A unique bundle is now available for purchase in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare II in the form of Starships and Anaconda rapper Nicki Minaj. As a part of the 50 years of hip-hop celebration, Minaj is currently a playable character in the popular shooter \u2013 alongside Snoop Dog and 21 Savage up next \u2013 and her lines are just as brutal as you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty is known for its offbeat and kooky bundles, with the likes of Die Hard and Rambo crossovers in the last few years. We\u2019ve also seen Ghostface from Scream and Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a special forces operator skin. And it\u2019s not always fictional action heroes \u2013 Lionel Messi also previously joined to celebrate last year\u2019s world cup.<\/p>

Hip-hop isn\u2019t exactly new to the Call of Duty franchise either, with Snoop himself making an appearance in Call Of Duty: Vanguard last year. Given that he set up the Gangsta Gaming League, this seemed only natural.<\/p>\n

So it was only a matter of time before other rappers joined him, and what better time that the 50th anniversary of the genre itself?<\/p>\n

Activision announced the Minaj bundle in a tweet which features a short clip of the rapper kicking ass \u2013 check it out:<\/p>\n
