Nicki Minaj seems to be enjoying the turbulent relationship drama between her ex-boyfriend, Safaree Samuels, and his ex-wife, Erica Mena. Recently, Nicki made her thoughts clear in a live video on October 17, suggesting that Mena’s past harassment towards her might have led to the challenges Mena now faces.
Nicki Minaj’s Reaction to Erica Mena’s Troubles
In her live video, Nicki addressed the situation indirectly, saying, “I don’t know who needed to hear this, but good for you [affected laughs]. Good for you!” She appeared to hint that karma had come into play for Mena, suggesting, “Sometimes you need to leave people dem alone. And ya see, sometimes when a queen is minding her business … they want the queen life.”
Nicki’s comments reflect lingering frustration from past interactions with Mena, who had previously criticized Minaj. Without naming names, she advised against “harassing people who never said anything about you,” adding that it’s best to avoid creating conflict where there is none.
The Safaree-Erica Mena Drama
The tensions between Safaree and Erica Mena became even more public earlier this week. Safaree, known for his appearances on Love & Hip Hop, attempted to reduce his child support payments, which led to leaked videos showing disturbing confrontations. In one video, Mena is seen destroying furniture in front of their children, while another clip captures their daughter’s reluctance to go to her mother’s house. Safaree also posted footage of Mena using a ladder to climb onto his property and bang on windows in the early morning hours.
Mena addressed the situation in a statement shared with TMZ, expressing “astonishment and sorrow” over their deteriorating relationship. “It’s truly heartbreaking to realize how far we’ve come,” she said, adding her desire to end the conflict for the well-being of their children, who she described as “the center of my world and the lights of my life.”
Nicki Minaj’s Past With Safaree
Nicki and Safaree’s relationship, which lasted over a decade before their split in 2014, has left lingering feelings on both sides. Recently, Nicki criticized Safaree after he attended one of her Pink Friday 2 Tour shows. During her appearance on Stationhead, Nicki described how people sometimes “try to steal your joy” and warned of karma for those who disrespect her and her fanbase, the Barbz.
After the show, Nicki made a subtle remark about Safaree’s presence, saying, “Everyone knows how to go to watch anything and be incognito. I’m a fucking superstar. If I wanna go to a concert and be completely incognito, I would know how to do it, okay?” Safaree, however, didn’t show any signs of bitterness at the concert, as he was seen enjoying himself, singing and dancing along to Nicki’s performance.
