Rapper Nicki Minaj has revealed that she is trying out for more acting roles after appearing in 'The Other Woman'.
In the new comedy, Minaj, 31, plays the assistant to Cameron Diaz's lawyer character Carly, who discovers that her boyfriend is not just married but also having other affairs, reported Digital Spy.
"It gave me an idea as to what the world would be like being on a set and being on a trailer for hours. And now that I know it's something I can do, I think I want to expand a role eventually.
"I am going on auditions, and I'm trying to find the right role with the right director and the right writers. I want to be part of something from the beginning stage this time, and I want the role to be custom-made for me," she said.
However, the 'Starships' hitmaker said that she does not want to do a "humungous role right now" as she is getting ready to complete her new album.
"The thing is I have such a versatile personality. Some days I feel like I wanna do a Will Ferrell comedy; some days I feel like I wanna do more like a Set It Off-type of movie with some other young black actresses and like creating a movement with that."And sometimes I think, maybe I could do X-Men or something.
