Young Money’s Nicki Minaj sees Eminem as much more than a dope emcee. The hip-hop superstar went the extra mile in her weekend trolling by giving Slim Shady the hubby title.
Onika went to Instagram Saturday (September 1) to show Marshall Mathers support on his surprise Kamikaze album and playfully reference their bond.

In a new interview, Nicki updated fans on her marital status and hinted at having something brewing with a mystery man.
“I didn’t say I was with Nas. I said I chilled, hung out with him,” Nicki said. “He and I are still good friends. No, no, no – I was in a relationship with Meek for a while and it was a very toxic something but we had some good times and we ended that. With Drake, no, I’ve never been in a relationship with Drake. [New boy?] Hmm. How do you get these – well, there’s a new boy but he and I have kind of fell back a little bit [laughs] and then there’s a newer [someone]. Yeah. Fairly new. He’s been around for a couple weeks now but I don’t have a boy. I’m just chilling. I’ve always been in a relationship my whole life. I was in a relationship since I was 15-years-old. This is the first time I’m single and I’m happier and I’m free. I used to feel like I had to have a man. My whole adult life I used to feel like I had to have a man and I want every woman out here to know you absolutely don’t.” (“The Ellen DeGeneres Show”)
Back in June, Em shocked fans during a live concert by announcing he’s officially dating Nicki.
“Nicki! Let’s do this! I’ma tell you something about Nicki that she don’t even know. We go together. That’s all I wanted to say. Thank-you for letting me get that off my chest.”
A few days prior, Nicki pitched Slim Shady about having the perfect place for their first date.

After initial mounted speculation, Nicki Minaj’s camp shut down Em dating rumors.
Minaj set the internet on fire Friday after responding “yes” to a fan who asked her, “You dating Eminem???” on Instagram. Sources close to Minaj tell TMZ she was only joking … there’s nothing romantic between the two. Minaj is no stranger to dating dudes in the music biz, she’s been with Nas, Meek Mill and was with Safaree for years. She and Eminem both appeared on Nicki’s “Roman’s Revenge” back in 2010. (TMZ)
