They’ve been falsely accused of being linked romantically in the past.
And it seems Nicki Minaj and Nas are still just friends, even after the Anaconda hitmaker was seen getting cozy with the birthday boy on Thursday night.
A source for E! News threw cold water on the idea that the duo had decided to get together amorously.
Pals! It seems Nicki Minaj and Nas are still just friends, even after the Anaconda hitmaker was seen getting cozy with the birthday boy on Thursday night
The trouble started when the pair were spotted getting quite close with one another at the shindig.
In one Instagram snap, Nas has his arm around Nicki as they both smile genuinely.
Of course the Grammy-nominated songstress’s famous assets were on full display thanks to her black bodycon dress.
‘Nicki and Nas are just very dear friends nothing romantic,’ said an individual familiar with the situation, confirming ‘they’ve been friends forever and have seen each other’s careers take off.’
Generous: A source said that Nicki has always simply been a supporter of her record producer friend’s business endeavours
The source added that Nicki has always simply been a supporter of her record producer friend’s business endeavours.
‘Nas and John Seymour have recently just opened their second restaurant Sweet Chick in LA. The original Sweet Chick is in THE LES in NYC. Nicki has been to both spots and always supportive of him and his new ventures.’
It seems as though wishful thinking had gotten the better of fans, as the source finally put all rumors to rest with a very direct dismissal.
‘Nicki is single now and dating but nothing serious. Nas is a best friend to her so as of now nothing is stirring up. People always joke around though that they make a great couple!’

It appears the Pound The Alarm singer is still following her plan to avoid dating anyone, which she laid out for Ellen Degeneres back in May.
‘I’m just chillin’ right now. I’m celibate. I wanted to go a year without dating any man. I hate men,’ said the rapper, though she did plant an intriguing idea, continuing ‘I might make an exception to the rule for [Nas], because he’s so dope.’
Prior to her celibacy she was dating fellow rapper Meek Mill, though that relationship fizzled back in 2016.
Before that, she was with hip hop artist Safaree Samuels from 2000-2014.
Nas meanwhile was married to singer Kelis from 2005 to 2010 and the duo share a son together named Knight.
