About a month ago, the Internet was going nuts because it seemed Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill had not only made their relationship official, but were ready to make it permanent and get engaged. Nicki had been dropping hints all over social media before posting a picture of what we all thought was an engagement ring. And she’s never spoken about it again, but she’s also never said she’s NOT engaged… but Meek Mill sure set the record straight.
From The Fader:
Most recently, his relationship with Nicki Minaj has been the subject of rigorous speculation, with various outlets reporting that a ring he bought her in Miami was an engagement ring. It wasn’t. “It’s definitely real,” he says of their relationship, “but it ain’t really time to get married yet. We’re still learning each other, feeling each other out.” Not that it matters: the story has been printed. Meek’s grandmother has been calling him about that one (“Whatever she sees on TV, she believes,” he says), and other celebrities, most notably Drake, have started congratulating them publicly, lending credence to the idea.
Right, so basically it was a bullshit stunt to drum up press? Come on, Nicki – you don’t need to stoop that low. What was the point of that?
