For the most part, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have been very candid and open about their relationship. But when your famous, putting your relationship on blast for everyone to see can often times be a tricky situation that ultimately doesn’t end good. However, Nicki Minaj appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday and cleared up many rumors on the status of her relationship, as well as where she and Meek currently stand.
Ellen dived right in and badgered Nicki with questions that we’ve all been dying for her to answer. When Ellen asked Nicki about the flashy engagement ring that she’s been sporting, the “Feelin’ Myself” rapper was quick to chime in stating, “Are you really going to zoom in on my ashy hands? Come on, now. You have to prep women for that. You can’t just zoom in on people’s fingers and hands. First of all, that’s not an engagement ring. Right? I have two rings from this boy that likes me. And he gave me…”.
Before Minaj could finish her sentence, DeGeneres cut off her and showed a photo of Nik’s ring on the screen behind them. Nik then stated, “That’s not my engagement ring, though. He said that that’s my second ring and that if I get a third ring that that would be the engagement ring.” Wow, it must be nice!
Ellen then asked Nik if she’s ready to get engaged. Nik answered, “You know, I don’t know. We’re still figuring each other out. And in fact, I don’t even want to say that I’m in a relationship anymore, because I think when people hear that, they go to like the mean place and try to like—not you, though. You’re super. I love you to death. I used to say, ‘I’m not in a relationship,’ even though I was in a 12-year relationship [with Safaree Samuels]…Now I feel like just going back to that and saying, ‘You know what? I’m single.”
Nicki went deeper into detail on why it’s a good idea for her to not post every single moment of her life on social media. On Valentine’s Day Meek gifted his lady with 3 amazing gifts, however, Nik refused to post photos of the gifts onto Instagram. Nicki stated, “They’re not together.’ We were getting anonymous messages saying, ‘Yeah, she wasn’t with him and she was crying all day.’ Just putting up all these things.
Meanwhile, we were really in bed all day on Valentine’s Day. Like, seriously! We were in bed all day and then I got up and opened these three amazing gifts, and then I went back to bed. Then I read this story that we weren’t together on Valentine’s Day and it just made me realize that no matter how great your life is, you can’t even impress people. You just have to do you and make yourself happy and forget about trying to get everyone’s approval. It’s better just to keep those things sacred. So, now, I don’t really care to say ‘I’m in a relationship’ or ‘I’m engaged’ or whatever. There’s a boy that likes me. That’s all.”
Although Nicki didn’t mention Meek’s name throughout the entire interview, it’s more than obvious that she is talking about Meek Mill. Nicki concluded stated, “He and I are just two souls right now passing through the universe, and I don’t know what’s going to happen. I just have learned over the years to just let things be and come and go as they are going to come and go.”
