Apparently, the “are they/are they not dating” that we have all been speculating about Nas and Nicki Minaj can finally come to an end now, as according to E! News, the couple has been dating since May.

Earlier this week, during Nas’s 44th birthday at Pool Room in New York, a live video showed Nas trying to lick and kiss Nicki Minaj which not only added fuel to the already flaming dating rumours from the time they danced to Mr Eazi’s Skin Tight together, it also solidified the conclusion that they were in fact, dating.

On Friday (September 15), Nas appeared to make it somewhat official when he posted a photo of himself and Minaj to his Instagram account with the caption, “Virgo Season With my Real One From Queens! @nickiminaj #hennessylife.”

While Minaj was less conspicuous in her caption, she also posted a photo to her Instagram account on Friday from Nas’ birthday celebration that showed the couple in an embrace with giant smiles plastered across their faces.

I guess there is no need to speculate further and until proven otherwise, we now officially have another music power couple. Jay/Beyonce, Swizz/Alicia, get ready for the takeover.
