US singer Nicki Minaj had the internet in a huff on Thursday when she took to Twitter to confirm that she and rapper Meek Mill are no longer an item.
"To confirm, yes I am single. Focusing on my work and looking forward to sharing it with you guys really soon. Have a blessed New Year. Love you," she wrote in a tweet.
The pair's relationship had been plagued by several break-up rumours during the nearly two years that they were together.

Meek seemed to respond to the tweet by posting a picture of a wedged sneaker like those worn by Nicki in Ciara’s 2013 video for I’m Out, with the caption: "If you walk out don't wear these they wack...".
Many saw this as a diss at Nicki and her fashion sense.
And while it may be a sad day for many fans of the couple, the internet couldn't help but poke fun at the situation.
