Carmen Bryan had a curious response to followers on social media getting her take on a possible courtship between her baby daddy Nas and Nicki Minaj. "Relieved," she replied to one Instagram user who asked. "I didn't think my baby father still dated women."

Nicki and Nasir got a buzz going last week when the Young Money rap star posted a photo of herself nestled in the Queensbridge legend's arm as they dined together in New York City. "Only KINGS recognize QUEENS," she captioned the photo, with a congratulatory note on the launching of his Sweet Chick restaurant on Ludlow street. While the photo likely captured the physical camaraderie of hometown friends, many took the image and ran with it, leading to the rumor of a brewing romance.

While Nas and Carmen remain linked by their 22-year-old daughter Destiny, they have long strayed apart, and the bitter episodes of infidelity and discord that brought their relationship to an end has been the subject of some of hip hop's juiciest innuendo over the years. Thus, some read into her reaction suspecting there might have been an insult glaring from it. Her follow-up did little to clean such projections up, with Bryan then saying, "I'm used to Nas dating 19 yr olds, I'm actually glad to see him dating a woman!"
