New York rapper Safaree Samuels has stepped forward to defend wanting to be paid for helping ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj‘s career explode.

Safaree appeared to fire a subliminal jab at Nicki, who won five “American Music Awards” trophies, on Twitter last month.

Recent reports claimed Samuels wanted a pay day for helping write Nicki’s The Pink Print, Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded albums.

We’re told Safaree will present a boatload of proof he was super involved in Nicki’s work. His evidence includes videos of him working with Nicki, voice memos from recording sessions, hours of footage from studio sessions. He says he also has multiple witnesses to validate his contribution. And Safaree says Nicki herself acknowledged his contribution by giving him executive producer credit on her first 2 albums. (TMZ)

A picture of Safaree having a Nicki arm tat covered up hit Instagram last September.
