If you have ever stepped one foot in the world of hip hop, you must have heard of Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. We saw many famous groups going their separate ways and many Hollywood power couples calling it quits, but the Young Money crew has been there for each other since day one.

Wayne and Nicki are one of the most loyal people in the industry, whose relationship has always been based on pure love and respect. Unlike other rappers, these two never said anything bad about each other, and even when there were problems, they worked them out. 

The rap world should be grateful for the moment Wayne saw the potential in Nicki and signed her to his label, which led to numerous iconic moments and collaborations. But where did it all start? Did they ever date? Did they have public fights?

I will disclose everything there is to know about their bond in this article. Here is a closer look into the relationship between the “King” and “Queen” of rap.

Where It All Started – Wayne And Nicki’s Relationship Analysis

In 2009 Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne met, and the rest is history.

Before meeting Wayne and starting her solo career, Nicki Minaj was in a band. The band was called “The Hood stars,” and they did a couple of mixtapes together. However, Nicki always knew she was destined for a solo career.

After hearing her mixtape, Wayne instantly decided to sign her. He called her, they met up and made a deal. Nicki knew all about Wayne and was thrilled she even got the chance to talk to him.

All in all, Nicki Minaj was signed to “Young Money records,” Wayne’s subdivision of “Cash Money Records.” At some point, Wayne wanted to cut ties with his old label and got in a fight with Birdman.

However, Nicki still remained good with Birdman and “Cash Money Records” even after Wayne went into a legal battle with them.

Under Wayne’s wing, Nicki released her first solo track, “Your Love.” It was a huge success, making Nicki the first female artist to top the charts.

In 2010  Nicki dropped her debut album “Pink Friday,” which is now certified triple platinum. Her breakthrough hit, “Super Bass,” is still one of her most successful tracks.

Wayne and Nicki’s first collaboration, the “Roman’s revenge” remix, was a part of the album.

Two years later, Young Money records published Nicki’s second studio album, “Pink Friday, Roman Reloaded.” Wayne has his verse on the song “Roman Reloaded.”

Nicki showed her loyalty by mentioning “Young Money” on almost every track. On her hit “Monster” with Jay Z and Kanye, she said: “Young money is the rasta and the monster crew.”

When reflecting on the moment he signed her, Wayne said: “I knew it. She changed the culture for young women” “There is a whole gang following her path” Lil Wayne about Nicki Minaj.

“High School” – First Song

Nine years ago, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj dropped the music video for “High School.”” It is their first music video where they appear both. The rapper’s killed their individual verses and sounded amazing together.

The song was very successful and has been certified  2x platinum. In the music video, Wayne and Nicki acted like they were in a relationship, which was suspicious to many fans. Still, the rappers once again denied it.

Fun fact: The song “High school” became famous again in 2021 due to TikTok. Fans loved their verses and incredible flows, which were a perfect fit for funny Tik Tok videos.

Were There Any Struggles?

Between Wayne and Nicki, there were never any fights, at least not in public. They were always on speaking terms and never said bad words about each other. Every time Nicki has a chance to talk about the music industry, she praises Weezy.

However, the trio ( Nicki, Wayne, and Drake) were not always best buds. 

Wayne took both Drake and Nicki under his wing. The trio did a lot of collaborations and remixes together, always saying they were a family. Nicki mentions their little family bond in many songs; she says: “Pop bottles with my team, young money ‘till the death of me.”

She also said they are a perfect crew: “I spoke to Jay the other day, he’s still the kingpin; he still the only nigga that I woulda signed to if I ain’t sign to Wayne’s perfectly designed crew.” Still, even though Wayne had a good relationship with them both, Nicki and Drake were constantly on and off. Drizzy and Barbie never had a public fight, but they weren’t on good terms for a while.

Luckily, they managed to work out their differences privately, and now they are besties once again.

They did trio many collaborations together, like “Only” and “Seeing Green.” One of the latest and my favorite is “No Frauds.”

“No Frauds” – “Drake A Headliner, Nicki Getting Finer. “

Even though Nicki and Drake had a turbulent relationship, he jumped on the track when she needed him.

 Remy Ma, Nicki’s rap rival, released “ShETHER,” a diss track aimed at Nicki. She raps about Nicki having ghostwriters and her previous failed relationships. 

Nicki first released a video where she said that Remy did this because her album flopped. Still, she didn’t stop there. The Queen of rap needed to jump into this rap battle, and with no other than her brothers.

Wayne and Drake did their part and “ended” Remy with an iconic song and music video. The video was not only a massive diss track but also a very successful collaboration. It was also the song that brought Nicki and Drake back together.

Nicki didn’t tell a lie when she said: “Cause we the big three, don’t need a big speech, we made the biggest impact, check the spreadsheet, that’s Lil Weezy, the Barbie, and Drizzy Drake.”

The track was a cultural and historical moment in the rap culture because not many people would support others like that.

The Most Popular Nicki Minaj And Lil Wayne Collaborations

1. Senille

On “Senile,” Nicki Minaj and Wayne are joined by the rapper Tyga. He is also signed to Wayne’s label, and this was one of his breakthrough hits.

“Senile” has a very dark and trippy vibe, filled with dope bars and amazing flows. One of the rare collaborations where every artist was allowed to themselves, shine, and spit dope bars. 

2. Rich Sex

“Rich Sex” is a track off Nicki’s last album, “Queen.” Nicki’s alter ego was summoned for this track, and that made it spicy. They both have very sexy and explicit verses but don’t reference each other.

Wayne also hopped on the “Good Form” remix after the album was released. The remix reached number 60 on Billboards hot 100.

3. Only

In the hit track “Only,” Nicki Minaj declares that she never had sex with Wayne or Drake, trying to end the ongoing rumors. The two rappers also rapper about how they wish they had sex with Nicki but didn’t.

Besides the famous trio, Chris Brown had a part in this song. Three powerful men surrounded Nicki, but she still managed to outshine them.

“Only” is one of the most controversial tracks by the trio because they explicitly talk about their attraction to each other.

Nicki And Wayne’s Most Prominent Relationships

Nicki and Wayne weren’t linked to each other romantically so far, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t linked to other people. The love life of the two famous rappers was always something people wanted to know about. Here is a breakdown of the most prominent relationships of the Queen and King of rap.

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill

It is no secret that Nicki likes dating fellow rappers. Almost all of her boyfriends were from the rap circles until she got married to her childhood sweetheart, Zoo. Guess she got tired of constant rap battles with her exes.

Anyway, Nicki’s first public relationship was with Safaree, and they dated for 12 years before calling it quits. Even though that was her longest relationship, the one that got the public’s attention was with Meek Mill.

Meek Mill and Nicki started off as friends while she was still in a relationship with Safaree. However, after the breakup, there were some subtle hints that the two were spending more and more time together. They did some mixtapes and performed together, but the thing that fuelled the rumors were the sexy Instagram pictures of the two.

Even though they denied the relationship for some time, they posted many sexy pics and flirtatious tweets. Finally, Meek Mill admitted that they were an item during a concert.

After some time, Nicki posted a picture of a ring, sparking engagement rumors, but later denied them. The mysterious and turbulent relationship ended after some time, and the reason never got out. Some of Nicki’s fans claimed the main reason was the feud between Nicki’s BFF, Drake, and her former lover, Mill.

The pair didn’t end up on good terms, and recently Nicki and her husband got into a verbal fight when they met Meek in a store.

After a very public and turbulent relationship, Nicki decided to settle down with Keneth Petty ( Zoo). Even though Zoo is not a public figure, many were concerned because of his criminal past. Still, Nicki decided to give him a chance because he loved her before the money and the fame. They got married and are now enjoying their life in a trio, with their son.

Lil Wayne and Toya Johnson

Lil Wayne and Toya Johnson

Lil Wayne is known for being a good lover, so it is not strange that he has been with 40+ women. Currently, he has 4 children with 4 baby mamas and a new girl – wow.  How did it start? His rollercoaster love life started off with his first wife, Toya at the age of 13.

Toya and Wayne met in school while Wayne was starting his rap career. Toya fell in love with him, and they got together after a few dates. Shockingly the young girl got pregnant and dropped out of school. She decided to move into Wayne’s home and deliver the baby.

Wayne was initially delighted to be a young dad, but he didn’t realize the thought choices he would need to make. He decided to pursue his rap career and focus less on his family life. In 2004 the couple had their little girl, and they got married.

After 2 years, Toya couldn’t handle Wayne’s “rockstar” life and decided to call it quits. Even though everyone was rooting for them, they didn’t get back together.

After Toya, Wayne had 3 more children with 3 different women, and he didn’t settle. Right now, he is linked to Denis Bidot, and the two have been dating since 2020.

There were rumors that the rapper proposed, but he quickly shut them down during a live with Nicki Minaj. Nicki asked him the question that was on everyone’s lips, and Wayne denied being married. Still, it wouldn’t surprise me if he proposes soon, you never know with Wayne.
