Nas and Nicki Minaj attend hip hop artist Nas' private birthday dinner, presented by Hennessy, the world's best-selling Cognac, at The Pool Lounge in New York City on September 13, 2017. Hennessy celebrates artists such as Nas who continue to push the limits of potential to 'Never stop. Never settle.' Guests enjoyed a variety of Hennessy cocktails including Nas' signature drink - The Big Apple, along with a classic V.S.O.P Privilége Sazerac and X.O on ice.
Nas and Nicki Minaj are apparently no more.

One of the most interesting relationships of 2017 were Nas and Nicki Minaj. While neither ever confirmed they were dating, they weren't that discreet about their relationship for the most part. However, it seems that their relationship has come to an end.

Nicki Minaj and Nas have reportedly broken up, according to TMZ. Their sources claim they broke up a few weeks a go after their relationship "ran out of steam." Recent reports claimed that Nicki Minaj was pregnant with Nas' child but that's also been debunked. Despite the fact they split, it seems like they'll remain on relatively good terms. While they won't be hanging out as friends, they also have a mutual respect for each other.

The two rappers first started dating back in June of last year and the reason for their break is allegedly because living in different cities became strenuous and overwhelming for their relationship. 

Now that they've split, they'll both have more time to focus on their own ventures in both music and business. Neither artist has dropped in an album in quite some time despite the demand. Nas took to DJ Khaled's to announce that eleventh studio album is done but we've yet to hear any other information about it other than that.

Meanwhile, Nicki's been getting busy this year with the amount of guest features she's hopped on. At this point, everyone's waiting on her upcoming album which she's described as "so fucking good."  Hopefully she ends up releasing it in 2018.
