Nicki Minaj's new mobile game is a challenge to 'become the next rap superstar'

You can stop peddling your mixtapes on the street now: Nicki Minaj's new mobile game lets you achieve rap stardom. It's all virtual, sure, but that still counts, right? Right?

Nicki Minaj: The Empire -- it comes from Glu Mobile, the creators of the wildly successful Kim Kardashian: Hollywood -- challenges players to become "the next rap superstar." You'll write your own songs, create videos, perform, host lavish parties, and, importantly, "customize your crib."

A new preview for the game urges fans to download the game today, but it isn't available in the app store quite yet.
