Nicki Minaj is getting her own show on ABC

Big congratulations to rapper Nicki Minaj who is set to star in and executive produce a new half-hour comedy series not on BET, or MTV or O Network but for ABC Family.

Nicki's own life is providing the inspiration as the show will talk about her own rise to musical stardom including her family's move from Trinidad in the early 1990s when she was very young to her upbringing in Queens, New York.

“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.”

 Nicki is currently launching a nation wide search in the US to find a young Nicki.

Production will begin in Minaj's hometown of Queens, N.Y., later in the year.
