Safaree Samuels put in work during his 11-year relationship with Nicki
Minaj, but he refuses to be her "employee."
Just before Christmas, the 32-year-old rapper took center stage on
Twitter to rant about his ex-love.
On Tuesday, he had the chance to tell his side of the story.
"I walked away," he told
New York City's Power 105.1 FM's "The Breakfast Club."
"I'm not going to say I broke up, but I'm the one who walked
away," he added. "I packed up my stuff and I left."
Minaj dished on their break up when she last interviewed with Power
105's Angie Martinez.
"This is somebody I grew up with," the Queens-born rapper said about Samuels. "I don't
even know how I'm going to function without that person in my life. I never
lived my life as a famous person without him."
When the "Bang Bang" rapper did acquire fame, things started
to change in their relationship.
"Anything you don't appreciate will be taken. God sees your
ungrateful evil soul," she tweeted in late December.
"Wanted fame. I gave u my blessing. I still love. I still love.
I'll always love. So disappointed," she continued, pulling lines from her hit "Pills N
Potions" off her latest album "The Pinkprint," which is said to
have several songs inspired by Minaj's heartbreak.
While Samuels -- whose rap name is Scaff Beezy -- immediately shot back
on Twitter telling his ex-lady to "stop looking for pitty (sic)," he
was reluctant to go further on the social media site. It wasn't until Tuesday
when he really laid it all out.
"I just got to the point where the respect wasn't there," he
said.
"Everyone around her works for her, you know?" he explained.
"So it got to the point where it was like, I'm your man. I'm who you go to
sleep with every night. I'm who you wake up with every morning. And it got to
the point where I was being treated like an employee, instead of like her
man."
Through all the hurt and pain the pair has endured, they've both chosen
different paths in expressing it.
Minaj admitted to airing their dirty laundry in songs like "Bed of
Lies" and others on her latest album because she wanted to share that
broken part of herself with fans and admit that she's "a vulnerable woman,
and I'm proud of that," she previously told Rolling Stone.
For Samuels, he insisted he's taking a more private approach.
"I would never do anything publicly to try to pull her down,"
he told
Power 105. "Whatever happens between me and her one-on-one is what it
is, that's personal. I would never put that out there."
