Rapper Nicki Minaj has revealed that she doesn’t really want to be labelled as being in a relationship, as that takes people’s minds to negative places against her.
Nicki was speaking with Ellen DeGeneres in an interview for her show, when she made the comments, as part of a longer speech on her current relationship.
“I don’t even want to say I’m in a relationship anymore, because I think when people hear that, they go to like the mean place and try to like—not you, though. You’re super. I love you to death.” She told DeGeneres.
“You know, I used to be secretive. You guys asked me about that before on my pre-interview. I used to say, ‘I’m not in a relationship,’ even though I was in a 12-year relationship. Now I feel like just going back to that and saying, ‘You know what? I’m single.”
Nicki also spoke on the rings on her finger, confirming that none of them are engagement rings. She added, however, that her boyfriend has told her the next one she receives would be for the engagement.
“First of all, that’s not an engagement ring. Right?” she said, in response to a question from Ellen.
“I have two rings from this boy that likes me.” She said, playing coy on her relationship with Meek.
“That’s not my engagement ring though, he said that that’s my second ring and that if I get a third ring that that would be the engagement ring,”
