The 26-year-old branded suggestions that she and the Umbrella hitmaker were living together "insane", reported Us magazine online.



"I don't know where people got this really insane, hilarious, random rumour that she and I were living together," said the Pink Friday hitmaker.



"We had just shot the video for a song I have on the album called Fly. When I saw her the first thing I said was 'So, did you hear we're living together'. We just started cracking up laughing and she was like 'I can't believe people are this ridiculous'," said Minaj.
