*Wendy Williams has wasted no time slamming rumors that she’s boo’d up with a new man.

We previously reported… the daytime talk show host was spotted out with jeweler William Selby for a dinner date in New York City on Friday night, and folks quickly assumed the two were dating.

“I had an interesting weekend,” Williams said on The Wendy Williams Show Monday, PEOPLE reports. “It was all innocent to me but apparently it caused waves everywhere else. All I’m doing is being Wendy. So I met this young man that I really like. Not in that way, I was setting you up with dramatic effect, he’s this rapper from Philly.”

“His name is Black Papi. He’s 27,” she said. “Now, I went to a studio session because he’s working on his album and he’s working on it in N.Y. Now, I don’t know Black Papi but I was going along for a ride on Friday night. So Black Papi, 27, he’s from from Philly. He got his mom on the FaceTime. His mom and I are the same age. She and I are talking like we’re two homegirls. … I told Papi, ‘Look, your weight is not quite up for the Wendy Show. But one day …’ “

“I was only at the studio for 35 minutes,” Williams continued. “I was with my friend, who is also my jeweler, Will. But and whatever, here is the big [scoop]. Will is my friend, he happens to be a jeweler. I’m one of his probably low-paying clients. I’m not buying jewelry all the time.”

Williams noted that Selby “fixes stuff, shines stuff, he’s made a couple of pieces for me.”

Selby is a New York City-based jeweler who has created pieces for artists such as Drake, 50 Cent and ASAP Ferg

“Will is involved with his family, he’s got a whole ‘nother life,” Williams said. “No, we did not plan to dress alike. A lot of you all said we looked like a couple. No, we’re not a couple. I got on a beige negligee and threw on that [coat]. It was cold out. And then we get in the studio and I put it on my ‘gram.”

“Yeah, we’re huddled like this in the studio because it’s freezing in there,” she added. “It’s like five degrees, it’s colder in there than it is in here. The studio is only about the size of my chair, you know. Papi’s in the other room, rapping. I’m sitting there huddled. Belly full from meatballs and all kinds of stuff we ate earlier. And next thing you know there’s accusations being thrown.”

At the end of her monologue, Williams insisted that Selby is just her “friend.”

“We are not a couple and I do not have a boyfriend,” she claimed. “That’s it. If I did, I wouldn’t have been out with Will.”

So there you have it!
