Mars offered chance to play Prince in Netflix biopic
Nicki and Cardi’s in NY There is definitely no love lost between rappers and who came close to full-scale fisticuffs in New York on Friday night. Cardi, 25, suffered a facial injury after lunging at Minaj, 35, at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party. I’m told
A film insider tells me the singer has been approached about portraying the legend in a Netflix project.
Bruno, 32, is a huge Prince fan and gave an impressive tribute to the star when he performed Purple Rain at the 2017 Grammys.
My film source reveals: “Bruno says it will probably be the most nerve-wracking move of his career if it happens.
“Prince was one of his idols so to be asked to take on a hefty role like that, especially as a debut acting Cardi B, move, is full-on. The offer has kind of come out of the blue. “He used to love acting when he was younger but it’s not an avenue he’s even been exploring recently. “If he does it there will be pressure.” Bruno considers Prince, who died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in April 2016, one of his music icons. He has said: “Prince, you’re one of my heroes and no one can tell me otherwise, not even you. “I’m so fortunate to have witnessed your greatness. Your music will live on forever and ever and will always have a special place in my heart. Thank You.” Speaking about meeting the star, Bruno gushed: “Prince comes walking through the crowd, it was like the Red Sea parting – all of these big celebrities tightening up because… it’s him!
“Then he turns and looks at me and gives me the thumbs up, and I just started screaming like an idiot.”
I think Bruno would be the perfect choice to play such a genius. Bring. It. On. Nicki Minaj
