Nicki Minaj: 'I Don't Have A Man'

Nicki Minaj has laughed off rumours that she has a secret boyfriend, insisting that she is a single woman.

There has been speculation about whether Minaj is secretly dating for some weeks now, and reports have even suggested producer Scaff Breezy could be the man in question.

But answering fan questions during an interview with Marie Claire, the Starships singer appeared to dismiss the idea of a hidden love, saying: "Dear Barbz: I don't have a man. And if he were a secret man, why would I reveal him?"

The former American Idol judge did, however, have a few romance tips for her fans.

"Don't chase any man," she told the magazine. "Put your school first."

Nicki added: "Men love independent women. You don't have to be a bitch, but there's nothing wrong with it at times. And men are kids at heart. They want to be nourished and pet like a dog."

Minaj - who announced that she was quitting Idol to focus on her music - recently said the show was "a blessing".
