The thrill is gone from Nas and Nicki Minaj's relationship, so they have gone they're separate ways.
The former couple began dating in June 2017, five months after Nicki and Meek Mill called it quits.
TMZ reports that things cooled off for the superstar rappers, in part because they live in different cities. They decided to pull the plug several weeks ago.
There's no bad blood between Nicki and Nas. Things just didn't work out. Both will now concentrate on their careers and other business opportunities.
Also, their's no truth to the rumor that Nicki is pregnant.

While marijuana use has been legalized in many states, it remains a banned substance in professional sports.
Former NBA star Stephen Jackson believes that needs to change.
"They won't let it be legal until they [can] control it. I smoked my whole career. I had a hell of a career. Didn't miss no games" Jackson told TMZ Sports. "I ain't gon' say it helped [during games]. But as far as coming down after the games relaxing ... yeah it helped. Nobody can play high. Especially in the NBA. It's a high level of competition and guys are great.
"But after the games guys need to come down and relax because it's a physical sport," he continued. "If anybody says they need to be high during a game they don't know what the fuck they talking about. The games I smoked was the games I knew I wasn't gonna play."
Jackson enjoyed a 14-year NBA career. The Houston native played for the San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks and L.A. Clippers.

G Herbo’s path to greatness wasn’t paved with yellow brick. The neighborhood he grew up in on Chicago's East Side is known—fondly, to some—as “Terror Town.” Passage through a metal detector is required for entrance into his old middle school.
In the latest MASS APPEAL documentary, 'City of Sorrow,' G Herbo makes his triumphant return to Hyde Park Academy, where he attended middle school.
“Before I get out of here, I just wanted to tell y’all that no matter what you do in life, the main three things to remember is to keep faith in yourself, stay focused and keep working hard,” the Humble Beast rapper tells an excited crowd inside Hyde Park Academy auditorium—the same place he used to show up to school smelling of weed. “Ain’t nothing easy. Everything in life is hard, there will be ups and downs, you’re gonna lose, you’re gonna fail. But you only fail if you give up.”
“You cannot just… ‘Oh, get out of the streets.' You’ll either die or go to jail.' Everybody knows that,” says Mikkey Halsted—the former rapper, current president of A&R Machine Ent. Group, and mentor figure to Herbo—as he waits to make a turn at a streetlight. Halsted deconstructs many of the stigmas and myths surrounding life in Chicago as he takes our cameras through Herbo’s former stomping grounds.
“Leave the streets to do what? Go work in McDonalds? ‘So the people that was trying to kill me last week, can see me in McDonalds?’”
Herbo did find a way to leave the streets and went to work at places like Hot 97’s Summer Jam. His story is one that Halsted, and the city of Chicago wants to push out to a wider audience. “I damn near saw, like, Nas and Tupac,” Mikkey says about encountering Herbo’s talent for the first time. That’s what I felt. So, I came to get him. I came home.”

In April 2017 Chief Keef was arrested in Miami when cops claim they witnessed a weed deal between a passenger in Keef's vehicle and another car.
The 22-year old Chicago rapper, born Keith Cozart, was also given a field sobriety test at the time, which he failed.
He was charged with felony DUI, and we now know the laundry list of narcotics that were in his system, thanks to TMZ.
The website reports that Keef's urine tested positive for Morphine, Codeine, Promethazine, THC, Hydrocodone, Norcodeine, Dihydrocodeine and Hydromorphone.
That's a whopping total of eight drugs.
The State's attorney refiled the DUI charge on Wednesday after dropping it Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict.

Music and video streaming giant Spotify has just been hit with a huge lawsuit.
Reuters reports that Wixen Music Publishing Inc filed the $1.6 billion suit last week, alleging copyright infringement related to the use of songs by the Doors, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Weezer. Neil Young and others.
Spotify failed to get a direct or a compulsory license from Wixen that would allow it to reproduce and distribute songs such as Petty's "Free Falling" and the Doors' “Light My Fire," Wixen said in the lawsuit, filed in a California federal court.
Wixen also accuses Spotify of outsourcing its work to a third party, licensing and royalty services provider the Harry Fox Agency, which was “ill-equipped to obtain all the necessary mechanical licenses.”
