On Monday night, Nicki Minaj teased her fans on Instagram, telling them there was a surprise coming. “#NickiSurprise” started trending on Twitter, leaving Minaj’s fans clamoring for answers.
Today, it was announced that Minaj will star in and executive produce a comedy series on ABC Family based on her life.
The show will focus on Minaj’s move to the U.S. from Trinidad and Tobago when she was a young girl, and subsequently growing up in Queens, N.Y. On Twitter and Instagram, Minaj said the show is launching a search to cast a “#YoungNicki” to play her when she was a child.
ABC Family linked to an article on Deadline, which says the untitled series will film a pilot this winter.

Minaj is known for her bold, sexy style — footwear included. She’s a fan of shoe designers such as Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, Givenchy and Tom Ford.

While we don’t know what Minaj’s style was like in her earlier days, we imagine she’s always been a daring dresser.
