Rihanna and Nicki Minaj’s double date night with A$AP Rocky and Kenneth Petty

Rihanna and Nicki Minaj are in bestie mode.

Minaj, 38, shared several snaps of herself with Rihanna, 33, enjoying what looked like a double date night with their respective men, Kenneth Petty and A$AP Rocky.

They were also joined by Minaj and Petty’s soon-to-be one year old son, whose name still hasn’t been revealed. Minaj has affectionately referred to her baby boy as “Papa Bear” on several occasions.

“#RokNRiha#QueenRih#CaribbeanGirlsRunit Love her downnnnnnn #NewYorkS–t#YKTFV,” Minaj captioned a group pic of all five of them cozied on a small couch together.

It’s unclear exactly when the date night happened because Minaj was posting photos of herself, Petty and their son in the same outfits three days earlier.

The “Anaconda” rapper also uploaded a selfie-style video of her and Rihanna blowing kisses and fixing their hair.

At one point in the video, Rihanna dropped some island tea by revealing that the people of Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, where the girls are individually from, historically don’t get along.

“You know Bajans don’t like Trinis?” Rihanna asked, to which Minaj audibly gasped. “And Trinis don’t like Bajans. They draw a line in the ocean over flying fish.”

Rihanna promised to explain more about the feuding islands to Minaj “another night.” Hopefully the pair share more content together whenever that night happens.

Earlier this year Rihanna was crowned a billionaire and named the richest female musician with a net worth estimated at $1.7 billion, according to Forbes.

Interestingly, most of Rihanna’s fortune comes from her Fenty Beauty business — not her endless chart-topping hits. According to Shannon Coyne, co-founder of consumer products consultancy Bluestock Advisors, that’s due in large part to Savage x Fenty’s focus on inclusivity.

“A lot of women felt there were no lines out there that catered to their skin tone. It was light, medium, medium dark, dark,” Coyne explained to Forbes. “We all know that’s not reality.”

“[Rihanna] was one of the first brands that came out and said, ‘I want to speak to all of those different people.’”
