While Nicki Minaj may have squashed rumours about her dating Eminem, the pair are still having a lot of fun with the idea - even publicly planning their "first date".

Eminem addressed the crowd at a recent show in Boston, giving a "shout to my bae Nicki Minaj" and joking "sweetheart, I'll be home tonight, we'll figure this shit out - how we're gonna do this".

He then asked the crowd: "How many people in Boston want me to date Nicki Minaj?"

The crowd cheered and Eminem replied: "Well, goddamnit, me too", later adding: "Nicki if you get this message just txt me later, we'll talk about it".

Yo @NICKIMINAJ! @Eminem wants you to text him back to talk about this.....📱

Nicki quickly responded on Twitter, writing: "The fact that he's silly and a goof just like me. Love him so much."

She then added: "Em we need you on the #Queen album. That's where our first date will be; at the studio while I gaze into your beautiful eyes as you write your verse."

Nicki has pushed back the release of her highly anticipate album Queen. It was supposed to release next month but is now due to drop in October, which leaves plenty of time for the pair to make some magic in the studio.

At the rate they're going, a romance may not be on the cards but a collaboration seems inevitable.
