Safaree Samuels Says Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim Beef Over 'Jealousy?' [VIDEO]

Nicki Minaj's ex-boyfriend, Safaree Samuels says her beef with Lil Kim was over competitiveness in Hip Hop.

In an interview with VladTv, the "It Is What It Is" rapper said that he think the beef stemmed from Nicki's number one spot after Lil Kim owned the spot from many years prior, "You know with females, especially with females of position and females of power, it's just different. That's why you don't see females work together like that. No matter what, there's always going to be that competitive nature, it's in their blood."

He insinuated that his ex may not wanted to acknowledge his help towards her successful rap career due to owning the number one spot above any other female artist, "You don't see a bunch of girls doing a bunch of songs with each other because girls wanna do they own thing and pop on they own and not have nobody else say they helped them did it."

The model then revealed that the rapper wrote most of Nicki's lyrics and received major backlash from her fans, "You used to write all of Nicki's s**t." She said, "He's helped, I guess we'll see at the next album.

Immediately, the rapper's fans slammed the Canadian model for discrediting "The Pinkprint" rap star. Sophia took to Twitter to explain her side and backtrack her comments, "I just want to clarify. Wasn't trying to discredit Nicki. She's a great artist. Nor was I trying to say she doesn't create her own work. I was trying to glorify under credited artist... That's it. I wish Nicki well, I'm a fan and I've never meant anything by it. I get defensive when it comes to people I love."
