Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj have some explaining to do. The pair have been teasing a possible relationship for awhile, and rumors of the two being an item re-surfaced in December when Mill was released from prison. Mill is featured on two tracks - "Big Daddy" and "Buy a Heart" - on Minaj's The Pinkprint, and the two have been photographed together before. The new Instagram picture (below), which doesn't confirm or deny a relationship, has Mill giving Minaj a kiss on the cheek, Rap-Up notes.
Minaj broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Safaree Samuels, last year and has denied the Mill dating rumors before.
"I think he's amazing. I love what he represents for dudes that think like him and act like him and live like him," she told Angie Martinez about Mill in December. "I told him before, like, 'You're so important to our culture.' We always need that type of guy, like that DMX. When I was growing up, I needed to see a dude act like that and talk like that."
Minaj got a little emotional during that same interview, talking about the public nature of her break up with Samuels.
"My relationship was based off of love," she said. "And there still is nothing but love there. This is not some person I picked up off the street. This is somebody I grew up with. Like I don't even know how I'm gonna function without that person in my life. I've never lived my life as a famous person without him."
Samuels stopped by The Breakfast Club last month to talk about the terminated relationship. He cited a lack of respect as one of the reasons the two grew apart.
"Everyone around her works for her. So it got to the point where I was like, 'I'm your man. I'm the one you go to sleep with every night. I'm who you wake up with every morning.' It got to the point where I was being treated like an employee instead of her man," he said.
