It started with a reference to Eminem in Nicki Minaj's new single, Big Bank, and then quickly escalated from there. 

Some of the lyrics read: "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."

When a fan asked Minaj on social media if she's dating the Lose Yourself rapper, she promptly responded "Yes". Eminem later jumped in and dismissed the speculation, but said he'd love to date her.
