Rumors have been swirling around Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill for some time now, and it seems as though the "Anaconda" rapper may have put the speculations to rest once and for all. Nicki posted a photo of her and the "Chiraq" rapper looking cozied up on Instagram.

No caption was needed for the intimate pic, which showed Meek planting a kiss on the Trinidad-born rapper's right cheek.

During an interview with Shade 45, however, the Head Barb in Charge denied the rumors. "[Meek's] girl fan base ain't got nothing to worry 'bout!" she said. "Keep liking him, keep supporting him. His girl fan base don't gotta worry 'bout no Nicki Minaj, OK?"

More recently, she also told Ryan Seacrest that she is single and the entire Meek Mill dating situation is a huge misunderstanding. "People are just assuming these things and I don't know why. This is my friend. I'm just hanging out. We don't look at each other like that at all!"

The unofficial couple worked together on "Buy a Heart" and "Big Daddy" on Nicki's latest project, The PinkPrint.

In late 2014, Nicki Minaj split from her boyfriend of 12 years, Safaree Samuels, who wished her well in her future relationships. "She can take a picture with whomever she wants," he said on Power 105's The Breakfast Club. "She can get married tomorrow and be pregnant the next day and I would wish her nothing but the best."
