This epic Nas and Nicki Minaj video has Twitter snoops coming out to play.

And once you see this video, you may be tweeting emoji eyes, too. 👀

Thursday, Sept. 14, marks Nas’ 44th birthday and he celebrated in style surrounded by food, friends and booze. While the party had many guests, including rapper and producer Swizz Beatz, the main event was Nas and Nicki. The pair seemed to finally confirm ongoing rumors of a relationship when they were snapped all over each other at the New York City shindig.

The reactions from Twitter users were varied but all were equally hilarious.

Some seemed pretty bummed out that Nas is off the market.

Rumblings of a romance between Nicki and Nas have been going on since May when the “No Frauds” rapper Instagrammed a photo of the pair snuggling up. Then, she didn’t exactly deny they were an item when she appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that month.

“He’s so dope,” Nicki said before admitting that although she’s celibate, the duo has “sleepovers.” “He’s the king. … I have a lot of respect for him. And, you know, he’s kind of cute, too.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
