Nicki Minaj Is Producing an ABC Family Sitcom Based on Her Life
The comedy will follow Minaj's childhood in Queens
ABC Family has ordered a half-hour comedy based on Nicki Minaj's life, the network announced Tuesday.
The single-camera series will document Minaj's family's immigration from Trinidad to the U.S., her childhood growing up in Queens in the early '90s and her evolution into a pop superstar.
"This is one of the more unique adventures I've ever embarked on," Minaj said in a statement. "I couldn't be more proud and excited to team up with an amazing group of people to give the world something really special."
