DJ Khaled is putting his heart on the line -- all in the name of Nicki
Minaj** ! While at MTV News on Thursday, July 25, the 37-year-old
recorded a special video message to the "Super Bass" singer,
confessing his major crush on her.
"Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV, I'm going to be honest with you; I love you.
I like you, I want you, I want you to be mine," he said in the video.
"Only reason I'm not telling you this face to face is because I
understand that you're busy."
He continued, "I feel like you need a man like me in your life … we
got the same symptoms, we're both suffering from success. [If] you
gotta take your time and think about it, I understand, but I know I
have to be here today to let you know how serious I am and how
serious this is to me."
The hip hop star finished the video with a very public, if not
romantic, proposal: "Nicki Minaj, will you marry me?" he asked,
flashing a reported $500,000 10-carat ring for the singer.
While Minaj, 30, hasn't responded to the proposal yet, he told Us
Weekly exclusively at a screening of Magic City for friend, rapper
Rick Ross , on Friday, July 26, at Eventi Hotel in N.Y.C. that he was
100 percent serious in the video.
"I want to marry her! I was serious," he told Us , adding that he
hopes to hear from the former American Idol judge soon. "She can
take her time and think about it. At least she knows how I feel now."
On July 26, Khaled posted a screenshot via Instagram of Minaj from
his "Take It To The Head" video and captioned the pic, "Beautiful."
Khaled's upcoming new album, Suffering From Success , is due at the
end of September.
