Watch High School Footage of Nicki Minaj Showcasing Her Acting Skills

Does Nicki Minaj have the skill set to take on Hollywood? You be the judge. It’s been known that the platinum-selling artist had once aspired to be an actress as she studied theater at NYC’s prestigious school for music and performing arts, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High. However up until this past weekend, not many have seen footage from her early acting days before her music career skyrocketed. In the latest episode of the British TV series You Saw Them Here First, the producers got a hold of this gem which has Nicki rehearsing this intense scene before taking the stage to perform before an audience of talent scouts. Watch as she almost hits her co-star with the telephone prop by accident in the short clip above.
