A post shared by Barbie (@nickiminaj) on May 24, 2018 at 9:47pm PDT

When one of her followers asked her to clarify if that meant she and Eminem were in fact a couple, she responded "yes".

Minaj, 35, mentions Eminem in her latest song when she says: "Told em' I met Slim Shady, bag the M/Once he go black, he'll be back again."

Whether or not the Grammy award-winning artist is just messing with all of us is not known but the internet is going into meltdown over the possibility.

Minaj was most recently linked to hip hop artist Nas while Eminem, 45, recently told Vulture that he hasn't been dating much.
