Nicki Minaj fans criticized Safaree for attending her Miami concert, sparking controversy

Safaree Samuels, Nicki Minaj’s ex-boyfriend, faced backlash from Minaj’s fans, known as the Barbz, after he attended her Miami concert on October 6, 2024, as part of her Pink Friday 2 tour. Safaree had previously teased fans by saying he would attend the concert “in full disguise,” even referencing wearing a jean vest similar to one seen in Minaj’s documentary series My Truth. He followed through on his word, but his appearance was not well received by Minaj’s supporters.

Fans spotted Safaree in the audience wearing a jean vest and heckled him throughout the concert, with some speculating that he was eventually escorted out by his security team. Social media platforms erupted with reactions, and some fans even accused him of "obsessive" behavior towards Minaj. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "No MALICE? You went on a whole press tour spreading lies about you writing for her... what you’re doing is stalk-ish and obsessive."

In response to the criticism, Safaree posted on X, expressing his admiration for Minaj, saying, "I’m proud no cap… there is no malice in me." Despite his statement, many fans continue to reference the former couple’s turbulent breakup, with some criticizing his past behavior towards the rapper. The concert also saw Minaj bringing her husband, Kenneth Petty, on stage, which fans speculated was in response to Safaree's presence.
