Nicki Minaj recently added fuel to the fire between her ex, Safaree Samuels, and his former partner, Erica Mena, in a very public drama. It all began when Erica posted online, criticizing Safaree for his lack of involvement with their children.

She claimed he had only seen his kids 16 times so far this year and accused him of trying to lower his child support payments simply because he “didn’t love his kids.” Safaree responded fiercely, denying the neglect claims and accusing Erica of being the real toxic presence in their relationship. He even posted security footage, allegedly showing Erica causing chaos in his home and acting violently in front of their children.

The situation escalated when Erica reportedly leaked explicit photos of Safaree to his family, further tarnishing their already volatile co-parenting relationship. Safaree, clearly fed up with the online attacks, released a lengthy video showing his version of events. He shared what he said were numerous receipts, including videos and calendars, to support his side of the story, painting Erica as the instigator of many of their issues. He even recounted how he tried to enroll his kids in a summer camp near his home, but Erica opposed the decision, creating unnecessary difficulties for him to spend time with his children.

Meanwhile, Erica defended her actions by sharing snippets of security footage from her home, showing Safaree attempting to get inside to supposedly reconcile with her. She claimed he repeatedly tried to win her back, even after their relationship was over, despite the public image he portrayed.

Erica took to social media to explain that she hadn’t willingly “chosen” Safaree; rather, he chased her for years before she agreed to give him a chance. She also clarified that their second child was unplanned, adding that by the time she discovered her pregnancy, she was already months along.

As the drama unfolded, Nicki Minaj made her feelings known by jumping in with some thinly veiled shade directed at both Safaree and Erica. Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, were already upset with Safaree after he made an unexpected appearance at her Pink Friday 2 tour, a move they interpreted as an attempt to start trouble. Taking advantage of the situation, Nicki seemingly mocked Safaree for ending up with Erica, implying he had fumbled the opportunity to stay with her in the past.

Nicki’s remarks didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who saw her comments as a pointed jab at her ex. Many interpreted her words as her way of reminding Safaree what he lost by choosing Erica over her, all while highlighting the messiness of his current relationship.

This saga shows how social media has become a battleground for public figures to air their grievances, where private issues are shared in full view of the public. Nicki’s involvement added a twist of celebrity rivalry, underscoring how unresolved issues from past relationships can resurface in unexpected ways. The messy public feud between Safaree and Erica continues to captivate fans and critics alike, while Nicki’s commentary underscores the challenges of co-parenting and moving on from past relationships in the spotlight.
