“I had two of the biggest people in the world against me.”
Safaree recently appeared on the We In Miami podcast where he opened up about his past relationship with Nicki Minaj and her moving on to Meek Mill.
In the teaser for the episode, Safaree spoke on how the industry treated him after he split from Minaj and also how much of a “dark time” it was for him.
“When me and Nicki first broke up and she got with Meek, they were, like, the biggest in the world,” he began. “We was all beefing and sh*t. You gotta think about — I had two of the biggest people in the world against me. Nobody wanted to be next to me. Nobody wanted to work with me or none of that sh*t. So it just made everything hard and that sh*t that was a dark time for me.”

Speaking to the negative aftermath of his relationship with the Pink Friday 2 star, he went on, “I’m not even gonna sugarcoat sh*t.”
“I was with Nicki, we broke up,” he continued. “Her fans and certain people they just wanted it to be like, ‘Okay, they not together no more. F**k him, let it be nothing. Let him disintegrate, let him disappear, whatever.’”
“But nine, 10 years later — 10, 15 TV shows later, lot of music out later, doors up later — I’m still here. Some people don’t like that,” he said. “They’re like, ‘Damn, why are ni**as still paying attention to this ni**a?’”
Back in 2016, Safaree spoke with Rap-Up where he claimed that the Philadelphia rapper was part of the reason he and Minaj called it quits. “He definitely was a big part as to why me and Nicki broke up,” he said.
In the same year, Meek and Safaree also had it out on X (formerly Twitter) with a few subs.“You ever see a pic of some1 you use to deal with and wanna send that ‘wyd bighead’ text i hate yall #stuntgang,” Safaree kicked it off with a tweet seemingly about Minaj.
Moments after, Meek seemingly taunted Safaree on Snapchat by posting a picture of himself with a “Hey bighead” caption and a crying emoji. In response, the Love & Hip-Hop star wrote at the time, “i was jus kidding, but its funny to see how much control i have over ppl i dont know.. i do this for yall! thx 4 the love #stuntgang.”
Safaree also expressed that Nas once made him upset when he kissed Minaj in her “Right By My Side” music video.
“You wanna know what’s so crazy? I didn’t know it happened until the video came out,” he admitted during an appearance on the Keep It a Stack Podcast in.
“Ni**a, I was hurt. When that sh*t happened, I was hurt,” he went on. “I was there the whole day so I was like, ‘Damn. Did that happen when I left to go? I must’ve left for like an hour, two hours and I think that’s when that scene happened, yo.”
