Drake is still single

Canadian rapper Drake has been talking about his crush on fellow Young Money star Nicki Minaj for a long time.

He went public about his unrequited love in a song off his debut studio album, Thank Me Later. On Miss Me, featuring Lil Wayne, Drake rapped: I love Nicki Minaj/ I told her I’d admit it/ I hope one day we get married just to say we f***ing did it / And girl I’m f***king serious / I’m with it if you’re with it/ Cause your verses turn me on/ and your jeans are mighty fitted.

Now the two young performers posted messages on Twitter about actually tying the knot. Drake added a message: "Please refer to Nicki Minaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and don’t stare at her too long. She’s finally mine."

Minaj posted her own Twitter message confirming the news. She wrote: "Yes, it’s true. Drake and I tied the knot."

Well, the joke is up. A rep for Nicki Minaj released a statement saying rumours about a secret wedding were "not true". JustJared.com reports the rep said the two were just joking.
