early life
The famous Jamaican-American rapper and songwriter Safaree Lloyd Samuels was born in the bustling city of Brooklyn, New York on July 4, 1981. He grew up in a loving family environment and grew up in Midwood along with his two siblings, the lovely Shamika Samuels and Samantha Samuels.
While Safaree’s mother, Shirley Samuels, was an important figure in Safaree’s life growing up, his father is a wealthy businessman who prefers to keep a low profile in the media.
Growing up in vibrant Brooklyn, he had a childhood filled with laughter, excitement, and joy, playing in local parks with his siblings, exploring the neighborhood’s bustling streets, and going to school together.
The bond between Safaree and his siblings is unbreakable and they often share special moments and make unforgettable memories together. Their parents are proud to watch the three siblings grow up in harmony, each with their own unique characteristics.

In 2019, Safaree married beautiful TV personality, model and actress Erica Mena in a grand wedding. The newlyweds welcomed their first child, a son named Legend Bryan Samuels, in February 2020 and announced that they were expecting their second child later that same year. The arrival of their daughter Safaree Majesty Samuels brought more joy and happiness to the family.
Sadly, the couple’s happy marriage came to an abrupt end when Erica Mena filed for divorce in June 2020, before the birth of their second child. Despite the heartbreaking news, Safaree has moved on and is now dating stunning model Kimbella Matos, showing that he is ready for the next chapter in his life.
