Nicki’s gone pop for real—as in beverages. Forbes reports that the first female to grace it’s hip hop cash kings list last year will no doubt rank even higher in 2012 now that she’s signed a multi-million dollar deal with Pepsi.

Nicki Minaj will be the face of the cola giant’s new campaign and a commercial filmed with the rap star in South America is expected to debut within a couple of months. According to Derek Jackson, the Glu agency chief who brokered the deal,

“That’ll be a segue into a new beverage Pepsi has, called ‘Pop,’ and she’ll be the face of the brand … it’s going to be explosive.”

Everything Nicki does is over the top so that’s not hard to believe.

The barbie doll’s deal is one of two major partnerships between Pepsi and Young Money Cash Money. Lil Wayne just debuted his DEWeezy campaign under Pepsi’s Mountain Dew brand at South by Southwest, and although details of his contract haven’t been revealed, Nicki Minaj is said to be bringing in seven figures for her “Pop” deal.
