Nicki MinajandMeek Millhad been a rumored couple for a while now. At this point there doesn't appear to be any doubt that they are together.
The two are now taking the Beyonce and Jay Z route by hitting the road together to double up on the money.
TMZ reports that Meek and Nicki, billed as the "Hottest Rap Couple" already have dates lined up Saturday, February 14, during NBA All-Star Weekend in New York City. That will be followed by a show in Charlotte later this month.
There are talks of a world tour tour. They will be co-headliners, but because Nicki is the bigger draw she will be paid almost twice as much as Meek.
Back in October we reported that a rift between Young Money artists Tyga and Drake had developed. During an interview with Vibe, T-Raww describing his disdain for his label mate.
"I don’t like Drake as a person. He’s just fake to me. I like his music; you know what I’m saying? I think his music is good, but we’re all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda’ like we were forcing relationships together. It is what it is. But I been friends with Chris [Brown] for like six years. That’s my real genuine friend. We hang out all the time. He lives up the street from me, so we don’t just do music we hang. I think being signed to Young Money, everybody felt like they had to force a relationship ‘cause Wayne put us together. At the end of the day the reason why I signed to Young Money is because of Wayne. Not because of Drake, not because of Nicki. It was because of Wayne and my relationship with him. I try to be cool with everybody, but sometimes, everybody just has different personalities, motives, and different characters. When you realize that, you realize that’s not a place where you want to continue to grow."
That interview was followed up by the song"Make It Work,"which is widely believed to be a Drake diss.
On Thursday, February 12, Drake fired back on a song entitled "6PM In New York" off of his new album, If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
In the song the Toronto rapper speaks on the Vibe interview and disses Tyga for his rumored romance with 17-year old Kylie Jenner.
"I heard the lil lil homie talking reckless in Vibe. It’s quite a platform you chose, you should have kept it inside/ Oh you tried, it’s so childish calling my name on the world’s stage/You need to act your age and not your girl’s age," Drake raps.
It didn't take long for Tyga to fire back via social media.

Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, YG and Rich Homie Quan team up for "Ride Out." This is taken from the Fast and Furious 7 motion picture soundtrack. The disc will be hitting stores on March 17.
Kanye West recently talked with Ryan Seacrest about the Grammy Awards controversy where he walked onstage during Beck's acceptance speech, intending the moment to be a joke, respecting Beck as an artist, wanting to erase racism, collaborating with Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Beyonce, Yeezy Boost sneakers and more.
James Prince, the CEO of Rap-A-Lot Records, has put Lil Wayne, Birdman, Diddy and Suge Knight on notice over his son Jas Prince and Drake.
The beefs have to do with a lawsuit against Young Money filed by Jas over Drake. It also centers around Diddy punching Drake on Sunday, December 7, outside of Liv nightclub in Miami and Suge subsequently warning Drizzy to stay loyal to Wayne or else.
In a recording obtained by TMZ, Prince makes it known that he considers Drake to be a part of his family. He says: "Puffy feeling like he can put his hands on my family, open the doors for his family to be touched. You reap what you sow."
Jas is widely credited with discovering Drake. He cut a deal with Young Money Records that included a cut of the rapper's future earning. He's suing the label claiming he's owed $4 million.
Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, claims that Jas recently chased him with a gun to force him into changing the language of the contract, according to AllHipHop.
“In the court documents, the lawyer explains that a deal was agreed upon by all parties but then a year later out of the blue, Jas showed up to where Cortez was and presented a new deal that he drafted by himself, which gave him more money from Drake’s music.
Cortez’s lawyer explains, my clients called in fear of their lives. The docs claim that Prince chased them around the table with a gun and threatened to kill them if they didn’t sign the new agreement. He goes on to say Cortez didn’t call the police because he feared for his life and he just signed the document.
Prince makes it clear that Wayne and Birdman better pay his son or else.
In late December Suge spoke with TMZ and endorsed Lil Wayne's efforts to leaveCash Money Records. During the interview he issued a warning to Drake.
"Drake, as long as you stay down with Wayne you don't gotta worry about the last dance with the dancer... it comes," Suge warns.
"To Sugar Bear, all on Wayne's nut sack. Nigga you know I ride with Drake," Prince replies in this new audio. "So, I accept any invitation you wanna bring. I'm your worst nightmare."

Stevie J is currently in federal court accused of owing a million dollars in back child support for two kids. When he spoke with a TMZ photographer on Tuesday, February 10, he explained that the case had no merit because neither he or his baby's mother lives in NYC, where the trial is being held.
He pointed out that the case was already thrown out of state court in May and hoped the same would happen in the current federal case.
As far as his kids are concerned, Stevie was adamant that they are well taken care of. They just spend his money way too fast.
"My kids can go through a check really quick," the Grammy Award-winning producer said.
