During her highly anticipated Pink Friday 2 Tour, music icon Nicki Minaj made headlines as she seemingly addressed her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels in a surprising turn of events.
On October 8, 2024, after the Miami stop for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, Minaj took to her StationHead account and referred to the surprise attendee at her concert. Although Minaj did not name Safaree Samuels while addressing her fans, the rapper suggested that negative karma will only intensify if the disrespect continues and, therefore, requests to be left alone
"Y'all karma is about to be bad if you've been disrespecting Nicki and the Barbz. However, it's going to get even worse, so please leave us alone," Minaj stated.
Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels first met in Queens, New York, in 2000, sparking rumors of a romantic relationship. However, by 2011, reports indicated that their relationship had begun to strain, with Minaj reportedly showing frustration with Samuels in public, according to Hot New Hip Hop.
The two ultimately parted ways in 2014 after 14 years together, yet neither publicly addressed the reasons for their breakup, leaving fans to speculate.
