Rapper Nicki Minaj has been going viral for the past few days, with fans coming to her defense, after her ex-boyfriend, Safaree Samuels attends her Miami tour. Safaree had previously joked about attending one of Minaj’s concerts. Videos surfaced on social media after the show and captured the fellow artist having a great time, excitedly rapping along to some of the Queens rapper’s hits. Safaree was sporting a denim vest
and matching jeans, sunglasses, and a drink in his hand.
“I’m proud no cap… a lot of y’all will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud,” the father of two tweeted following the show. Nicki Minaj and Safaree were once the “hottest” couple in Hollywood, however, their breakup affected their professional and personal life. They were aspiring rappers who both shared a mutual passion for Hip Hop. Prior to their professional journey together that kicked off a few years after they met, the pair started dating. Their partnership would eventually last for over a decade.
Nicki Minaj is currently married to her childhood sweetheart, Kenneth Petty while Safaree has two children with ex-wife Erica Mena. After the pair broke up in 2014, more than a decade after they met, Safaree claimed he had played a huge role in Minaj’s career. He claimed he wrote most of her songs, something she has been disputing. Minaj fired back, claiming Safaree was simply trying to tear her down.
Following Safaree attending Nicki’s Miami tour, fans seem to be divided, with most questioning his intentions. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “No MALICE? You went on a whole press tour spreading lies about you writing for her… what you’re doing is stalk-ish and obsessive.” Despite his statement, many fans continue to reference the former couple’s turbulent breakup, with some criticizing his past behavior towards the rapper. There were other users who came to his defense and echoed his sentiment. “I love the fact he doesn’t let his ‘hatred’ towards his ex hold him back from giving Nicki Minaj her flowers. Maturity is real,” one person wrote.
