Well, it looks like we found the answer. Nicki just retweeted a very, very special announcement from ABC Family.

YES, IT'S TRUE. Nicki Minaj will be the executive producer and star in a scripted comedy series for ABC Family. The series will be based on her life growing up in Queens, New York. Can you believe it?

Kate Angelo reportedly wrote the pilot and will be an executive producer with Minaj. They will work alongside Aaron Kaplan, Stella Bulochnikov, Brian Sher and Gee Roberson.

Nicki does have some acting experience under her belt. She appeared on "Saturday Night Live" last year and acted as Kim Kardashian.

You can check out some of her impressions in the clip below to get you extra pumped.

Congratulations, Nicki, and thank you for finally letting us know the surprise. You the bomb, BB. We can't wait to see where this takes you.
