Kate Upton Loves Nicki Minaj

Model Kate Upton shared her love of a certain Young Money rapstress in a recent interview with Global Grind. Upton says her tastes are pretty middle-of-the-road, but she has a soft spot for Nicki Minaj.

"I love Nicki Minaj and I'm just obsessed with her. Let me look in my iPod. I like New Boyz "You Look Better With The Lights Off," I don't know what's the obsession with that one. I just really love anything that's on Top 40."

Upton also addressed those pesky Kanye rumors from earlier in the year.

"I know Kanye and we're friends. So I think that was a fine situation because I could laugh it off," Upton says. "But it doesn't really affect me. I just try to ignore it and then it's over."

Kate Upton Isn't Kanye's Mystery Girl

After photos surfaced of rap superstar Kanye West tonguing down a blonde hottie in France, rumors began to fly back and forth as to who the chick actually was. Most people speculated that it was model Kate Upton, who has been linked with West before. For her part, the sexy 18-year-old has denied being the mystery woman in the photos.

"Such a great week in LA now back to New York... No Cannes for me," she tweeted Monday. "Hey I said I wasnt in Cannes come on that girl doesn't even look like me... I'm not with Kanye."
