Recently, Nicki Minaj signed on to appear alongside Cameron Diaz on The Other Woman.
Back in her native New York City, Nicki Minaj began filming today. Yesterday, Nicki Minaj hopped on her Twitter to announce that she has been filming. Teasing the filming, Nicki Minaj announced she has a surprise coming up for the fans viewing the film. Also on set filming was Cameron Diaz.
