Since news broke about Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels ending their 12 year relationship, a roller coaster of emotions from both parties have been broadcasted across all social media platforms. This past weekend heated Twitter rants from both Minaj and Samuel happened simultaneously while onlookers watched.

A TMZ reporter recently caught up with Safaree to discuss why the two went at each other's throats on Twitter and to get to the bottom of their current status. Safaree assured the reporter he has nothing but love for the "Only" rapper. He believes what happened on Twitter was a complete misunderstanding.

"I support her and everything she do,” said Safaree to TMZ. “12 years is a longtime. That’s not something you just forget about, so that’s like a family member. It’s not easy, but I got to do what I got to do.”
