Cooper, PepsiCo chief marketing officer of global consumer engagement, told Billboard.com that she was the perfect choice for the first commercial of many:

"Nicki has momentum. She's a maverick. She represents the kind of artist who's in the moment, making things happen on her own terms."

In mid-May, Pepsi is also set to unveil a campaign that will honour the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's 'Bad'.
