To get everyone hyped for Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty have released a cringe-inducing promo called "Squad Up", featuring celebrities like Nicki Minaj. But will we ever get a Nicki Minaj Warzone skin? We did get Snoop Dogg after all...

Nicki Minaj "Squads Up" For Modern Warfare 2
Nicki Minaj has appeared in a star-studded promo video for Modern Warfare 2 called "Squad Up", which suggests she might return for a Warzone skin or something similar in the future. We've seen this in the past with other celebs, like Snoop Dogg, who appeared at CDL events and in promo trailers before eventually becoming a Warzone skin.

What do you think about Nicki Minaj appearing in Call of Duty? Would you buy a Nicki Minaj skin? They would surely make it look better than the hideous Attack on Titan skin...
