Safaree Samuels and Nicki Minaj’s relationship may have been over a long time ago, but that didn’t stop him from showing up at one of her tour stops and causing a scene.
The singer’s ex-boyfriend was spotted participating in Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 Tour on October 6 wearing a denim vest and matching pants.
According to one person on social media, Samuels even arrived at the event with security guards and was seen interacting with Minaj’s fans, named Barbz, while he was at the concert. This led to him allegedly being escorted off the show.
While it’s unclear whether Minaj noticed Samuels in the crowd, she did invite her husband Kenneth Petty on stage during her performance, which many assumed was a tease of Samuels and was performed as an act influenced by Samuels being in the audience. .
Now, many social media users have taken to the internet to express their shock that Samuels attended Minaj’s concert even though she and Samuels broke up in 2014 after 12 years together.
One internet user commented: “None of her exes leave her alone.”

“Can he let it go,” user X asked.
“He needs a storyline so bad. Such a shame,” another added.

After attending the concert and being dragged online by Minaj’s fans, Samuels issued his own statement on the matter.
āI am proud beyond measureā¦ many people will never understand but I have no maliceā¦ I am proud,ā he said via X.

It appears that Minaj and Samuels did not see each other around the time of the event, and no video evidence has surfaced to show or prove that they did.
Earlier this year, Samuels appeared in the magazine We are in Miami podcast to discuss his previous relationship with Minaj.
“I have the two greatest people in the world [Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill] against me. That turned everyone against me. No one wants to be next to me. No one wants to work with me. It just makes everything difficult. It was a dark time for me,” he said, noting that Minaj dated Meek after her relationship with Samuels ended.
After his relationship with Minaj ended, Samuels began broadcasting model Erica Mena. They got married in 2019 but divorced two years later. The former couple shares two children.
