Nicki Minaj shows off a heart-shaped engagement ring: tacky or nice?

😩😂

Nicki Minaj has been keeping a relatively low media profile (compared to her usual attention-seeking antics) lately. Also out of character – Nicki generally doesn’t say much about her personal life, but now she has a big annoucement. According to E!, Nicki is engaged to fellow rapper Meek Mill. This happened fast. They’ve been making googly eyes at each other on Instagram and haven’t been together long. Nicki previously dated Safaree Samuels for 14 years. TMZ reported on their dramatic breakup that happened last fall. Nicki (allegedly) attacked Safaree’s car with a baseball bat during an argument.

Nicki’s been dating Meek for less than six months. The exact timeline isn’t certain, but Nicki flashed her huge engagement ring on Instagram. What do you think?

I think it’s pretty awful, yet it’s completely Nicki’s style. This is like Lady Gaga’s ring, only worse. Heart-shaped rings are fine, but this looks like costume jewelry. Nicki’s taste always runs towards flashy though. Her engagement ring should be no exception. Her wedding dress (if she makes it that far with Meek) should be a disaster.

E! confirmed the big news with a Nicki insider, who says, “Both Meek and Nicki have been spending amazing quality time together lately and have gotten extremely close these past few months. It may seem like it all is happening very quickly but Nicki and Meek are in this 100. They truly love each other.” E! also spoke with a jeweler who eyeballed this ring as “a 15-carat fancy yellow heart modified brilliant cut diamond mounted in platinum with a double halo of white pavé diamonds.” The estimated cost runs about $500,000. Ouch.

    The ring is hideous, bit I truly wonder how she zips her pants with those fingernails?

    • Darling says:

      Anybody check out safaree breezy (her ex) Twitter..as soon as this engagement story dropped so did private pictures of nicki courtesy of him..what a douche

      • AlmondJoy says:

        That page was confirmed to be a fake/copycat page. He has been pretty clear about the fact that he will never say anything bad against her or the relationship they had.

      • QQ says:

        Doubt it was Safaree he really was very over her/and had nothing too mean/rude to say about her and has stated he is not about to mudsling her

        Also : That Ring is Terrible looking

    • Mzizkrizten says:

      How does she zip her pants, how does she wipe her butt, how does she get eye boogers out… So many questions.

      • Wren says:

        Actually a nice nail can help with stubborn eye boogers….. But I also have so many questions. Wiping, tampons, pants zipping, tapping an iphone screen, all the things. I can just imagine stabbing myself accidentally or being thwarted by a nail trying to do just about anything.

      • laura.e says:

        Yep I doubt she would be able to wipe very well.. and that is one giant butt..
        yuck

  2. Sugar says:

    That ring isn’t my taste at all but it fits Nicki’s aesthetic. She looks beautiful when she goes minimal but she’s fun when she’s tacky.

  3. savu says:

    Anybody missing a piece from their Pretty Pretty Princess game?

  4. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I’m sorry, that last red white and blue outfit with the thong just did me in. I need to lie down.

    • Kiddo says:

      You had to know that sooner or later someone would compete with your beige bootie shorts look. Time to up your game!

    • vavavoom says:

      Imagine the view from the back? Looks like the people behind her are desperately trying to look away.
      I always think of the chairs when I see celebrities in those types of outfits…

  5. The Other Pinky says:

    What? Wasn’t she just 3 months ago crying on the radio about how she doesn’t know how she will manage without Safaree. And going on about how she hasn’t been single since she was like 14. Disaster alert.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      Looks like she found a way to soldier on. Subtlety, thy name is not Minaj.

  6. sali says:

    What’s with the pointy devilish nails?

  7. Dawn says:

    The ring looks fake and her nails are awful. That’s all I have.

  8. maeliz says:

    Looks like it’s from Claire’s. Lady Gagas is pretty

    • GlimmerBunny says:

      I think Gaga’s is pretty too. Not my personal taste but a truly gorgeous diamond.

    • Meaghan says:

      I like GAGA’s too! I didn’t realize there was so much hate towards it, I Think its beautiful. And it looks NOTHING like this one. I’m surprised it wasn’t a pink diamond, that would seem more her style.

  9. TeaAndSympathy says:

    Really? $500 000? I saw a very similar one in Diva (or was it Lovisa?) on Saturday for $AU29.95.

    The nails, that RW&B mesh bag… Tack. I get it’s her shtick, so I guess the ring fits right in.

  10. Naddie says:

    Even a relationship looks cheap on her.

  11. bella says:

    well…hmmm…where to begin…
    not usually a good idea to get engaged a few short months after a very long, intense relationship.
    apparently, she LOVES her ring, so SHE must think it’s gorgeous…
    not my style, but i’m sure NM doesn’t care what my style is.
    whenever 2 come together to plan a marriage, i always wish them the best.
    breakups and heartache suck…

    • Meaghan says:

      I think this quick engagement screams FU to her ex. They were together 14 years!

      The ring does look her style, but I said above I’m surprised its not pink.

  12. Carmen says:

    I don’t mind the ring but the claws are something else.

  13. Loopy says:

    It always boggles me how someone can be in a relationship for like ten years, break up and then overnight marry someone else.

  14. Marshmellow says:

    Some sites are saying she’s pregnant. If thats true, that could explain the quick engagement…

  15. funcakes says:

    Translation: This new person means nothing to her. Someone must have a new piece so therefore must prove they have moved on.
    This will be over as soon as new person cheats if their not doing so right now.

  16. Darkladi says:

    Nicki: I’m all up on some dumb shit
    Everyone looking at that ring: You sure are.

  17. The Original Mia says:

    Isn’t Lady Gaga’s ring heart-shaped? Wasn’t J-Lo’s? I’ll take theirs any day over Aniston’s cloudy rock.

    • sandy says:

      Angie fans can wiggle Aniston attacks everywhere!

      • The Original Mia says:

        Me not liking Jen’s ring has absolutely nothing to do with Angelina and everything to do with the fact that her ring looks like a chunk of cloudy glass.

  18. jaye says:

    I guess I’m the only one, but I actually like the ring.

  19. dottie says:

    $500,000 for something that looks like costume jewelry?

  20. Suzy from Ontario says:

    I guess I wouldn’t be a very good rich person because I really dislike those big giant diamond rings so many buy for engagement rings. They look like something out of a candy machine…so fake! Give me a diamond that like 1 carat or 2 at the most. They look more than big enough imo! Ones like this don’t even look real, so they don’t impress me at all. Plus who wants to wear a giant ring like that all the time?! And those nails!?! I couldn’t do anything if I had nails like that!

  21. MourningTheDeathOfMusic says:

    Aside from the heart shape, Gaga and Nicki’s rings have nothing in common. I actually find Gaga’s on the tasteful side, which is a shock considering the owner.

    Nicki’s is just too much for my personal liking, but then again, I like understated pieces.
