Now, the second of three hip hop legends who are part ofCall of Duty’s 50-year celebration of the music genre, Nicki Minaj, is set to make her debut in the game. On Twitter, ModernWarzone revealed that the Queen of Rap ispreparing to drop inCall of Dutyon August 24 forModern Warfare 2andWarzone. In the in-game photo, which was first revealed during the Season 5 info dump earlier this month, Minaj is decked out in all pink with a pink assault rifle to match.
The hip hop star is fresh off of her collaboration with thehit blockbusterBarbiemovie, in which she contributed to the film’s loaded soundtrack. The pink weapon she wields seems to feature a word beginning with a stylized letter “B” which looks somewhat like aBarbielogo, though it’s unclear. WhileBarbieis a big part of Minaj’s brand and persona, it’s unlikelyCall of Dutywould collaborate with two different entities as part of one operator.
While the contents of Minaj’s bundle are still unknown, it would be safe to assume that it would followSnoop Dogg’s Return of the Shizzle bundlein including the main skin, an alternate skin, three weapon blueprints, a finishing move, and some other smaller items. Rounding outCall of Duty’s 50 years of hip-hop celebration is popular rapper 21 Savage, whose bundle is expected to release by the likely mid-season Reload, which is due out sometime in the next few weeks.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
