Fans were crushed when Nas and Nicki Minaj announced their split in early 2018 after months of dating rumors. The two rappers had been seemingly inseparable, attending red carpets and music festivals together. However, the relationship wasn't without its share of drama. In April, Nicki was reportedly frustrated with Nas' distaste for social media. "He doesn't understand social media, and he doesn't understand Instagram, and he doesn't understand what it is to be famous and have people who follow you," she said during an episode of her Apple Music radio show, Queen Radio. While the relationship ultimately didn't work out, there's no denying the chemistry between the two artists. Here's a look back at their brief but highly publicized coupling. Nas and Nicki began dating in June 2017, shortly after she split from her long-term boyfriend, Meek Mill. The relationship was Nas's first high-profile one since his ex-wife Kelis divorced in 2010.
