Nicki Minaj says she is both single and not single.

The rap star made the primary affirmation on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Thursday, when the anchor person indicated out what showed up be a huge wedding band on Minaj’s finger.

“First of all, that’s not an engagement ring,” Minaj, 33, said. “I have two rings from this boy that likes me,” she said, referring to rapper boyfriend Meek Mill. “That’s not my engagement ring, though. He said . . . that if I get a third ring, that that would be the engagement ring.”

She also told DeGeneres said the social-media gossip “just made me realize that no matter what, no matter how great your life is, you can’t even impress people. You just have to . . . make yourself happy and forget about trying to get everyone’s approval. It’s better just to keep those things sacred. So now I don’t really care that they [say] I’m in a relationship or I’m engaged or whatever. There’s a boy that likes me. That’s all.”
