Nicki Minaj and her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels have been all over the headlines in recent days, following Nicki’s Funk Flex interview and both parties’ subsequent tweetstorms. But the ex-couple has a very long history, and this is far from their first public confrontation.
Nicki’s then-boyfriend Safaree turned out to be the latter after he revealed to hosts of Easily Offended that not only was he hurt by it, but never saw it coming while he was on set for the video. Not that he could have either, considering that he said it went down behind his back, too.
The “Hunnid” rapper sat down with the podcast’s trio to discuss the steamy moment between his former fiancée and Escobar.
“You want to know what’s so crazy?” he asked. “I didn’t know it happened until the video came out…. I ain’t gonna lie— I was hurt.”
DJ and photographer Neil Grant (a.k.a. the man who took these photos) plays a song of Nicki’s for Bow-legged Lou of Full Force. Lou is impressed and meets the young rapper soon thereafter.
“Even when she first came to my house in Brooklyn, she was doing her dialects back then—her English dialect,” Lou later told the New York Post. So Lou decides to team her up with his son Lou$tar and another rapper named Svn-Up—and, shortly thereafter, Lou$tar’s high school friend, Safaree Samuels, who rapped under the name “SB.”
Safaree said he was on set for the video shoot the entire day, and the kiss must have happened the minute he stepped out for about an hour. He said that afterward, when the video had already premiered, she mentioned it slightly. However, he didn’t seem to know that the situation she was referring to went to such an extent.
Even though he still seems to be bothered by it years later, hopefully Safaree is continuing to move forward in his career sans Nicki controversies.
