Safaree Samuels Disses Ex-Girlfriend Nicki Minaj On Twitter After Azealia Banks’ Comment
Despite their 2014 break up, Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels remain at odds over several things including his hand in her music. The “No Frauds” rapper’s latest social media activity seems to have hit a soft spot with her former beau.
On Wednesday, Samuels subtly shaded his ex-girlfriend on Twitter after she liked a comment that dissed his writing abilities. “After all this time mentally you still do alot of things that show youre still bothered by me. its about to be 4yrs let it go. Im over it,” he tweeted.

The drama started on Thursday when Minaj liked a fan’s tweet that called out Safaree for lacking creativity. “Azealia confirms that while she wanted Safaree to write for her, it turns out she had to write for him because he didn’t have the ability,” the fan wrote.
Attached to the tweet, the fan included a paragraph from an interview Azealia Banks did with XXL magazine. In it, the artist revealed that she wanted to collaborate with Samuels on a song because she assumed he helped Minaj with her rap verses on some of her biggest hits and was eager to get in the studio with him.
However, when the two got together to work on a song, Banks admitted that Samuels didn’t add anything to her music like she expected. “It actually turned out [to be] me writing for him. So Safaree and I put this song together and I wrote a bunch of his part,” she explained.
Following Safaree’s comment, Minaj went on to like several other tweets calling her ex-boyfriend out for trying to diss the rapper. “You went on Wendy and did a whole interview about her but she bothered by you? Oh please,” one fan wrote.
“Every word that comes out of Saforehead’s mouth towards Nicki should be thank you. This woman took care of YOU!!!!” another fan wrote.
Although Minaj’s like of the tweet calling her ex-boyfriend out clearly upset him, the two previously admitted that they struggled after the breaking after dating for more than 10 years. In 2016, Minaj told Nylon that she was in a fragile state following the split.
“I needed time to hear myself think again,” she told the magazine, referring to her break up.
“Because where I left off with ‘The Pinkprint’ was a little bit emotionally unstable … Now, I want my happiness to be reflected in the new stuff,” the rapper added.
During a 2015 interview with NYC’s Power 105.1, Safaree told The Breakfast Club that he was the one who ended the romance because of Minaj’s behavior. “I walked away. I’m not going to say I broke up, but I’m the one who walked away. I packed up my stuff and I left,” he revealed.
“I just got to the point where the respect wasn’t there. Everyone around her works for her, you know? So it got to the point where it was like, I’m your man. I’m who you go to sleep with every night. I’m who you wake up with every morning. And it got to the point where I was being treated like an employee, instead of like her man,” Samuels explained.
Following the split, the two began to have issues with one another when Samuels alleged that he helped Minaj write her songs but she insisted that she wrote her own verses. During an appearance on the “Wendy Williams Show,” Samuels told the host that he was an integral part of Minaj’s writing process.

“It was a collaborative effort -- she doesn’t sit there and do absolutely nothing. I definitely was a helping force that had to do with creating music,” he said.
For now, it looks like the war has settled between the two, only time will tell if Minaj and Samuels will have more to say about one another.
