Nicki Minaj has revealed that her passion is not rapping or music but acting and has set her sights on starring in a Tim Burton film and will venture into films after her tour finishes.

The Young Money star, who recently admitted that she wants to star alongside Will Smith, has now said that Tim Burton is her dream director because of "his crazy imagination".

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Harajuku Barbie said: "I want to work with... Tim Burton because I love his crazy imagination. He comes up with these characters that are just so fascinating."

The 26-year-old also confessed that rapping was not her first love, and she didn't envision a career in music.

"I went to school to be an actress. I never expected to be a rapper. It just fell in my lap. So I would like to get an acting gig. I hope that when I am done with the tour I can go back and do some acting. That is my long-term goal," she explained.
