Well, that was fast.

Hip-hop’s favorite e-spouses, Nicki Minaj and Drake, are no longer together. Only a day after announcing their union on the social-networking site, Minaj tweeted that she and Drizzy have called it quits.

“Dear Barbz, My husband Drake and I have decided to have our marriage annulled. We’ll maintain joint custody. Luv, HB,” the Young Money Barbie wrote on Saturday. When asked by Twitter fan MissBrownBear who they were sharing custody of, Minaj “All our SONS.”

Hip-hop fans began buzzing on Friday when both MCs wrote on their Twitter pages that they had wed.

“Please refer to @nickiminaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and dont stare at her too long. She’s finally mine. ,” Drake tweeted. Minaj also wrote “Yes, its true. Drake and I tied the knot.”

While the duo’s tweets made headlines, the missives were apparently just in good fun. Minaj’s announcement comes after reps for the artists denied that they had ever made it to the altar.

Regardless of their marital status, Minaj and Drake have always been tight. Last year, Minaj said that she and her Young Money labelmate are “super-close.”

“Before all of this started, I would tell him, ‘You’re a star.’ And he’d be like, ‘You’re a star.’ And we’d kinda been each other’s biggest fans,” Minaj told MTV News. “To see his dreams come into fruition, it makes me very happy.”

Earlier this year, Drake said on MTV2′s “Sucker Free Countdown” that

“I’ve always really, actually, really had a crush on her, always really loved her, and she’s always just looked at me as, like, her little brother.”

However, Minaj said that Drake was playing up their relationship for the entertainment factor and denied rumors that the MCs are more than just friends.

“Drake does not have a crush on me,” Minaj said later on “Sucker Free.” “Drake knows how to get you guys’ attention.”

Many fans were disappointed by Minaj’s announcement that she and Drizzy are not married. TreyGivesMePPP tweeted to the rapper, “barb you just broke my heart! DRICKI FOREVER!” fashioning catchy portmanteau for the duo.

But Minaj gently reminded her followers that they will have to share her eventually.
