Before rising to fame on Hip Hop wings, a teenage Nicki Minaj could have been found gracing the hallways of LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where she studied to become an actress.
Today, footage from her time at the school has surfaced online, pulled from a scene in which she plays a mother desperate to be reunited with a child she lost to the family court system.
Why we see Oscars in the entertainer’s future?
Watch below…
AMAZING!!!!!! Why isn’t she a full-time actress?!?!?
#Bravo
Yaaassss biitch goto actn bcause yo guckn cd FLOP!! Listen, I dont mean to interupt this post but Honey all that matters in life right is the ‘kii’ of nicki not selln 200k after all and only 4500 ACROSS THE GLOBE! * steps down from soap box and twists of post…PROUD!’*
Yaaaassssssssss Flopnika! We see your acting skills, gurrl. Then after acting at school, she’d go home and practice her Lil’ Kim impersonations.
Yaaaasssssss
Lol she is… Full time acting as a female rapper! Lol
Nicki is only a year younger than Bey and Britney. Wow
I love your username! G4L is my favorite song on Rated R. One of the best songs of her career thus far too.
cool.
she still looks the same
Lyn sslut
Chile, she did that! She served me the entire bucket of fried chicken, a 2 liter coke, 4 biscuits, a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, and Mac and cheese. I almost died when I heard slayconda playing in the background. Now, if only she could throw that same phone at Iggy’s head harder than she threw it at that women. Lol! Happy New Year, Onika Maraj!
If you ever had any question that she had plastic surgery, question NO MORE. Lol she had the Mariah Carey booty and the Wicked Witch of the West nose, though! She did good though!
Lol with yo descriptions of the plastic surgery tho! Dead!
I could see her in a sitcom or drama.
One of the reasons I admire her iis b/c she is self made.
Nicki grew up in a very abusive home with a drug addicted abusive father but she made it out and is now successful.
She has grit.
MAD RESPECT
😐 Her cd flopped
You speaking like you were there with her don’t be lives everything people put out there mostly this fame wh0res
Multifaceted and uber talented!!!!
With a flop cd
Tramp, just because you say if a million times doesn’t make it true. now go fetch!
LOLOLOL
This was cute. No matter who you like or don’t like, you can’t hate on anyone following his/her dreams and actually fulfilling them.
Well said Mr. lamb
Goto biitch
Am not a hater, that I just watch shows that if she flops one more time she has an option 2, at least she can act more than beyonc.
O_o
Beyonce can’t act. She could never. She never even attended or finished High School. She can’t write. Did you hear struggle/11 – A lyrical mess.
Say what you want but every silver screen film that Beyonce’s been in is a box office hit.
Rihanna’s the one who was awarded a Razzie for her 1 incomprehensible line in Battleshit. Remember that!
@Tyler
Battlefield was a big budget, $220 million dollar to be exact, Hollywood action film which initially flopped, but it made back its budget.
On what scale has Beyonce ever reached that far in Hollywood? She always doing small roles. I’m only stating what I know, but you can go ahead and google for some leverage. LMAO!!! The self drag is ‘Flawless.’ Try again sis. You never have the upperhand when you come at me lol. You just fail ever single time, but hey… you know what they say – if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. *Blows Kiss*
Well, none of the big screen films that Beyonce has starred in have flopped as hard as Battleshit…So you can save your circa 2005 B***** “reads” for someone who actually CARES.
Her roles in “Cadillac Records”, “Dream Girls” Austin Powers”, “Obsessed” and etc have all been more significant than that of your faves. So Idk what “small roles” you are talking about when Rihanna’s was a cameo appearance in comparison.
Who wins a Razzie Award for a cameo appearance???? Rihanna does lolol. I CANT!!!!
Since we’re talking about theatre I believe Rihanna’s accent and personality would allow her to go further in film than bey. Rih is/could be more versifile, which she is proving.
Btw why is everyone surprised. Nicki is a smart girl. Her intelligence shows when she’s not acting crazy at the BET awards or releasing video’s to anaconda. She “Acts” all of the time. I also remember her saying something about initially wanting to become an actress.
Truth
Nicki had skills from the start,she can rap sings and acts.
she is also business savvy, i wish her all the best she doing her thing,
I dont mean to interupt this post but Honey all that matters in life right is the ‘kii’ of nicki not selln 200k after all and only 4500 ACROSS THE GLOBE! * steps down from soap box and twists of post…PROUD!’*
That was awesome! She could have had a lucrative career in acting before she cartoonized her body. Not aesthetically appealing outside of hip hop videos. They could try editing but that would be pretty expensive.
I agree. Shame
That was actually good! I’m shocked! I thought this clip was going to be embarrassing for Nicki, but I was pleasantly surprised. The girl was pretty intense!

Sorry. Opera Mini sucks.
Ok so what mind set are you in…or are you just playing RIHtarded????
You act like Rihanna contributed any of the success that Battleshit had.
You wanna talk about small roles. The b**** had two lines! And she won a Razzie for it. RIHANNA WON A RAZZIE FOR WORST ACTRESS OF THE YEAR.
So you should be the last one trying to critique Beyonce’s acting skills #ImJustSaying
Films must make back at least 2x of their budget to be considered profitable. This is because theaters take half of the gross. This is common knowledge.
Battleship had to gross $419 million to be considered a success. It only grossed $303M worldwide.
Yes, you’re right, but the most important thing is that a film should make back its budget and some more, which it did. But the there’s the marketing budget. You know what, it might have just flopped lol, but it’s way bigger than anything Beyonce has ever done, since the ignorant flea decided to bring it up. They can never win with me.
*against me.
Her acting isn’t bad at all. If she didn’t have such cartoonish surgery on her ass she could have seen a bit of success in that field.
I think she can slay no matter what her ass looks like…
Biitch u woouuld think that…ho
When I first saw this It was a vine I thought it was an actual fight back in high school XD she did great I need her to audition for more movie roles
No BIITCH u NEEED to go buy her FLOP cd..
Who r u?
Yo mammy
@I Stan for the Talentless

Lol.. Not recycled b***** reads. Lmao… Lol
Girl go take your medicine beyonce is a huge flop when it comes to acting. Because when it comes to acting people go for raw talent but in music people just don’t have that great taste.
How many films has your fave starred in???
Yeah, that’s what I thought. You stan for RihRazzie. Therefore, you have bad taste in music and in acting. Now sit tf down.
Nicki with her natural ass and boobs
Or her 14 year old ass and boobs…
Biitch stop actn like she havent got a million surgeries
My Anaconda DON’T.
LOL she should be promoting TPP.
Wow. She is too damn cute. She hasn’t changed a bit! Same voice too. Might I as well add good acting skills!
She changed biitch…she’s changed
Nicki should start getting into acting after she tours for this album. She has the skill and work ethic. Play it smart. Rap, act, tour, rap, act, tour. Maybe she can be the first female rapper with a grammy and oscar. If she ever wins a grammy.
She want so bad to be like Eve in Barbershop film. Anaconda was okay not as good as fancy and let me blow yo mind. I guess Lil Kim single Magic Stick sound way better than this Nicki minaj
Honestly Nicki always stated she was an actress first and rapper second. I always joked and said her rap career is simply a role she is playing–LOL! But either way she does seen like she could pull off a dramatic role, decently. But comedy surely not because SNL was terrible. Them Bey/KimK impersonations tho. No bueno!
I got sum gooood pusssy
I’m not a fan of her rap career, but I would definitely watch her as a serious actress.
LOL @ people thinking this was really good acting. Uh, ok. Maybe for a s***** Tyler Perry movie.
Tyler’s movies are usually box office hits. I hate how people act lile dramas are not needed in movies these days. Dramas made the box office go once upon a time. This scene reminds me more of a losing isaiah type scene. Nicki wouldve kills a role in set it of but I think with a few more acting classes to touch up her craft she can do a crazy role with her roman character. I want to see her in something like a horror film or action/crime/mystery/suspense. Or even a super hero type role. Lead role not just in it. I think she can pull it off.
