January 17, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): 'Pink Friday' hit maker Nicki Minaj and the R & B star Rihanna have been making waves in the gossip world for getting too mushy under the umbrella. Yes! Of late, Rihanna and Nicki have been brewing so much of limelight together that speculations had begun as to whether they are into a relationship.

Are Rihanna and Nicki the new couple to tread the lesbian path? But Nicki laughs off such rumours and slams down a negative answer much to the disappointment of the tabloids and paparazzi.

Nicky Minaj, 26-year old has dismissed speculations that she and Rihanna, 22 are an item. She cites that this has, indeed, come as one hilarious and insane news to her and she wonders how people come up with such suggestions!

She further states that they both had a big laugh over the issue since they know that this is a very bizarre rumour linking them despite the fact that they are both apparently straights and not homosexuals.

But the tabloids cant really be blamed for dishing such a story. After all, the two have, of late, looked head over heels in love with each other and have also posted sordid romantic details on twitter.

For instance, Rihanna had tweeted that she finds it hard to keep her hands off Nikki. Minaj shot back by tweeting that if Rihanna wants to live with her, she must learn to spell her name correctly (her name is not spelt as Nikki but as Nicki). However, now, Nicki Minaj has remarked that those tweets were posted out of sheer wit and fun.
