Nicki Minaj‘s devoted fan base, affectionately called ‘Barbz,’ have made no secret of their approval of the femcee’s latest singles, ‘Barbie Tingz’ and ‘Chun Li.’ Hoisting the latter to a top 10 perch on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 (as we reported here), the cut – her 16th run in the chart’s highest dectet of positions – helped Minaj kick her way into history books by extending her already lengthy lead of ‘most top 10 entries by a female rapper.’ Add to this, the tunes’ respective entries on the chart assisted with tightening her grip on the title of ‘most chart placements by a female act in history (of any genre).’
Despite the applause of her fans, there’s one of her (former) supporters who is none-too-impressed: ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels. The rapper, who lent his pen to a number of Minaj’s more memorable hits, hasn’t exactly been in favor of a number of the song’s she’s produced since the dissolution of their professional and romantic relationship; ‘Barbie Tingz’ and ‘Chun Li’ are the latest to feel his disapproval.
Taking to ‘Big Boy’s Neighborhood,’ Samuels shared his thoughts on the songs as well as weighed in on her nemesis, rising rapstress Cardi B. Tuck in to hear it all from his lips:
Start at the :10 mark:
On Minaj’s ‘Barbie Tingz’ and ‘Chun Li’:
“That’s not something I would listen to,” said Safaree. “I’m just being honest, I’m not being a hater or nothing.”
On Cardi B’s ‘Invasion of Privacy’ album:
“It’s ill. I knew it was going to be ill though, cause it looked like she took her time with it. I like a lot of the songs on it…People love her so much as a person, even if her music wasn’t as good as it is, it would have still been like, bravo you did it. In this day and age, your personality is eighty percent of you being an artist.”

Fans of Minaj know this isn’t the first time Safaree’s weighed in on both rapstresses. Click here to read his reasons for believing the Young Money maven is ‘threatened’ by Cardi B.
I was just startin to like him but now ima call his hating a55 what he is fukken faqq!
Right!? He doesn’t like those songs but he liked stupid ho3?, in the music video he was dancing n all sort lol that song was the wackiest ever compared to BT or CL ….he a hater period.
Duhhh stupid, he was her “hype man”. He was supposed to “like” those songs…
Honey Safaree can have an opinion! Leave him and his BigAssDick alone!
F his opinion ..bitter queens never prosper!
Sure he can have opinions, but not a public opinion until he produces and writes hits for different artists. He is not qualified to have a public opinion just yet because he has not put in the work that shows he can produce hits for a variety of artists. People that are qualified to speak on female rappers are people like Missy Elliott, Pharell, Timbaland, Diddy, Jay-z, etc…ie…people that have produced hits for lots of different artists.
@Jasmine, you sound crazy…”people that are qualified to speak on female rappers…”???? Since when do you need to be qualified lol…so are YOU not qualified to state your opinion on anyone? Cuz you ain’t no Missy, Pharell, Timbaland, Diddy, Jay-Z, etc.
Jasmine, girl just….atfu. U too stupid for words
SDOT you are the stupid uneducated one. Clearly you lack reading comprehension skills because I never said he cannot have an opinion. I said he is not qualified to have a public opinion. Obviously most of the people commenting on this feel the same way.
Since when do we listen to the opinion of a bitter ex?
Since when do we listen to her?
@Jasmine, obviously most? Where are the most?? Actually, MOST of the time I see people on here disagreeing with your ignorant comments…so I won’t even entertain you…

Lol s****** blonde has said many times he’s from Switzerland lmfao what a troll fail you are TROLLMINE
Like Geneva ain’t got planes or a airport. LMAO. S****** why are you lyin and trollin? You know damn well you was there. We had drinks last night at the bar and you tried to get me to go to the bath house with you for the orgy party but I refused. Why are you lyin and acting like you did not write that post?
His only relevance is nicki tho he’s her former producer co-writer and hype man so this is very biased
Of course he wouldn’t like her career if he’s not part of it !
exactly..Ima tell you why he really mad tho cuz nicki got him robbed and got his music sabatoged ! lol
Somehow you thrive off of keeping her name in your mouth. It’s nice that you wouldn’t listen to those songs. It’s such a contradiction being you were with her during her mixtape days when she was talking about barbies and embracing Asian culture. I love the music that she created. I swear you Safaree and all the other enemies, friendimies will end up being her footstools in the end. Only love can drive out darkness, not hate. You sir still have work to do with yourself because your darkness still seeps through. You are hurt and you need to get over it.
HoeHush
She did have better music when she was with him. Seems like she’s just trying to recreate the same ol same which is why her music continues to be the same ol same after same ol same.
TRASH
Ya’ll need to make up ya’ll minds and pick a side. First ya’ll said that her music was whack because she was on some pop s*** now ya’ll saying that her music was better when she was with him. Which one is it??? Because they were together when nicki went pop
Onika is a disgusting p******** supporter and is a disgrace to humanity
Nicki’s ex from years ago doesn’t like her music… She will remain unbothered, as petty hating is all this peasant is capable of.
I don’t think this is hating. He also said there is room on the scene for them both.
LOL, look at his track record. Since Nicki dumped him he’s been dissing her, lying about his part in her career, apologizing, admitting to lying, then dissing her again, then trying to act as if he’s moved on, then dissing her with Meek, then defending her to act as if he’s better than Meek, then dissing her again. All while Nicki is paying him dust. He just wants Nicki’s attention and he’s going to keep doing this petty s*** until she talks to him. He clearly still wants her back.
Yea he does want her back. He was truly in love and with the same woman for like 12 years.
He’s being abusive to Nicki
Dang dude bitter much..
Cardi b isn’t a real rapper…..she just got lucky….people are so gullible .
So I guess Nicki is to thank Taylor for her career then?
Everyone doesn’t suck Nicki Minaj d*** like her fools, I mean fans!!
But Safaree was eating her p*ssy and would jump at the chance to do it again. You look foolish taking the words of a bitter ex seriously.
Not surprised! I wouldn’t expect Nicki’s ex to praise her!
You cant even compare the 2.niki sold millions .
You cant even compare the 2 .Niki sold millions .
It’s so funny how Safaree likes to always talk about Nicki’s new music/hit songs saying he doesn’t rock with them yet he can’t produce a hit to save his life. He is corny & bitter! Wasn’t he just saying “Tell Nicki to call me” or he miss her & wishes they were still friends. Like someone else said approved “Stupid h**” & some ither songs that were not her best. His opinion is invalid.
So first of Safaree is a hater and u guys on here are hating on the queen for nothing. I mean facts are facts. Nicki came back with a smash. Who else in the game among female rapper has this longevity. I mean. Shes been around for 10 years + which female rapper has stood up the way she did. U h*** should bow down or at least acknowledge her hard work. Pay respect and sot yall down. Nick come thru
Please shut up!
Yall mad…nicki new stuff is whack… its nothing new and her personality sucks… truth hurts and yall are bothered lol ??♂️
YALL ARE SO SHADY!! WHERE WAS THE LEAK OR REFERENCE TRACK THAT SHOWS SAFAREE “LENT HIS PEN” TO NICK LIKE WHERES THE PROOF. YALL STAY TRYING TO DISCREDIT NICKI AT EVERY TURN WHILE GIVING MILLI VANILLI ASS H*** LIKE CARDI A PASS!! WHEN I SEE PROOF THAT HE WROTE FOR NICKI THAN I WILL BELIEVE IT!!
I bet he’s all in if she wanted to work with him again?! ? Just live on reality tv! You obviously don’t remember who actually got you a spot in the public eye.. dumb.
The verbal assaults upon her has to stop she should press charges … and file a restraining order….
