Nicki Minaj and Nas have called it quits, according to insiders who say that living in separate cities proved too challenging for the power couple.

TMZ reports that the relationship came to a close amicably, but that the rap superstars will not be hanging out as friends. Nevertheless, the two are still following each other on Instagram as of press time.

The hip-hop power couple started dating at some point last year. In May, Nicki opened up about “sleepovers” with the New York icon and they celebrated Esco’s birthday together in September. That same month, they linked up for an ’80s-inspired photo shoot.

It seemed like the relationship was still going strong last month, when Nasty Nas celebrated Nicki as a “queen” in honor of her birthday. “Happy Birthday To The QUEEN OF NY / HIP HOP @nickiminaj,” he wrote.

Now, the multifaceted stars are set to continue their various solo projects. Nicki is currently crafting her next album, while Nas is set to focus on his Sweet Chick restaurant empire. He is also expected to release a long-awaited solo album at some point this year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
