In 2013, Nicki launched her Moscato and Sangria alcohol beverage in 2013 called MYX Fusions, in a quote off the website, Nicki Minaj said: “I didn’t want to create just another ordinary wine. I wanted to make something special, something unique, something that I would love to drink. My Moscatos and Sangrias create a completely different experience.”
Proving that she’s a woman that can do it all, the “Chun-Li” rapper has tried her hand at acting and has starred in “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” “The Other Woman” and “Barbershop: The Next Cut.”

When it comes to Nicki’s love life, she was always very private until her and Meek Mill started dating. Nicki and her ex-partner of 12 years, Safaree Samuels, called it quits in 2014.
In the messy break up the pair accused each other of cheating and Safaree accused Nicki of using his musical talents to make money and then ditching him.
In April 2015, Meek Mill confirmed what everyone was already thinking and revealed that him and Nicki were an item in a post on Instagram where he shared a pic of her, he wrote: “Find a woman that you think is strong enough 2 help you takeover the world! #richatheartandatpocket #imlucky.”
Nearly two years later in January 2017, the “Barbie Tingz” rapper announced that she was now single.
Following her split from Meek Mill, the 35-year-old reportedly started dating Nas in May of 2017 and the pair posted identical pictures of themselves on Insta.
Although they never officially confirmed that they were dating, fans assumed that something was going on between them after Nicki claimed that they were having “sleepovers.”
In January 2018 it was reported that the pair had split because their relationship had “run out of steam.”
Nicki recently joked that her and Eminem were dating before retracting and saying that their first date would be in the studio to work on her new album Queen coming out in August.
