Of course, the world knows Safaree, now, but he spent years in the background. He was the quiet guy with Nicki Minaj and the world didn’t know much about him. Most didn’t realize he was actually Nicki’s longtime boyfriend.
Nicki Minaj, instead, was flirtatious with Drake and Lil Wayne, for starters, and there were rumors of her and Nas being a thing. After she and Safaree split, Nicki did spend time with Nas. But, before Safaree did his own thing, he mentioned all the things he did for her.
Some fans brushed it off, even accused Safaree of talking too much about Nicki, early on. But, he’s now a star in his own right, engaged to fellow “Love & Hip Hop” star, Erica Mena. Now, people are seeing this flashback of him at the 2010 VMAs and seeing how much Safaree did ride for Nicki, his then-woman.
