Nicki Minaj Gets Own Barbie Doll

After all of the colored wigs, ‘Barbie’ chains, creating a nation of ‘Barbz’ and ‘Ken’s', and the tons of free publicity that Nicki Minaj has provided Mattel with over the past two years, the company has finally developed a partnership with the first lady of Young Money to create her own doll.

Nicki Minaj has added the creator of the Barbie brand to her list of business collaborators that include Mac and O.P.I. Starting next Wednesday, a one-of-a-kind Nicki Minaj Barbie created by Mattel will be auctioned off on CharityBuzz.com starting at a bid of $1,000 until Dec. 19. All proceeds will go to Project Angel Food, which provided meals for men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS.

The Grammy-nominated rap dragon will join Janet Jackson and Rachel Zoe as celebs who have been made into official Barbies auctioned for this charity. Today, a spokesperson for Barbie released a statement on why the collaboration makes sense:

“Barbie is obviously a pop culture icon. She’s been in the spotlight for over 50 years, and strikes that chord with girls of all ages in terms of being representative of the times. And Nicki is a big part of pop culture and also huge within the fashion industry, as well as a big Barbie fan. It’s really exciting for us that she’s been so generous to allow us to create this one-of-a-kind doll to support such an important cause.”
