Nicki Minaj has confirmed rumours that she's dating Eminem, after answering a fan's question on Instagram on Thursday.

The Chun-Li rap beauty, 35, took to the image-sharing app to promote a new single she's featured on — YG's Big Bank, alongside 2 Chainz and Big Sean — when one of her followers boldly enquired: 'You dating Eminem???'

Trinidadian-born Nicki, who was most recently romantically linked to 44-year-old rap veteran Nas, simply wrote back: 'Yes.'

Interestingly, she mentions Eminem during her verse on Big Bank, rapping: 'Uh oh/Back again/Back to back Maybach, stack the M's/Told 'em I met Slim Shady, bag the M/Once he go black, he'll be back again.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Nicki Minaj and Eminem for comment.

While it's unknown if Nicki was being serious in her response to the enquiring fan, she and Eminem — real name Marshall Mathers III — have long known each other, as they worked together on her hit 2010 single Roman's Revenge.

After the track's release, Nicki revealed that she sent the rap superstar another track before they landed on Roman's Revenge, telling MTV News: 'He didn't say, "I don't love it"; he just said, "Can you send me something that's a little more me??"'
