RED RUBY IS READY

This groundbreaking event will also feature none other than the iconic Snoop Dogg. The game also features the talented 21 Savage as an Operator, reports Engadget. While we’ve seen some big names like Lionel Messi and Kevin Durant grace the Call of Duty universe before, Nicki Minaj’s arrival is truly a milestone. She becomes the first real-life female celebrity to join the ranks of Operators.

But don’t think for a second that this will be the ‘Chill Nicki‘ you know from the real world. No, in the game, she’ll be embodying her latest alter ego, ‘Red Ruby Da Sleeze,’. Activision has made it clear that this is not the time for play. It’s time to unleash the fierceness and show off her formidable skills as a virtual warrior.

NICKI’S STOREFRONT

Get ready for some serious swag, as Nicki Minaj will also be getting her very own storefront later in Season 5. Can we expect some hot pink rifles to match her signature style? It’s highly likely, and it’s bound to be a hit among fans who want to channel their inner Harajuku Barbie on the virtual battlefield.

We first caught a glimpse of Nicki’s impending arrival in Call of Duty last year when a thrilling YouTube video called ‘Squad Up’ was released. In this video, Nicki shared the spotlight with fellow artists, athletes, and actors, like Lil Baby, Bukayo Saka, and Pete Davidson.
