Nicki Minaj has revealed she is looking for her first film role.

The 30-year-old star already has a successful singing career and is a judge on American Idol, and she confirmed she has now set her sights on the silver screen.

Nicki told the New York Post's Page Six: "I would love to act, it just has to be the right project, the right movie."

She added: "Nothing stereotypical about a singer."

The Starships singer said she already has an agent and hinted that her bid to become an actress is already well under way.

"We are looking at a couple of scripts, so we'll see," she said.
