‘So wait, one more time: Let me make sure I can actually make this official. How many people want me to date Nicki Minaj?’

And while the crowd roared, Eminem confessed he wanted to date her too.

He wants in! ‘Well goddamnit, me too! We’ll figure this s**t out. How we’re gonna deal with this publicly?’ revealed Eminem

‘Well goddamnit, me too! We’ll figure this s**t out. How we’re gonna deal with this publicly?’

And after the footage surfaced on Twitter, Nicki also got in on the action.

She wrote: ‘LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The fact that he’s silly & a goof just like me. Love him so much. Em we need you on the #Queen album. That’s where our 1st date will be; at the studio while I gaze into ur beautiful eyes as u write ur verse. (sic)’

Nicki’s keen! ‘LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The fact that he’s silly & a goof just like me. Love him so much. Em we need you on the #Queen album. That’s where our 1st date will be; at the studio while I gaze into ur beautiful eyes as u write ur verse. (sic)’

The flirty exchange comes after Nicki posted a clip of herself rapping her new single – which also features YG, 2 Chainz and Big Sean – which seems to hint at the star having slept with Eminem – who is also known as Slim Shady.

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 commented on her Instagram post asking if she was dating the rapper, Nicki simply replied: ‘Yes’

At the time of writing, neither pair have confirmed whether the comment was a joke, but Eminem’s on-stage confessions seems to suggest the duo are not currently an item.

Joke or serious: When a fan commented on Nicki’s Instagram post asking if she was dating the rapper, she simply replied: ‘Yes’
