The Young Money star revealed that Rihanna swept him off his feet when he was first finding fame - then broke his heart when she ended it.
Admitting he thought it was more than the fling she saw it as, he still defends her - insisting that the superstar never meant to hurt him as much as she did.
“At the time it hurt, but she didn’t mean to,' he insisted to Elle magazine.
'I’ll never put that on her. I was hurt because I slowly started to realise what it was.
“I guess I thought it was more.'
He had a far bigger bombshell for fans when asked about colourful singer Minaj, however.
Of a faux Twitter marriage he had with her, he said: “I don’t know if we were really pretending.
'I’d marry Nicki.
'I think Nicki would be one of the only people that would understand me at the end of all of this and be able to love me.”
