Having difficulty keeping track of Nicki Minaj’s relationship status? You’re not alone. Between the breakup rumors or the excitement surrounding an alleged engagement, it’s no surprise that Barbz fans would be on the edge of their seats with anticipation over yet another relationship update.
In case you missed it, the “Anaconda” rapper recently stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” where she made some interesting comments related to her romance with fellow rapper Meek Mill. “I don’t know. We’re still figuring each other out. And, in fact, I don’t even want to say I’m in a relationship anymore. I think when people hear that they go to, like, the mean place … I used to say, ‘I’m not in a relationship’ even though I was in a 12-year relationship. And then now I feel like just going back to that and saying, ‘You know what? I’m single.’ ”
While she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation, fans bombarded Minaj with questions over the easily misconstrued comments. Of course Minaj answered in the best way she knows how, via Instagram:
“#They don’t want me to write this caption. Cc @djkhaled ~ It would be very remiss of you to not watch what I said about Valentines Day prior to writing or believing a headline about my comment. I’m not single. Thank you for coming out. Have a blessed day and get some D,” Nicki teased DJ Khaled, referring to her DeGeneres anecdote about not posting a pic of her V-Day gifts from her boo because they were too busy loving on each other.
As fans know far too well, the dynamic duo’s flirty online presence dates back to 2009, when Minaj was involved with her ex of 12 years, Safaree Samuels-before she pranked us with her marriage to Drake — and before that, the fake proposal by DJ Khaled. In 2010, Mill tweeted his #goals: “2 GET NICKIMINAJ KNOCKED UP!!! LOL.” That same year, Mill also name-checked Nicki in both sweet and raunchy fashion in his song “Miss Me.” That was just the beginning.
Needless to say, the couple who first crossed paths in the studio in 2014, following Minaj’s messy split from Samuels, have been hot and heavy ever since. This isn’t the first time Minaj has dropped juicy tidbits about love and heartbreak. One of today’s hottest female talents, it’s no surprise she’d warrant a long list of suitors and missteps in search of true love. For several more instances Minaj opened up about her dating life, hit the flip.
