Nicki Minaj and Drake dating rumors are on the rise again as photos are revealed from Nicki's upcoming music video for "Anaconda." The photos in question show her giving Drake a very provocative lap dance.

Yesterday, Nicki Minaj and Drake fans were equally excited as Instagram photos revealed the pair engaged in quite a few risqué positions. Nicki Minaj appears to be giving Drake a very exciting lap dance. Drake is reported by Gawker to have reposted some of the photos on his own Instagram and stated that "Nicki putting her hand on his crotch made his 'anaconda' go 'way up'."

The natural response from fans of course was to begin to speculate about the pair's relationship. According to Hollywood Life, the two have long denied ever dating, but Drake did admit on his song "Miss Me" that he's at least open to the idea of marrying Nicki, "just to say we f-ing did it."

In regards to "Anaconda," the buzz first began when Nicki revealed the album cover art of her much talked about "assets" as she sported a thong and bikini top. Soon thereafter a lyric video was released for the song that MTV Music writer John Walker expressed excitement over, due to the references to Mystery Science Theater 3000.

On top of this, Miley Cyrus also caused some buzz for the song when she tweeted a photo entitled "Hannahconda," where she more imitated Nicki Minaj's original album art by posing in the exact same outfit and position. Nicki's response was not very supportive as she posted another photo of Miley with the caption, "give me one good reason why Miley made this her twitter avi. #AnacondaOniTunes."

The full music video for "Anaconda" will be released on Wednesday, August 20th. Nicki Minaj is also set to perform the song for the first time this Sunday at the MTV Music Video Awards Show.
