As direly as fans want Queens rap VIPs Nicki Minaj and Nas to stamp confirmation to the dating rumors sparking for about four months, that day has not arrived just yet.

The Barbz Army might have thought they had their seal of approval when talk show host Ellen DeGeneres pinned the question on the Young Money raptress during her Ellen Show appearance. Or, maybe even at the Illmatic emcee’s 44th birthday celebration where Nas and Nicki’s flirty exchanges that made their way to social media turned a few heads.  

Even though their love thing may appear new to some, reports now claim that their speculated relationship has actually been budding since May of this year. And considering the timeline of their most public and most talked-about sightings together, those reports are beginning to make a lot more sense.

You be the judge on whether this chronology of the (possible) Queens love story accurately ignites the flame that fans are deeming "Nicki MiNas."
