Deb Antney On Nicki Minaj & Safaree’s Relationship: “I Thought He Was Gay'”

Deb Antney is hot on the promotional trail for the new FX series ‘Hip-Hop Uncovered,’ which she serves as one of the anchors of.

The revered manager appears alongside other notable names on the docu-series, which spotlights key figures who’ve parlayed their street acumen into music industry machines.

Antney is especially notable for managing a young Nicki Minaj.

During an interview on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN, she seized the moment to weigh-in what was the femcee’s then-secret relationship with ex Safaree.

Her words below…

“I never knew her and Safaree was going together. I thought Safaree was a gay guy that she hung out with, and he was her helper. She never showed [affection].”

She continued:

“When I was booking her out, she was like, ‘Deb, I need two rooms,’ but the two rooms wasn’t for him because she would get dressed in the other room, but I didn’t know that they went together. I never knew until he took my car from her, and she called me to lock him up. And then he called me, and that’s when he broke down everything.”

Elsewhere, she shared:

“He put his career back for her, you know. He told me that. They put everything into her- to let her go.”

Minaj and Safaree dated for 12 years before calling it quits in 2014.
