This ^^ is a photo of Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels from 2013. From what I gather, Safaree and Minaj were a thing around that time, although whatever it was, it was somewhat short-lived. Safaree always held a candle for her, even during the years she was with Meek Mill. Meek and Nicki dated and broke up and went through that cycle for a bit, before she dumped him for good at the end of last year. Even when there were just rumors swirling about the split, Safaree was already giving interviews about how Nicki should dump Meek because Meek has no game (that’s the truth) and that Nicki should come back to him, Safaree. That’s the backstory as I know it, although I’m sure there are a million additional twists and turns, as there always are with anything involving Nicki Minaj.
So, Safaree and Meek didn’t like each other. Their dislike was probably about Nicki, but my guess is that they had beefs beyond Minaj. Whatever happened between them took turn for the worse on Friday, when Meek’s crew “jumped” Safaree at a pre-BET party in West Hollywood. There’s footage of it too – it looks like Meek gets out of an SUV, barely acknowledges Safaree with a look and then some of Meek’s henchmen seemingly come out of nowhere and begin chasing down Safaree, who really does start running down the road like his life depends on it. Here’s the video – Safaree is in all-white, and he’s already on the sidewalk. Meek is in all-black and he gets out of the black SUV.

Here’s a different angle, where you can clearly see two guys man-handling/assaulting Safaree and one of Safaree’s people.

Safaree is fine, by the way. He did a Snapchat or video something after he was assaulted, calling out Meek Mill for being a “bitch-ass” and more – go here to see the video, which is NSFW because of language. Basically, Safaree thinks Meek Mill is a weak punk for sending his people to beat up Safaree rather than doing it himself. Safaree is basically like, come at me, bro. If you want to throw down, we’ll throw down, one on one.
As always, the best part of this story was Black Twitter’s reaction to it.
Meek Mill and his goons jumped Quentin Miller, 50 year old sick Beanie Sigel, and Safaree ….

That’s messed up! Why?
I don’t know what she ever saw in Meek Mill.
Just one correction. Safaree and Nik were together over a decade. As with many pop stars/sex symbols they chose not to discuss it but they got together when barely out of their teens and split up in her 30s. She spoke openly about how long it was in her interview with Angie Martinez.
Safaree has also said that it was he that introduced Meek to Nicki for a collaboraton. Most of these guys used to approach Safaree first (almost like he was her manager) and he would vet who was worth talking to. That’s why he was so bItter that Meek replaced him and started talking crap about Meek who is a convicted criminal with a known gang affiliates. And just to be clear Safaree also acknowledges cheating on Nik the whole time they were together but thought it was fair to attack her for dating Meek because he made the introduction.
I guess I’m just saying that Safaree is a sleazy hypocrit who picked the wrong fight and Meek is a violent thug who needs to get some perspective and Nicki has a bad picker
Which interviews have you been watching bec this is the first time I’m hearing this story about Safaree supposedly confessing to cheating on Nicki for the entire 16 years?
That just isn’t so
He admitted multiple times during his post SHether press tour which included a bunch of rinky dink youtube channels because attention is attention. Usually couched in the “Men sometimes fall but she still did me wrong” and in one the interviewer even asked him if he paid for his jumpoffs with her money and then they had a hearty manly laugh about that one.
Since I have better things to do today than watch that corny brothas old interviews to link for you. Let me present you with the lyrics off his dis song at her (Love The Most). It details their entire relationship until this point …
“Life revolves around a B- , show me a man that won’t cheat”.
Edited to add that a youtube search on that song turned up a quick TMZ interview that illustrates my point. Its titled “Safaree Sameuls – Check your facts Nicki…you cheated TOO”. Check for “I am not perfect” at 0:44 even as he spends a lyric in that song moaning because she kissed Nas for a music video.
Will Meek jump Nas next?
That would be begging for death. I dont know how deep Nas rolls but he is beloved which means lots of NYC bangers would make it a mission to end Meek permanently.
And Meek lied and said he wasnt even there when Safaree got jumped.. but there’s the videos of him there.
This Milling Meek Milk of a person, he’s quite the loser. No wonder The Game went off on him and blasted his a$$ like it was personal!
I dislike macho posers who cowardly send their jobless and foolish hanger-on’s to do their dirty work
If you know anything about these two you know they are both losers.
The headline names sound like cartoon characters.
These are adults? Omg
Weren’t Safaree and Nicki together for like a decade? I thought I remembered “who’s her mystery man?” pieces from when she first started getting popular.
“As always, the best part of this story was Black Twitter’s reaction to it.”
As always, indeed.
I read about this on The Shade Room’s instagram and I had no idea who they were. The guys. Not Nicki.
How can you be on the shade room and not know who Meek and Safaree are? They’re posted about all the time.
Btw safaree and Nicki were together for years
I don’t know who a few of the people are that The Shade Room posts about on instagram but I do enjoy reading about the people I do know. This beef sounds good though so I should get caught up on it.
But why is he wearing a shirt that looks like an unbuttoned baby onesie?
Safaree is quite a fast runner.
Meek millls face when he got out of the car could not have been more obvious. I can’t believe he initially tried to say he wasn’t there. Isn’t Meek on parole?
