Nicki Minaj: Acting is fun

(Cover) - EN Movies - Nicki Minaj says it "felt fun" working on her movie debut Ice Age: Continental Drift.

The 29-year-old rapper is known for her outlandish persona and her love of speaking in different voices proved useful for the role.

Nicki told Us Weekly that she enjoys acting and was very comfortable with voicing a role in the fourth instalment of the Ice Age franchise.

"It felt fun, like I was in theatre school again," she told the publication. "And I always wanted to be a cartoon; I obviously love changing my voice all the time. It came naturally."

The Trinidad-born beauty added that she not only likes doing different voices in her music but when she's off stage too.

"I even do it in my everyday life!" she shared. "I can't remember a time in my life where I wasn't switching up my voice or accent all the time. It's just a part of me."

And Nicki, who is known for her ever changing hairstyles, added that she may need to do some work on her mammoth character Steffie's mane.

"Her hair is cute, but if we gave her some highlight and bangs in the next movie, she'd be way cuter," she laughed.
