The ‘End of the Road’ star has revealed that she takes a long-term approach to all of her film projects, as she insists on having a 'no death' clause written in her contract because she wants to leave the door open for possible sequels. The 52-year-old rapper - who starred in the 1996 crime heist movie 'Set It Off' - told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I was like, 'I don't get to do any sequels if I keep being this good at [dying].
' So I said, 'Look, you gotta put a no death clause in these contracts so they can't just kill me off like this. I'm never gonna get a sequel in!" Despite this, the rapper-turned-actress is willing to make a compromise for the right price. She quipped: "I mean, of course, for the right price, you know.
She dies! That s***’s in the script, you know?” The 'Ladies First' hitmaker - who has won a host of awards during her career - is currently readying herself to star in the 'Girls' Trip' sequel.

She said: "From everything I know it's locked and loaded and ready to go.
It's just that somebody's gotta make it happen. " 'Girls Trip' follows a group of four friends who go to New Orleans to attend the Essence Music Festival. At the moment, the actress is "not quite sure" where the sequel will be located - though she confirmed "it will be international".
