While Beyonce and Jay Z may be the king and queen of hip hop, these two have no interest in playing politics.

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill revealed what it is like to be the most controversial couple in hip hop who have no fear about burning a few bridges as their love explodes.

The pair - who have denied getting engaged despite the singer rocking a ring on that finger since April - star in their first photo shoot together in the newest edition of GQ.

Rebels in love: Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill revealed what it is like to be the most controversial couple in hip hop in their first ever shoot together for GQ

* PRICES MAY NOT BE AS ADVERTISED

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT FOR LESS

With these two surprises are almost guaranteed, but a very candid Nicki certainly had a few up her sleeve admitting she fell for Meek when he was in jail last year and that when it comes to boyfriends she is not that experienced.

Meek says he courted Nicki for a year but only after she split with ex Safaree Samuels did she finally reach out to him - problem was he was headed to jail from violating his parole.

Nicki said: 'He was on my mind the day before, because I saw him going off on Twitter, and I was like, ''Oh man, he needs somebody to, like, make him feel good right now.'' So when I heard he went to jail I was really disappointed. I reached out to his people like, ''Yo, let him know I'm praying for him to come home.'' And they told him, and he asked them to call me for him.

Watch this on The Scene.

'I remember sitting on my balcony at my house and just being on the phone with him until it started getting dark outside. And I was just like, ''Yo, I'm in trouble.''' I just knew that first day. It was that long conversation. I was like ''Uh-oh.'''

Meek for his part refuses to say how he won the heart of many men's dream girls expect to say all he did was be himself.

While many think that their relationship may be just for publicity, Nicki says this is far from the case, it is more that Meek came at a time she was ready to not hide her love life from anyone anymore.

No more hiding: The singer was in a relationship for a decade with Safaree Samuels (pictured 2013) but always claimed they just worked together

'When I came in the business, you couldn't tell people you were in a relationship, because record company and management said that doesn't make you appealing to men. So don't tell people you're in a relationship. So after you do that for ten years it becomes something you feel like you have to do. It's difficult to break out of that box. So I just vowed to myself, ''Look, I'm about to put out a new album, I don't care anymore.'''

It is this image of Nicki as a man eater that is in stark contrast to the fact that went it comes to love, she is rather inexperienced.

This is why her mom gave Meek the third degree at first, the 32-year-old said: 'She's overprotective of her daughter.

'Another thing people don't realize is I've only had three boyfriends in my whole life. I've never dated around.

'This is a big step, because they've only known one thing for over a decade. Even my pastor, who's like a second mother, was scared. Everybody was just scared. Those women were scared for me because when I love someone I really let them in, and I really let me guard down.'

The rapper says while they may be in public eye they just want to support each other and try to be as normal as possible.

'I definitely think we have a normal relationship off-camera. We're like any other couple in the hood. We're growing as a couple and as people and as human beings, but we still have our careers. And I think probably the only thing that makes it un-normal is that we're both successful artists, and that's probably not normal.'

The Anaconda star told the magazine that it is her success that has stood in the way of love before but that's one of the reasons Meek is for her.

By her side: The hitmaker says her new beau is special as he supports her 'as an artist and just as a woman'

'People tell me all the time, it takes a special kind of man to be with a woman who has her own, and it takes a special kind of man to not feel insecure by a woman who is doing her own thing. You know? So, one of the things that made me want to be with him is we spent so much time talking, and he always made me feel like he was ok with me being me. As an artist and just as a woman.'

The pair are currently on tour with each other, which Meek loves, 'it's a new experience hustling with my girl'.

But it is this tour that Nicki's pal and now Meek's enemy Drake name checked in his diss rap Charged Up, which he wrote after Meek accused him of using a ghost writer.

Something Meek says he did on his own: 'I'm separate from that. I just wild out. She likes none of that s**t. No matter who I'm talking to.'

Complications: The star has long had a friendship and professional relationship with Drake (pictured 2012) but now Meek is embroiled in a feud with him

Fight club: For her part, Nicki has her own beefs going on, first she had a Twitter war with Taylor Swift when she missed out on a MTV VMA for Anaconda and then a fight with Miley Cyrus after she commented on the original Twitter war. She fixed things up with Taylor to perform at the VMAs last month

But the female rapper tolerates her partner's beef: 'That's the thing people don't understand. Meek is a grown ass man. I may not agree with everything he says.'

For her part, Nicki has her own beefs going on, first she had a Twitter war with Taylor Swift when she missed out on a MTV VMA for Anaconda and then a fight with Miley Cyrus after she commented on the original Twitter war.

'I'm very happy I tweeted about the VMAs, because Anaconda had too much of a cultural impact to not be up. Taylor Swift called and we're good now. She didn't see the bigger picture. We talked. We got over it.'

Should Drake expect a similar call - probably not - with Meek ending the discussion: 'And of course you know Meek Mill don't regret nothing.'
