LaVeris/FilmMagic)Jason LaVeris—ilmMagic by [Samantha Grossman](https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Aug 5, 2015 4:30 PM UTC Looks like Nicki Minaj is following in Kim Kardashian’s footsteps, because she’ll soon be the star of her very own mobile gaming app. Minaj has officially signed a deal with Glu Mobile Inc. for a game that will debut in summer 2016, _Marketwatch_ [reports](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nicki-minaj-jason-statham-are-next-stars-to-get-a-glu-mobile-game-2015-08-04). (Minaj will also be taking a cue from [Britney Spears](http://time.com/3841614/britney-spears-kim-kardashian-game-glu-mobile/) and [Katy Perry](http://time.com/3698391/katy-perry-glu-mobile-game-kim-kardashian/), who recently inked gaming deals too.) Sadly, there aren’t too many details yet about what the game’s objectives will be, but _The Verge_ [reports](http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/5/9100157/nicki-minaj-video-game-glu) that it will feature Her Minajesty’s likeness and voice, along with her “creative direction.” Glu also announced a collaboration with Jason Statham, so we imagine that game will involve a lot of [weapons ](http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/5/54/Ex2-LeeNoveske.jpg/400px-Ex2-LeeNoveske.jpg)and probably some cool-looking [beanies](http://images.fandango.com/images/fandangoblog/SAFE%5Flg.jpg).
