Nicki Minaj is taking her talents to the small screen. On Thursday, it was announced that Nicki will be serving as a guest judge on the season premiere of RuPaul’s Drug Race Show. She will join the likes of RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews as a judge.

Nicki revealed the news on her Instagram page today, sharing a clip of her promoting the upcoming episode. “Welcome to the Main Stage of RuPaul’s Drag Race! I’m Nicki Minaj, and I pledge allegiance to the drag!” Minaj says in the clip.

The reality competition series has welcomed a string of notable names in years past to kick off the season, including Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga to name a few. Now, Nicki is coming next.

It will be followed by its Emmy-nominated aftershow, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, which gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what happens in the workroom while the judges are deliberating the participating drag queens' performances.
