It’s not so long ago that Nicki Minaj confirmed that she had split from her long-term boyfriend Safaree Samuels, and now that reports are claiming that she has taken up with a new man, it seems Samuels is feeling the strain of their split.

According to reports, Samuels has caught word that Nicki is dating fellow rapper Meek Mill, with the revelation leaving him devastated.

A source told entertainment site TMZ that Samuels has become a total “shut-in” after hearing about Nicki’s alleged hook-up, and shockingly, friends say he has spoken “openly” about suicide.

Nicki and Samuels dated for 12 years and announced their split back in October, following weeks of rumours.

Nicki was recently questioned by Ryan Seacrest over her potential new romance with Mill, but she denied any claims that she had a “new boy”.

Rapper Nicki Minaj  is no stranger to controversy, but she may have gone too far this time. The thirty-one-year old singer has come under fire as a result of the video for her latest track, Only.

The Anti Defamation League has slammed Nicki for using “unadulterated Nazi imagery” in her new animated video. The video, also featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, is littered with what appears to be various references to Nazism.

Nicki appears as a dictator, while soldiers sporting red arm bands reminiscent of those worn by SS officers also feature, but unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there.

Flags with interlocking Y and M letters have been compared to swastikas while explosions and gas masks only add to the speculation that the Anaconda singer is trivialising that particular period in history.

The national director of ADL, Abraham H Foxman, who himself survived the Holocaust has said: “This video is insensitive to Holocaust survivors. The abuse of Nazi imagery is deeply disturbing and offensive to Jews and all those who can recall the sacrifices Americans and many others had to make as a result of Hitler’s Nazi juggernaut.”

Nicki has yet to comment or respond to the allegations. What do you think of the rapper's latest offering?

Nicki Minaj pretty much stole the show at last night's EMAs, which she hosted live from Glasgow.

The Pink Friday singer took to the stage in a gravity-defying entrance, floating 14ft off the floor in a flowing grey gown.

In standard Nicki style, the star managed to curse within seconds of opening her mouth, shouting "What the f*** is up Glasgow? It’s November and it’s the EMAs. Sit back, relax and get ready to turn the f*** up." She later apologised (kinda), saying "I'm sorry if I cursed, but I am Nicki Minaj." 

Viewers were treated to a total of EIGHT outfit changes, including a skintight sheer jumpsuit and a tiny white dress which showed off an equally tiny white thong underneath. We wouldn't expect anything less from Nicki!

Fans were hopeful that One Direction might make a surprise appearance after winning three awards on the night, but sadly the lads only showed up via video link. Boring!

As well as performing her new song, Bed of Lies, host Nicki went native with a Scottish-themed rap, including lines from The Proclaimers' song, I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles). And, if that wasn't enough, she finished things off with a Super Bass/Anaconda medley.

Ariana Grande made a stellar effort to hog the limelight for her performances of Problem and Break Free in a skintight leotard, but we reckon Nicki still won the night hands down!

Could we have a new Beyoncé on our hands? We reckon so, if this diva pose is anything to go by!

This cover of Nicki Minaj’s 'Anaconda' is simply genius!

Described by the makers as a “vintage bluegrass hoedown” this is one version of the song we have no problem listening to!

The video is much safer for work than the original too which is great…!

No matter what you think at two in the morning, you definitely don't have dance moves like this girl.

Whatever you think of choice of Nicki Minaj's new single Anaconda, your jaw will drop when you see what 11-year old Taylor Hatala is capable of. This won't be the last we hear of her!

Nicki Minaj has gotten a seriously classy makeover for a recent spread in Dazed magazine.

Now, don’t get us wrong, sometimes Nicki can get it very very right in the style stakes, remember this dress?

However, sometimes she gets it very wrong too…

Despite this, the only things we never thought we would see her in was a Chanel style pink tweed jacket!

The Anaconda singer looked every inch the classy ‘50s housewife as she sat at a retro table with her hair in a sleek bob.

We’d know those almond-shaped talons anywhere though!

Another photo from the shoot features a pair of green wellies…with a heel. Where can we get them before the next Electric Picnic?!

Nicki looks great and her makeover really reminds us of Pamela Anderson's from a couple of weeks ago – don't you think?!

Nicki Minaj was reportedly none too happy at last night's Fashion Rocks concert, and she didn't keep quiet about it!

According to concert insiders, the singer was raging that she didn't as much rehearsal time as fellow diva Jennifer Lopez.

J-Lo "ran through her song twice because the stage crew needed some extra practice for her scenery set-up,” a concert insider said. “Then Nicki wanted extra rehearsal time, too, even though production didn’t need it.”

When she was refused, Nicki apparently had a total temper tantrum. "She was acting completely out of control, and threatened to walk off the show," the source revealed.

Nicki made a few snide comments on social media too. She took to Instagram to say, "Artists spend so much of their own money, time and passion to deliver their fans great performances. But ultimately, our art usually falls into the hands of people who care nothing about our art and creativity" – this in relation to the fact that the cameras missed some of her best choreography.

"CBS decided not to show it," she said. "Had they told us this before, we would have changed the choreo[graphy] so that you guys could see the full performance from beginning to end." Ouch! 

She also posted this message on Twitter, mouthing off about how her performance of Anaconda was filmed:

Offstage at the awards, Nicki showed off an unusually demure look, with natural slicked-back hair and a black dress:

It seems the toned-out down outfit didn't match her temper though!

Now you may have missed it, but Ellen made an appearance in Nicki Minaj’s now famous video for Anaconda.

Everyone has a few childhood home videos lying in the attic that they’d rather never saw the light of day again, but this old clip of Nicki Minaj is all kinds of cute.

Before Nicki was a show-stopping diva with awesome clothes and rainbow-coloured hair, she was just little Onika Maraj from Queens, New York. Far from wanting to be a star, Onika’s dream was to be a nurse, so that she could “help people less fortunate than I am.”

No mention of Drake there so!

Nicki has spoken in the past about her difficult childhood and her wish to help those around her. “I would go in my room and kneel down at the foot of my bed and pray that god would make me rich so that I could take care of my mother,” she told Rolling Stone back in 2010.

Well, at least that wish came true for the star.

Dream big, we say!

People didn’t know where to look when Nicki Minaj’s dress split while ON STAGE at the VMA Awards last night.

Following her explosive performance of new single, Anaconda, Nicki returned to the stage to join Jessie J for new song, Bang Bang.

Unfortunately for the rapper, it seems her black minidress had other ideas and the zipper had completely split, as Nicki tried as professionally as possible to keep the dress together and make her way through the song.

Thankfully, she managed to make it through the stage performance without actually exposing anything, which was pretty impressive!

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande and Jessie J looked none the wiser to Nicki's indiscretion, or at least they certainly didn't let it show!

As they say, the show must go on!

Shortly after the incident, #DidNicki began trending on Twitter, with many people wondering what actually happened up there – was it a wardrobe malfunction or a publicity stunt?

Hmm, so which was it Nicki? A wardrobe malfunction or a "wardrobe malfunction"?

One of Nicki Minaj’s poor backing dancers was rushed to hospital during rehearsals for the VMAs after being bitten by a snake!

Ehhh….Ouch!

Nicki and her dancers were rehearsing for the MTV Video Music Awards performance of her latest song Anaconda. 

In typical Diva style, an actual anaconda snake was part of the planned performance at Sunday night’s ceremony.

But things took a turn for the worse when the 6ft snake sank its teeth into the dancer’s foot!

The dancer was apparently then rushed to hospital and is currently receiving medical treatment.

It is unknown if the snake will still be used in the performance, but it was reportedly taken away from the run-through in a container after biting the dancer.

Maybe leave the snake at home tomorrow night Nicki!

Nicki maybe delaying the release date of her album Anaconda but decided to cheer up her fans by sharing some hilarious internet memes.

Of course Minaj didn’t share any normal memes but instead posted images of her now-infamous album art cover.

Instead of letting the internet get to her, she embraced it, and shared some of the hilarious memes on her Instagram page.

Nicki explained to her fans that her album would be delayed till the end of the week: “My darlingz, I’ve pushed the release of Anaconda to next week, Monday 8/4. I promise you will understand why before the week is out. Loveeeeeeee uuuuuu.”

But we’re sure her fans are willing to forgive after these hilarious memes:
