Last week, we learned that Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill had broken up when Nicki confirmed her “newly single” status on social media. The reasons for the split were not immediately clear, but not surprisingly, rumors that Meek got caught cheating began to circulate on social media. Several supposed insiders seemed so confident that at one point, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Meek’s side-chick emerged to tell her side of the story. Now, however, TMZ is claiming to have unearthed the real reason that Nicki and Meek called it quits , and amazingly, it seems it might not have anything to do with infidelity. Apparently, Nicki, Meek, and a bunch of their friends jetted off to Turks and Caicos for her birthday weekend last month. Sources say the trip was a disaster from the start, with Meek basically ignoring Nicki and partying with his entourage non-stop. The story goes: Nicki blew up at Meek in front of his crew, and rather than allow himself to be semi-publicly disrespected, he headed to the airport and flew home several days ahead of schedule/ Nicki basically called his bluff and informed them after he landed that the relationship was over. A believable series of events and further evidence that stars are just like us – they break up for dumb reasons, too. But that doesn’t mean the question of Meek’s possible infidelity has entirely been answered. There are still those who believe that the real reason behind Nicki and Meek’s feud was her persistent suspicion that he’d been sleeping around on her. Meek is suspected of getting down with a woman named Sonye Rasool. A friend of Rasool’s tells TMZ that Sonye hooked up with Meek years before he met Nicki, but denies that she was ever his cheating partner. The site reports that Rasool is not taking the allegations lying down, and that she’s planning to file defamation suits against several media outlets. Whatever the case, Nicki and Meek ‘shippers have already started talking about the possibility of a reconciliation. Many feel that the Turks and Caicos story indicates that Nicki and Meek broke up over something small, which means they could easily patch things up.
