A clip has surfaced of Minaj performing during an acting class, throwing a faux-tantrum and then also a phone, which lands inches from her fellow actor's noggin. The footage originally aired on UK TV programme You Saw Them Here First.
Minaj - born Onika Maraj - graduated from the school in 2000 with dreams of becoming an actress.
