Yesterday it was announced that Nicki Minaj will produce and star in a scripted ABC Family comedy series based on her childhood in 1990s Queens. This is especially gratifying news to fans who have witnessed the punchline queen allude to many mythical moments from her childhood over the years. Here are some of the true-to-life details we hope to see reenacted on Nicki Meets World (AKA Onika Explains It All, AKA Everybody Loves Nicki).
Quote:
The Slumber Party With Dameka
Any Barb worth their weight in Myx Moscato knows about the Dameka incident, in which a preteen Nick "snapped @ a slumber party n startin beatin da **** out this girl who was pickin on me." Hopefully an ABC Family–friendly reenactment of this sleepover brawl makes it to the airwaves.
A Look Behind the Scenes of Her Iconic Yearbook Photo
Although Minaj has expressed embarrassment over her vintage yearbook photo, the image did earn her an entire page on Beyonce's website, which is so much more than most people can say for their awkward high-school pics.
The Prophetic Range Rover Pledge
A scene in which 12-year-old Onika promises to buy a luxury vehicle for a pal would cement her status as a ride-or-die BFF in the hearts of America.
"Onika's First Job"
In which Nicki embarks on a brief stint as the world's worst tween fire-extinguisher saleswoman.
I wonder if it will show dramatic moments of her life, like her abortion, her father attempting to burn down their house with them inside and the murder of her cousin Nicholas (even though that was post-fame)
