"Fast & Furious" star Vin Diesel recently revealed that rapper Iggy Azalea will play a cameo role in the upcoming seventh installment of the hit action film, Billboard reported. The 47-year-old actor accidentally blurted out the information in an interview with Skyrock FM, as he promoted his most recent movie "Guardians of the Galaxy."

When the interviewer asked him which songs he would like to groove to between Azalea's "Fancy," Jason Derulo's "Wiggle," or Ariana Grande's "Problem," Diesel responded, "Well, Iggy Azalea, I just worked with her two weeks ago."

He continued saying that it was the first time he revealed the information to the press.

"I guess you'll be the first person that knows this - we casted her in 'Fast & Furious 7'," said Diesel. She has a cameo in 'Fast & Furious 7'."

However, represenatives of the 24-year-old Australian rapper have yet to respond regarding this news.

Meanwhile, Airherald reports that Paul Walker fans will still be able to see his iconic character Brian O'Conner in "Fast & Furious 7" despite the actor's demise last year. Walker had started filming the seventh franchise of the film, but was not able to finish all the scenes due to the car accident that took his life.

However, the production team of the movie was able to keep Brian's character all throughout the film through Paul Walker's brothers Cody and Caleb Walker. The Walker siblings served as stand-in for the character in a number of remaining scenes. Technology and CGI also greatly contributed to the success of retaining this major character, albeit Walker's passing.

"It won't ever quite be whole again without Paul," the website quoted a statement from Universal Pictures. "All of us - those who've been here from the start and those whose first "FAST" film is 7 - wanted to create a special film for him and you."

"Fast & Furious 7" is slated to hit the big screen on April 3, 2015.
