Nicki Minaj is set to follow in Kim Kardashian’s footsteps and star in her own mobile video game.

Minaj will team with Glu Mobile, which produced the popular “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” game, the company announced this week. Hollywood raked in more than $74 million in 2014, largely through in-game add-ons.

“We look forward to combining Nicki’s distinctive style and massive global appeal with Glu’s celebrity social gaming expertise,” said Glu CEO Niccolo de Masi in a statement.

As of yet, the only details released about the game indicate that it will feature Minaj’s likeness and voice.

Glu also said the game will feature Minaj’s “creative direction.”

“I am thrilled to welcome the undisputed queen of hip-hop, Nicki Minaj, to Glu’s growing list of celebrity partners,” de Masi added.

Glu also signed a deal with Jason Statham, the action star.

The company and star will launch a game this fall--a first-person shooter featuring Statham’s likeness and voice called Sniper X: Kill Confirmed.

Glu said in its second-quarter earnings report that it’s also looking for more celebrities to team up with.
