Nicki Minaj and Eminem the next power couple?
Nicki Minaj has seemingly confirmed she is dating Eminem. The 35-year-old, rapper released her new single ‘Big Bank’, yesterday, which features lyrics alluding to a relationship with the fellow rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers. And after posting a clip of herself mouthing along to that section of the track on Instagram, Nicki has confirmed that she is, in fact ,in a relationship with the ‘Lose Yourself’ hitmaker.
When one fan commented on her Instagram post asking if she was dating 45-year-old Eminem, Nicki simply replied: “Yes.”
As of the time of writing, it is not known whether Nicki was being truthful about her love life or if she was just teasing her fans.
Big Bank – which features fellow rappers YG, 2 Chainz and Big Sean – seems to hint at Nicki having slept with Eminem, who is also known as Slim Shady.
Some of the lyrics read: “Uh oh. Back again. Back to back Maybach, stack the M’s. Told em’ I met Slim Shady, bag the M. Once he go black, he’ll be back again.”
Nicki’s confession comes after she revealed to Ellen Degeneres last year that she was trying to stay away from men.
She said: “I’m just chilling right now. I’m celibate. I wanted to go a year without dating any men. I hate men.”
Eminem, meanwhile, has had no public relationships since his divorce from Kimberly Anne Scott – with whom he has daughter Hailie, 22 – after being married to her twice, once from 1999 to 2001, and again briefly in 2006.
