The 29-year-old 'Starships' hitmaker, who was recently unveiled as a judge on 'American Idol', is said to have begun filming a fly-on-the-wall documentary series for the E! network earlier this week, reported Daily Mirror online.
"Nicki's life on camera will blow away all other previous reality stars," a source said.
Minaj recently said that she agreed to judge 'American Idol' because it is such a credible show.
"This is such a credible brand. It's really serious, it's real deal it's not anything else other than really looking for talent. If I can be a part of that I'm really down for it," she said.
