Nicki Minaj Denies Meek Mill Engagement Rumors, He Will Give Her 3 Rings Before Marriage Nicki Minaj just got a huge rock from Meek Mill for her birthday but don’t look for them to jump the broom anytime soon. In the latest Billboard cover story , she sets the record straight about her rumored engagement to Meek: “He and I are not engaged,” says Nicki, still flashing a shiny rock on her ring finger before offering that Meek assured her three rings before marriage. She also explains how music’s power couple Jay Z and Beyonce — the epitome of hashtag relationship goals — recently gave wise words to the pair Twitter dubbed Omeeka. “We actually spoke with Jay Z and Beyoncé about it, too,” Nicki recalled. “After our show at [Brooklyn’s] Barclays Center [in October], we had dinner together. They were so giving with advice. I love them so much. It was just a beautiful conversation to have with people we love and we look up to as a couple. They’re so strong.” While Minaj didn’t divulge the details, she noted that it was an LOL-worthy affair. “I’d rather keep it private. I know Meek — he understood a couple things that I was explaining to him more when we spoke about it in front of them. We were all laughing so much. It was very late — you know when you get so tired, and it’s just like the giggles portion of the evening?” Nicki definitely got illuminati’d into the Knowles clique with all this talk of privacy. But whatever advice it is she got from JayOnce, she definitely isn’t keeping things anywhere NEAR as private as the couple did before the wed. She was downright gushing over Rihmeek to Billboard! Minaj admits that dating a fellow artist sometimes means private studio sessions (she has yet to hear the “secret music” from Meek’s forthcoming Dreamchasers 4 mixtape) but that the bond they share keeps her smiling. “I don’t know what’s going to happen with he and I,” Minaj says of Meek, with whom she now shares a home in Los Angeles. “I just know right now we are really, really enjoying each other’s company. So, shout out to everybody in the world that’s just trying to find love or be happy. Everybody should have someone to hold at night. It really, really changes your energy. I find that my energy is very different afterward — if I’m in the bed with him, just hugging him all day. It’s just, like, something about love. You transfer it. It’s infectious.” Whatever makes you happy Nick. Instagram/Billboard
This is hilarious. At the conclusion of last night’s Washington Wizards-Detroit Pistons game, small forward Trevor Ariza fired off a three-pointer from the corner. Just as the buzzer sounded, it hit the net and the Washington announcers went crazy, screaming about the “DAGGER!” that just propelled their team to victory. There was just one problem: The shot merely hit the net. It did not go into the net. It was an airball, the Pistons were victorious and it took the play-by-play guy an unusual amount of time to actually realize this fact. Watch for yourself: Wizards Announcer Blows Buzzer Beater
