Nicki Minaj has laughed off reports that she and Rihanna are living together.

The rapper told Ryan Seacrest's radio show, which airs weekday mornings on KIIS-FM, that some people didn't realise the pair were only joking when they had a Twitter conversation about sharing a home.

"We just shot the video for a song I have on the album called 'Fly'," she explained. "When I saw her I said, 'So, do you hear we're living together?' We started cracking up laughing. She was like, 'I can't believe people are this ridiculous!'"

The Pink Friday star went on to say that the "random rumour" prompted the singers to post a joke message online about their "new crib" earlier this week.

"The funny thing is some people still didn't realise we were joking," she continued. "People were like, 'Oh my God, you're so lucky! You and Rihanna living together!' You can't even be sarcastic anymore, it's hilarious!"

However, she admitted that there was always a "possibility" of the duo becoming housemates in the future. "She is a badass," she added. "You never know!"

Minaj previously described 'Fly' - which appears on her platinum debut Pink Friday - as an "empowering" collaboration between the pair, saying that it encourages women to "soar high in the face of adversity".
