Safaree admitted he was hurt when he witnessed the on-screen kiss between ex-lover Nicki Minaj and Nas
Safare has disclosed that he felt depressed after witnessing a sensuаl on-screen exchange between Nas and his former partner, Nicki Minaj.
Nicki released the music video for “Right By My Side,” a song she co-wrote with Chris Brown from Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, in 2012. Nas played Nicki Minaj’s romantic interest in the video, and the Queens natives are seen famously sharing a kiss.
After watching the footage more than ten years later, Samuels has acknowledged that he felt uncomfortable during the close encounter.
Do you want to know what’s so absurd? In an interview with Keep that A Stack Podcast, he said, “I didn’t know it happened until the video came out.” “I was hurt, N-gga. I was hurt when that thing happened.
“Since I had spent the entire day there, I thought, ‘Dаmn. Did that occur when I departed? I believe that scene occurred after I had left for maybe an hour or two.
Claims that Nicki Minaj and Nas were dating erupted in 2017 after they were spotted cuddling at his Sweet Chick eatery in New York City.
Before before, a video showing Nas kissing and licking Nicki’s face at his 44th birthday celebration went viral.
Later, the “FTCU” rhymer said that although she and Nas had sleepovers, they hadn’t done anything “nasty” in an interview with daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
After less than a year of dating, the pair reportedly broke up in early 2018, with distance being given as the cause.
Safaree and Nicki Minaj, meantime, dated from 2000 until their turbulent breakup in 2014. The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star is said to have contributed to multiple albums by the Young Money hitmaker, including Pink Friday, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, and The Pinkprint, during their nearly 15-year partnership.
Safaree even thought about suing Nicki in 2015, claiming he should have received royalties for his contributions to these projects.
Safaree, who formerly held Nicki Minaj’s ex-husband Meek Mill responsible for their breakup, has continuously hailed the Queen rapper as one of his greatest colleagues despite their tumultuous breakup.
The Brooklyn native denied accusations that she ghostwrote Nicki’s songs during their relationship in an interview with The Breakfast Club from January 2015. She also expressed gratitude for getting to meet her.
He said at the time on Twitter (now X), “I wanna sаy 1 thing cuz ppl like to take bs and run with it.” “I want people to know that Nicki is the most talented person I know, and she was the best thing that ever happened to me. I apologize if anything I said in my interview came across as disrespectful toward her, and I never claimed to have written her raps.”
Since then, Safaree and Nicki Minaj have both relocated. In 2019, Samuels tied the knot with his Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta co-star Erica Mena. However, when expecting their second child, Mena filed for divorce two years later.
In October 2019, Nicki tied the knot with Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, and the following year, they had their baby, Papa Bear.
