Nicki Minaj and Eminem are either enjoying the world's best trolling or a beautiful romance - we're just not too sure which it is.

The rumours began circulating from a number of different places - firstly from Nicki's song lyrics that reference a certain 'Slim Shady', and secondly from some cryptic comments on her Instagram feed.
Yesterday Nicki responded to a fan's question on Instagram, asking if the pair were dating, to which she replied: "Yes."
Slim Shady has since also responded to Nicki's comment in the same social media post saying: "Girl you know it's true..."
Nicki then commented on that message (stay with us), saying: "Babe I thought we were gonna keep it on the low til the wedding. Yikes. I'll talk to you when I get home."

While they're both answering in the affirmative, we can't help but feel that they're playing us all.
The question was likely sparked by Nicki's lyrics from her new song, 'Big Bank', with YG, 2 Chainz and Big Sean, where she says: "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."
That's also off the back of Em's lyrics in 'Fast Lane' from Bad Meets Evil, where he rapped: "Let me tell you what this pretty little dame's name is / 'Cause she's kinda famous / I hope that I don't sound too heinous when I say this / Nicki Minaj, but I wanna stick my penis in your anus."
Ah, a truly modern romance, eh?

Fans remain undecided about Nicki and Eminem's 'news', with some congratulating the two on their romance, while others seek more confirmation.
One person commented: "Omgawd if it's true you're with Em.... SAWEET JESUS".
Someone else wrote: "@nickiminaj congratulations on dating @eminem hope you two have a great relationship."
Referencing Slim's X-rated lyrics, another person wrote: "Now Eminem can finally stick his penis in your anus."

Not everyone is convinced yet, though, with one fan asking: "So Nicki, are you dating Eminem?"
Another person asked: "Are u dating Marshall?"
Another said: "You really dating eminem? Im excited for yo diss tracks".
All we can do is shrug, really - they could well be dating, they could be trolling the world... or maybe they're just having a nice old online flirt. Go on, Slim, slip into her DMs already...
