Following her highly publicized breakup from Safaree Samuels last year ahead of her latest album The Pinkprint, Nicki Minaj has been rumored to be dating rapper and collaborator Meek Mill. There are photos of the two getting cozy all over Instagram and they were spotted together throughout NBA All-Star Weekend in New York City, sitting courtside, sharing stages and hosting parties. There's even a nickname for the rumored couple: Omeeka. In a new interview with Vogue, she vaguely addresses her relationship with Mill and talks about the "single life."
When asked about her social life now that the album is out and she's single, Minaj said she hasn't "had this much fun in years."
"Yeah, I am partying, and I am freer," she said. "And I am just enjoying myself and my life."
When asked about Mill in particular, she said they are "hanging out."
"Sometimes we hang out, and when we hang out, we have fun. [laughs] This is what I want to say about him," she explained. "People think for some strange reason that we just started becoming friends recently. We've been friends for a very, very long time, and he's been around for a lot of things that I've gone through. And that's all I'll say about that."
Even if they aren't dating, she's been documenting this relationship far more than she ever did with Samuels, and she isn't doing a great job at quelling rumors by any means.
Elsewhere in the interview, she talks about feminism, island music, her future in hip-hop, what she's most proud of on The Pinkprint, comedy, hard work, being vulnerable and more. Read the full interview here.
