Nicki Minaj was recently cast in the upcoming film Ice Age: Continental Drift, the fourth installment in the successful franchise. Speaking with MTV News, the Young Money rapstress explained that her agency sent her on the audition for a role in the animated flick.
“I don’t know how much I can talk about that, but I came about that when my agency sent me out on an audition for some people who wanted to hear me,” she recalled. “They knew I liked animation, they knew I liked to do voices, and so they said they were doing that so I thought, ‘This is amazing.'”
Though she didn’t get the original role for which she auditioned, the casting agents called her back after creating a special role for her in the film. “The original role that I was up for I didn’t get,” she explained. “So I said, ‘Oh, OK, whatever.’ I was really mad, and the next thing you know, they called me and they said, ‘We wrote in a part just for you ’cause we really want you to be a part of this movie.'”
