Here's a look into the superstar's world in her MTV documentary, My Time Again.
Nicki Minaj Opens Up About Abortion: It's 'Haunted Me All My Life'
Nicki Minaj ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels, aka SB or SBStunts, is finally breaking his silence about his recent breakup with the “Only” rapper.
For the first time ever Safaree Samuels is doing a radio interview and opening up about her relationship with Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill and also addressing those suicide rumors on Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club with Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, and DJ Envy.
Over the past few months we’ve seen Nicki Minaj did several interviews speaking about her heart break and even breaking down during an interview with Angie Martinez.
But this is the first time we’ve seen Safaree stepping forward to give his side of the story. The Stuntgang rapper says Nicki Minaj is his soulmate.
“That was like my soulmate, that wasn’t just someone I was just working with,” Safaree said. “People thought that I was just her hype man but no it was more than that.”
Safaree Samuels opened up on how he met Nicki Minaj before they started dating over a decade ago. “We were in a group together called Hood Starz. We did the group thing together for like two years and that didn’t work out so we packed two cars and moved to Atlanta.” Safaree Samuels executive produced Nicki Minaj’s debut and solo albums but was nowhere to be found on her third album The PinkPrint. He says the reason why he is speaking out now is because Nicki Minaj publicly dissing him on Twitter recently calling him corny.
“I would never do anything publicly to try to put her down you know what am saying like whatever happened between me and her one and one, it is what it is that’s personal and I would never put that out there,” Scaff Beezy said.
“I could be out here telling a million stories and doing cornball stuffs like that but am not going to do that and I would never do that and I never planned on doing that. So I just think it’s crazy for her to come out now and try pulling me down and try to say am corny.
Safaree also made it clear that he has moved on and walked away from the situation and he wants her to also move on.
“I don’t care who your with that don’t mean anything to me like I want you to move on because I have moved on I walked away from the situation.”
When asked if he broke up with Nicki Minaj, Safaree Samuels say, “I walked away, am not going to say I broke up, but I walked away, I am the one who packed my stuffs and I left. It just got to the point where the respect was gone you know what am saying.”
Safaree Samuels also said he never really understand why she kept their relationship a secret but keep was so open about their breakup.
He also touch on the subject of helping her write her lyrics and working with her on her album.
On the Meek Mill dating rumors, Safaree says he is not bitter about it.
SB also speak on those rumors of him being suicidal following his bitter breakup with Nicki Minaj.
“I think everybody has felt like that before. It’s not an easy thing to deal with but now I’m happy. I’m at the point where I can see it and not be bothered. It was hard for me to be in the car and she comes on the radio or if I’m looking on Instagram and I see some memes and stuff like that you know it use to get to me. But now I’m to the point where it’s like, tunnel vision. It doesn’t bother me no more,” Safaree Samuels said.

Nicki Minaj is about as thick-skinned as they come, but she opened up about a decision that left her heartbroken back in her teen years. The 32-year-old rapper spoke to Rolling Stone about a pregnancy that ended in abortion while she was still in high school. "I thought I was going to die," she says when she found out she was pregnant. "I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through." According to Rolling Stone, the father of her unborn child was an older guy from Queens that she dated while still attending Manhattan's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.

While the "Anaconda" singer admitted that the decision to have an abortion has "haunted [her] all [her] life," she thought that it was the right choice at the time. "It'd be contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice," Nicki told the mag. "I wasn't ready. I didn't have anything to offer a child." Still, Nicki acknowledges that not everyone is going to like what she has to say. "Millions of people are gonna hear it," said Nicki. "And you gotta watch everything you say -- people find an issue with every f***ing thing." Nicki first rapped about the incident on a track called "Autobiography" from her 2008 mixtape, Sucka Free, but made headlines with a reference to the event on "All Things Go" from her latest album The Pinkprint. On the track, Nicki makes the confession in a verse that focuses on her dreams for her younger brother, Micaiah "Caiah" Maraj. "I want Caiah to go to college, just to say we did it," she rhymes. "My child with Aaron would have been 16 any minute / so in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them / It's like he's Caiah's little angel, looking over him." Lately, Nicki has been very open about her goal to start a family. Earlier this month, she told Ellen DeGeneres that one day she wants "a little cute fat baby." In November, she also told Complex Magazine, "If I'm done with my fifth album and I don't have a child by then, no matter how much money I have, I would be disappointed, as a woman, because I feel like I was put here to be a mother." The Pinkprint is Nicki's third album.

No, she letting everyone know cause it haunting her fake ass. she know the most high aint having none of it, that is murder. abortion is murder and God is very upset with this practice, God has giving these women Prophets born to save the world sent by God himself and they are just killing them off in the womb and outside of the womb. He has to be so so sad from all of this worlds atrocities. Niki IS a DEMON It aint a secret.
@ Karyn, because that is her personal business....I don't see how people go around telling people about their abortions...I don't find that to be something I would share with anyone...that's why she could have kept that to herself.
Why should she keep it to herself? Most artists express themselves through their lyrics. I would much rather hear about real things then let's say drake who claims he started from the bottom when he always had money and never knew the struggle! Or what about these fake thugs??? She's touching real issues and letting out what's inside of her heart. Some of you people just wanna criticize everyone!!!!
Ok. She knew it was wrong but why bother to let it bother her.

How brave of her to share what was a very difficult decision to have the abortion. I don't much care for her on-stage antics because her and others celebrities hypersexualization adversely affects our youth. The kids watching these artists think this kind of behavior is the norm not being able to separate fact from fantasy.
