Nicki Minaj was in the building for the 85th Annual Oscar Academy Awards. It seems being around famous movie actors motivated her to pursue an acting career.

The YMCMB rapper tells the NY Post that she would love to act.

“It just has to be the right project, the right movie. Nothing stereotypical about a singer,” she said. “I have an agent, and we are looking at a couple of scripts, so we’ll see.”

Minaj also touched on her infamous feud with Mariah Carey, who shares judging duties on this season of American Idol.

“All of that has been talked about,” she said. “We had our differences, but it is all done with now, and we just get in there and do our job.”

She isn’t only focused on her past beef. She spoke on the high points of her time on Idol so far, explaining getting close to contestants has been rewarding. “Seeing their parents makes you realize about how this is their dream and how we have to nurture them as much as we can.”

She's always said that she'll do movies, but when the time is right and when she can focus on it 100%.

It's her first passion to begin with.

Yeah! I always thought she would be a great actress tbh !

Ugh, she needs to stop this acting thing, music first please.

She'll be a star in the **** industry ! that's for sure

I've always been under the impression that she only did music to become a film star.

Anyway good luck to her.

This whole post is just a struggle. Tragic.

Can't wait to see her on the big screen! She'll be great for sure!

Hate when singers do this. Stick to what you're good at Nicki and stop reaching for something that isn't there.

She isn't a singer, she's a rapper, but besides that.

Acting has always been her #1 thing. She went to school for drama. She even said herself all the way back in 08 that acting is and will always be her #1.

Let's not say anything without knowing anything.

She went to school for acting first and for most, and she's been doing acting since she was young. So lets not.

She will do anything that pays. Good for her but she should master one field then move on to other attempts.

I love how try-hard you are. You're so redundant in literally every Nicki thread. It's hilarious.

I'm all for Nicki pursuing her dreams but she needs to put that 201% into amazing music.

After The Pinkprint, she should definitely do a movie or two.

Agreed!

That would make a perfect 2013-2014 year for Nicki!

lol at people who don't know Nicki went to Luguardia High School (AKA The Fame School) to study acting.

She was an actress before she started rapping, I think she'd do good.
