Nicki Minaj summed up her romance with Meek Mill as “toxic.”

In a preview of her upcoming appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which returns Sept. 4, Minaj gets grilled on her love life with with rappers Nas, Drake and Mill.

“No, I didn’t say I was with Nas. I said I hung out with him. And he and I are still good friends,” she said. “I was in a relationship with Meek for a while, and it was a very toxic something, but we had some good times and we ended that.”

She added, “I’ve never been in a relationship with Drake.”

Minaj played coy about an anonymous “newer new boy,” who has “been around for a couple weeks now,” but it’s not very serious and the hip-hop star made it clear she’s enjoying the single life.

“But I don’t have a boy. Look, I’m just chilling. I’ve always been in a relationship my whole life. This is the first time that I’m single, and I’m happier, I’m more free,” she said. “I used to feel like I had to have a man, and I want every woman out here to know, you absolutely don’t.”

Ellen, who is one of Hollywood’s most famous gay women and married to Portia de Rossi, of course agreed.

“Amen sister,” Ellen said. “I want women to know also, you don’t need a man.”
