Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels definitely have a history of sorts. He has supposedly helped her in a big way over the years in terms of the behind-the-scenes work. Songwriting, producer, even executive producing - it seems like Samuels has done everything he can to help further Minaj's sound, but at the end of the day, doesn't seem to get the credit for it in the eyes of the public. Now, it seems that the rapper may have shouted out rap's Barbie during a recent live show, admitting how much he misses her.
The refrain that Safaree keeps repeating while on stage, "Somebody tell Nicki that I miss her," has been taken to mean one of two things: either Safaree was referring to Minaj, his old flame, or perhaps even Nikki Baby, the Love & Hip Hop star on VH1, who boasts over 3 million followers on Instagram alone. Either way, Safaree is definitely looking for a return shout-out from one of those famous women. Check out some footage from the concert in question below.
In other news on the Nicki Minaj front, she and rapper boyfriend Nas have supposedly called it quits. Citing the continued physical distance between them - living in different cities coupled with the strain of constant travelling for work-related purposes - the pair thought it was best to leave things on a good note and go out on top, as they say. Both should have even more time to focus on music from here on out, with anticipation running high that the rap duo will each be released their own new solo projects this year.
