Nicki Minaj's ex Safaree says, in crazy Twitter war of words, that she stabbed him
Nicki Minaj‘s new album, Queen, is resurfacing old drama with her ex-boyfriend, Safaree Samuels.
The songstress gave a dishy interview to Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex on Monday in which her ex’s name came up and she went off. Today, that drama spilled over to Twitter, where the situation escalated and Samuels made accusations that Minaj once tried to kill him. She fought back by claiming she bought him hair plugs, but they fell out “cuz GOD DONT LIKE UGLY!!!!!!”
It started with a few tweets from Samuels, defending himself against Minaj’s claims that he used her credit card without her permission and slept with prostitutes while they were together.
Unless I really cared still I could not let the mention of someone's name get me that riled up. That looks like some1 who either stlll cares or just holding on to a lot of hate towards someone. How many times have I said I never wrote ur raps? Nobody even talks about that anymore

You hold on to everything. your problem with Dj self is because me and him are so cool and nothing else. You have a problem with mona Scott because she put me on the show. let all that ish go. And now I stole your card? The 1 you gave me he pin for and had me doing ish with?

Towards the end it got toxic and I just packed up and left. I did things for spite and so did you. I don't wish you bad and I don't want us back together just like I'm sure you don't. I don't need you you don't need me but we will always be linked in the public no matter what.

Samuels, who is also a rapper (getting his start with the group Hoodstars and later as Minaj’s hype man), then escalated the situation with the claim that Minaj once stabbed him. He tweeted, “I almost died” and said paramedics and the police had to transport him during the alleged domestic violence incident. He said he had to “lie” to police and tell them “I was trying to kill myself” so that Minaj wouldn’t be arrested. He also alludes to the fact that this wasn’t an isolated incident.
Remember the night you cut me and i almost died the police and ambulance had to take me out the crib on a stretcher and I had to lie and tell them I was trying to kill myself so they wouldn't take you to jail. When things like that start happening more Than once it's time to dip.

A few minutes later, Minaj addressed the credit card, specifically, and then talked about his lies, in general.

Any response he had to that was silenced by Minaj’s accusations that she paid for his hair transplant. She said that it cost $10,000 and says he went to “the same doctor” that rapper and Kylie Jenner‘s ex Tyga had gone to.
I should’ve never paid for that gyatDamn hairline!!!! It fell back out cuz God don’t like ugly!!!! You used me but God had other plans!!!!!

This is a reference to the price, $10,000.

And then there was this:
Her ex didn’t deny having the hair transplant. Samuels said he and Tyga had different hair transplant doctors.
1st off Me and tyga didn’t go to the same dr. We did it the same day. Diff doctors . Listen I don’t know if this has to do with 1st week sales but you need to finish your zen. And don’t talk about vh1 checks cuz the way you’re acting it’s like your auditioning to be on LHH

He also didn’t deny the nude photo.
At least y’all know I was trying to keep my nudes to myself now. Some1 was trying to leak my di%^ pic for years and ive been trying to stop it forever. But is this suppose to be your promo run? I’m flattered that you feel talking about me can help. I can’t believe ur still mad.

By the end of the spree, when Minaj declared she would no longer be discussing it on social media (she’ll be saving it for her new Queen Radio show on Beats 1 radio), not only was Safaree trending, but so was Tyga.
Tyga minding his business making the same song for the 100th time not bothering anybody. Now his hairline out the closet. Damn

Minaj’s album has been out for just four days, meaning this feud is far from over — though we assume she’ll reign supreme in having the last word.
