Actress Amanda Bynes has denied reports she is dating Kid Cudi, insisting the pair is "just friends".

The Hairspray star has been cozying up to the Day 'n' Nite hit-maker in recent weeks, according to the New York Daily News. The publication claims Bynes is not ready to go public with the relationship yet - despite the rapper bragging to pals last week that he is dating the 23 year old.

However, the actress' representative has dismissed the claims, insisting Bynes is "just friends" with the star.

Bynes has previously dated Paris Hilton's on-off boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt.
