Nicki Minaj and Drake Dating Rumors: Rappers Involved in Secret Relationship?
The Young Money rap juggernauts, Nicki Minaj and Drake, have once again become the topic of discussion via rumors of the two secretly dating. The spark has recently been ignited by Jimmy Fallon and Gwyneth Paltrow's performance of the pair's songs on TV.
"Nicki Minaj and Drake have been recording quite a bit together lately and Gwyneth Paltrow has taken notice. The actress appeared on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote her new movie Mortdecai with Johnny Depp, but the highlight was her Broadway-style performance of rap songs like Drake's "Started From the Bottom," Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" and most notably Big Sean's "I Don't F- With You," writes Kpopstarz.
Despite the excessive amount of collaborations the two have been working on, Drake has continued to deny any rumors, although never being shy to voice his feelings for the Grammy award winning rap star.
In a recent interview with DJ Envy, Drake sets the record straight:
"Me and Nicki have a really playful relationship. When I was on tour ... I saw Nicki for the first time and, like, literally fell in love. She had this snap-back hat on that said 'Minaj.' She used to wear that every single day. She was like a theater student and she was so cold at rapping."
Dating or not, Drake surely has a certain affinity for Ms. Minaj. Recently being featured in her "Anaconda" video and being a recipient for one of her "exotic dances," fans have to wonder.
Nicki has also reportedly broken up with her long time boyfriend "Safaree" for reasons concerning her career.
"[A] gossip publication claims that she dumped rapper Safaree because he was overly jealous of her success, and that he "wanted to be a superstar" himself. TMZ reported that the breakup was confirmed after Safaree was spotted with his Nicki Minaj tattoos covered over by other tattoos," writes Inquisitr.
