Nicki Minaj On Friend Drake: ‘He Is Perfect’ But Here’s Why They Won’t Date


A few weeks ago, we reported that Nicki Minaj was fantasizing about marrying Drake. She may be fantasizing about it, but for fans who were holding out on a real relationship between the two, don’t hold your breath on it. The musicians are just friends, and if that’s not evident, Nicki Minaj explained recently in an interview with Capital Xtra on why it just wouldn’t work out between her and Drake.

While Minaj calls Drake “perfect,” she blames their busy schedules on why they haven’t tried to make a real go of it. The “Super Bass” rapper said, “I don’t know about guys in the industry… I think two artists [dating], that’s hard.”

Nicki doesn’t stop there. In fact, she has some advice for Drake since he keeps on getting burned by women, specifically R&B singer Rihanna. Minaj said that she thinks he should stay away from women in the industry. Additionally she has some words for the women who are after his attention, especially those who aren’t famous.

To catch Drake’s eye, Nicki Minaj jokingly sounded off on what might work with the singer’s personality.

“I think what works with Drake is if you act like you don’t like him… Be horrible to him.”

Was that a shot at Rihanna? While she didn’t address her specifically it sure does seem like there was something implied there.

This isn’t the first time Nicki Minaj and Drake’s names have been paired together. Over the years, the two have collaborated with each other and performed many times on stage as a duo. While they always played up their chemistry for the fans, this is the first concrete evidence we have of Minaj turning down any possibility that there may be something more between the stars.

Drake on the other hand rapped about Nicki Minaj before and it seems like the two did hook up at one point. On his album Nothing was the Same, the rapper confessed his love in the song “Tuscan Leather.” In the song he spits:

“Not even talkin’ to Nicki, communication is breakin’
I dropped the ball on some personal sh**, I need to embrace it”

According to an analysis by Rap Genius’ site, Drake’s lyrics translates to this:

I love Nicki Minaj
I told her I’d admit it
I hope one day we get married just to say we f****n did it

From the looks of it Drake didn’t embrace Nicki Minaj soon enough.
