Ebro slammed Safaree and questioned where he felt the authority to speak out on Nicki.

“I spoke to Nicki yesterday and she was upset about all of this and I just told her to be patient because in a few weeks this will all be gone and no one will be talking about your ex and your old relationships, but she was most upset about the idea that someone else was writing her rhymes. He asserted that there was help. When you look at Nicki Minaj’s album credits, there’s a lot of people that work on albums… But when you assert that somebody wrote your rhymes – you know that’s Nicki’s thing. But I told you that’s why he did it, because he knew that would hurt you.” (Hot 97)

Ebro also questioned why Safaree did not take the time to venture out with his own business ventures.

“Like how you with Nicki Minaj and you can’t play the back my G? You know he was chilling get cars, motorcycles, living in the houses, all dat. You can’t just kick back, start a business? Buy a Dunkin Donuts, a Wing Stop, my G?” (Hot 97)

Samuels defended his decision to not bash Nicki in the media earlier this week.

“I would never do anything publicly to try and pull her down. Whatever happens between me and her one on one, it is what is, you know and that’s personal and I would never put that out there. I could be out here telling a million stories and doing cornball sh*t like that, but I’m not going to do that, I never would do that and I never plan on doing that.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Safaree also weighed-in on Nicki singling him out publicly.

“I just think it’s crazy for her to come out now and be pulling me down and try and say I’m corny. I don’t care who you’re with. Who you’re with don’t mean nothing to me because I want you to move on because I’m moving on. I walked away from the situation.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Confronted by paparazzi, Samuels assured concerned fans he still supported Nicki despite their split last month.

“It’s definitely not a Twitter war. It’s just a misunderstanding, you know? I don’t know, it’s somebody out there putting poison out but definitely nothing but love. Don’t believe none of that. I support her in everything she do. Her music, her family, like, that’s somebody [I care about]. Twelve years is a long time. That’s not something you just forget about.” (TMZ)

  1. How does dude know? Was he in the bedroom with them on late nights and early mornings to know if the brother helped write her rhymes?

    • sound like he got a crush on nicki to me. nigga defending her like that and like you said, wasnt even around to know. smh. that old nigga comedy.

  2. Dead… That was the hilarious part about Nicki slamming Iggy — because Nicki don’t even write all her own rhymes. But then again, she basically did recreate Lil’ Kim’s entire career and pretend like she brought it to Hip Hop first.

  3. Nikki used to eat da box n all dat. Ask Remy Ma and check out young Nikki up n the BX n all dat on YouTube

  4. He never said he wrote for her he said helped a bit. Why is nicki mad??? He doing a few interviews while you made a WHOLE album based on dude wtf lol

  5. I agreed with Safaree on ‘certain’ points… i couldnt be with my girl and be treated like an employee… he said it was almost like he had to make appointments to be with her, he couldnt be affectionate in public & shit like that. But all in all, it gonna be hard for any dude to be with Nicki Minaj because shes Nicki Minaj. Its possible but it gotta be some Jay and Bey type shit.

    • Not really, You may not and should not be extra in public but a equal can show love. This dude understood her sex appeal and let it shine and it started going to get head. Yell

  6. Sb could have played the back behind is queen nicki, and do is own thing but i guess is ego went to is head. and now he wants to play the front, ok then he is free now so he can do whatever he is trying to claim nicki was stopping him from doing. Sb didn’t say he wrote for Nicki but he new that what he said people would run with it and twist it and make it seems like he did sh!t. and he new it would hurt nicki because people away be saying that female rappers have ghostwriters and Nicki been fighting that generalization from the get go. and look which radio station Sb went on he new what he was going there far and he new nicki wasn’t cool with that station anymore. Sb wants other people to lie for him ‘why he went over there and did what he did.

  7. But the guy does have ownership in a restaurant, didn’t ebro hear that nikki didn’t want this cat to help others right that wacky bullshit? The guy was getting clowned by nikki and he ain’t even go in on her and the fake body parts. That guy played his position better than anybody. I would have never let clowns like drake and wayne talk that shit. Ebro straight kissing ass, that ain’t how us trill west coast cats get down. Dude must have let some of them uppity east coast folk rub off on em (not the trill east cats cause they ain’t on that bullshit). Dude scared and begging for nikki to be on summer jam yell

  8. sb never said he wrote em he said he help i believe it though like sb sayz everybody has help … nobody does it alone … ebro need to mind his biz just like his partner rosie bitch they just like to start up dumb shit they worst than women

  9. Ebro, you are in the wrong for this one. Number one, it has ALWAYS been a topic of discussion as to rather she wrote her own lyrics. You can tell by the style changes over the years that she doesn’t really write. She ain’t the only one, male or female. It happens. I absolutely do believe her boyfriend helped her write. Even he said that he didn’t write everything. He said he helped. He even still have her props and said she’s the best in the game(which I disagree), but SHE says she wrote every line. The best rappers in the world ain’t wrote EVERY line, they get lines and ideas from here and there. Ebro, don’t align with Nikki just cause she’s the star homie. Just cause you famous don’t mean you can’t be wrong.

  10. “i spoke to niki yesterday” haha,,and what do u expect her to say?..haha some one sided shi* in her favor of course,,,but the sb kid should have seen the way things was gon go,,she surrounded by dudes 24/7 and every dude has got to already know if the woman is the breadwinner(especially to the degree she was) that woman is going to eventually wild out on you,,FACT!
