The rumor mill has been buzzing about Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill. So are the rappers dating? Nicki spoke out for the first time about their rumored relationship.

During her appearance on Power 106′s “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” on Monday she shut down reports of a romance. “We’re friends. He’s dope. Shout out to him,” said Nicki.

Meek is featured on two tracks off The Pinkprint. He originally thought he would be back in time to appear on “Favorite,” but when he wasn’t, his camp sent Nicki five songs to choose from and she narrowed it down to “Buy a Heart” and “Big Daddy.”
