One person who is most hurt about Drake and Rihanna's recent split is rapper Nicki Minaj. The "Anaconda" singer is reportedly furious that Rihanna has broken her pal Drake's heart and she is planning to call out the "Diamonds" singer about him, new reports are suggesting.

"Drake has been really down since Rihanna dumped him. She really broke his heart. Nicki wants to call Rihanna out on it. She's very protective of Drake," a source close to Nicki revealed to OK magazine. The real reason for Drake and Rihanna split is unknown but there is speculation in the media that Rihanna is not looking for commitment yet in a relationship.

Nicki is also upset with Rihanna because she has a soft corner for Drake and revealed in one of the interviews that she would love to "run away" with Drake and get married to him. However, she also admitted that it is just a fantasy for her as the feeling might not be same from Drake.

Nicki and Rihanna have been friends for a long time but currently the two are not at good terms with each other because of Drake, various Web sites are reporting. Meanwhile Nicki is busy promoting her new single "Anaconda" on her Instagram profile. The 31-year-old released a thong-clad picture of herself on her social media profile where she is put her bums on full public display.
