Despite the rumors that have been going around for weeks, Meek Mill says he and Nicki Minaj are not engaged.

While speaking with Fader, Meek talked about his budding relationship with the Young Money barbie and put to rest the rumor of his engagement. "It’s definitely real," said Meek. "But it ain’t really time to get married yet. We’re still learning each other, feeling each other out.”

The rumors started after Nicki showed off a very large diamond ring via Instagram. Neither of the two rappers confirmed or denied an engagement prior to now. While in L.A. back in April for the cover story, T.I. bumped into the Philadelphia native and congratulated him on the engagement news. Meek reportedly quickly replied back "I ain’t engaged." Tip responded by stating, “You never asked her, ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’ But she is your girlfriend. You may not have asked her, ‘Will you marry me?’ But you are engaged.”

Meek also opens up about his sophomore LP, Dreams Worth More Than Money, deciding on the right single to put out first, his childhood, working with Rick Ross and much more.
