With millions of followers across their respective social media accounts, Eminem and Nicki Minaj are two of the most well-known figures in the rap music industry. Additionally, their combined album sales and streaming revenues total tens of millions.
Since she first entered the music industry, Minaj has never been shy about expressing her admiration for Eminem and her desire to work with him on a song. Therefore, when Minaj released her debut album “Pink Friday” in 2010 and Eminem was featured in the song “Roman’s Revenge,” few fans were shocked.
Did Nicki Minaj ever date Eminem? Are Nicki Minaj and Eminem friends?
Minaj described how she offered Eminem a song that he didn’t like but then asked her for another that he could work on when asked how she got Slim Shady on her album.
The “Chun Li” singer was so moved by his response that she wrote him a thank-you note, noting that it showed Eminem recognised her as a peer as opposed to some other singers who would have ignored her. Roman’s Revenge, the song they actually co-wrote, peaked at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2018, Nicki Minaj shared a video clip on her Instagram in which she was rapping along to her verse on the song “Big Bank” by rapper YG, which sparked suspicions that the two were dating.
One of her lyrics from the song, which hinted at their relationship, was used to tag the video. It said: “TOLD THEM I MET SLIM SHADY. BAGGED AN EM.”
