Nicki Minaj & Drake Relationship? — The Truth About Their New Romance

Drake, 27, isn’t necessarily ready for the ultimate commitment that a serious relationship would require, but that doesn’t seem to bother Nicki, 31. Could these two be a perfect match? We’re told the two rappers have a special connection, one that’s strong enough to perhaps take their relationship to the next level.



“They are friends who go way back, with a lot of chemistry,” a source connected to Drizzle EXCLUSIVELY explains to HollywoodLife.com. “There’s nothing but respect and love there.”

Sounds like this could be the beginning of something special!

Nicki Jumps Into Drake’s Arms As Rihanna Looks On

There was a lot of love flowing between Drake and Nicki at the 2014 Hot 97 Summer Jam on June 1.

After Nicki completed her performance on stage, she introduced Drake by joking, “It’s a n***a in Young Money I don’t f*** with no more — Drake. I used to love you, but I don’t love you no more.”

Drake smoothly walked onto the stage, with ex Rihanna, 26, watching. But apparently Nicki didn’t give a you know what because she — and all of her ASSets — jumped into Drake’s arms as he began performing “Worst Behavior.” Poor RiRi!

So HollywoodLifers, do YOU think Drake and Nicki would make a good couple? Let us know!
