Nicki Minaj Makes 'Call Of Duty' History And Looks Damn Good

Barbz, get ready to pull up.

Season 5 of the Call of Duty video game will feature rap queen Nicki Minaj as the first-ever female celebrity Operator playable character, publisher Activision announced on Wednesday.

Several real-life celebrities have appeared in the franchises games over the years, including soccer great Lionel Messi and basketball legend Kevin Durant . But the only women to appear as Operators have been fictional until Nicki the Ninja united with the brand.

Shell appear as an Operator in the games Warzone and Modern Warfare II in honor of CoDs 50 Years of Hip Hop Celebration, along with hitmakers Snoop Dogg, who has partnered with the brand before, and 21 Savage.

CoD has already warned players in a press release that the Barbie World rapper wont be showing up as Chill Nicki, but rather as Red Ruby Da Sleeze , a nod to Minajs ready-for-war hit track from earlier this year where she promises enemies shell boom your face off.

Call of Dutys official Twitter page showed off a teaser image of Minajs appearance in the game, sporting pink hair and toting a large neon pink gun.

The games developer said in the press release that Minaj will have her own storefront full of goodies in Season 5 of Warzone and Modern Warfare 2, which will likely include the aforementioned Barbie-pink assault rifle.

Me & the girls playing as Nicki Minaj in call of duty pic.twitter.com/aBfHycFGr7
(@babyydreamz) July 27, 2023

Minajs appearance was teased last year in a promotional video for the games preorder, which featured a star-studded mix of artists, athletes and actors, including rapper Lil Baby, comedian Pete Davidson and country singer Kane Brown.

In the promo, Minaj is seen standing in front of a helicopter, in a camo-print skirt and surrounded by women, as she raps: Pull up with the Barbz/ Superheroes, no capes.

The trailer sparked debate on Twitter after many fans speculated that Minaj may have only snagged the endorsement deal due to fellow rapper Cardi B dropping the ball on the opportunity, after the former reality star hinted about it in a tweet.
