The latest Call of Duty soldier is... Nicki Minaj?
The Queens-born rapper's new Operator bundle in Modern Warfare II and Warzone is now officially available, making her the first "self-named female Operator" in the franchise's history. And naturally, her presence is already making waves.

She also has dozens of voiceovers that Minaj recorded herself, making for some hilarious in-game moments. Naturally, footage of the Nicki character is already taking over social media.
