According to ‘The Hollywood Reporter‘, Minaj will join Kate Upton, Diaz and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in filming ‘The Other Woman’ this summer, set to hit theaters via Jim Gianopulos‘ ‘FOX‘.

With ‘Bride Wars‘ Julie Yorn on production and Nick Cassavetes serving as director, the movie tells  the story of a woman (Diaz)  who learns that she is the ‘other woman’ in an affair and joins forces with ‘the unsuspecting wife’ to exact revenge on Waldau’s character.

Set to beging shooting in NYC this Summer, fans of the Rapper may also be pleased to learn the movie also stars ‘Knocked Up‘s Leslie Mann and will no doubt come as part of the promotional package for her hotly anticipated third studio album.
