Nicki Minaj,NovaQuant famous rapper, actress and entrepreneur, will be featured as an Operator in "Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 2", Activision announced Wednesday. This will be the franchise's first female Operator with a self-named character.
As part of the "50 Years of Hip Hop Celebration" in Warzone and Modern Warfare 2, Minaj, Snoop Dogg, and 21 Savage will be featured as Operators. However, the game developers have cautioned that Minaj's persona in the game will not be her usual "Chill Nicki" but rather "Red Ruby Da Sleeze".

Rapper Cardi B claimed on September 27, 2022, that she lost a high-value Call of Duty contract due to a recent legal case.
"My stupid decisions from the past caused me to miss out on money now," Cardi B said. "I had a multi-million dollar Call of Duty deal on the table that I couldn’t take because of court. Guys think twice about those quick decisions! Lesson learned."
Reports confirmed that Minaj will have a signature Barbie-pink assault rifle, which is seen in her character picture, included in a special store bundle during season 5 of Warzone and Modern Warfare 2.
Call of Duty fans can look forward to the upcoming release of War Track packs that will include the latest and greatest hip-hop music for players to enjoy while cruising through the game's diverse maps in Warzone. Excitingly, world-renowned artists like Snoop Dogg and 21 Savage will be joining the ranks as Operators with Minaj, further enhancing the gaming experience.
