Nicki Minaj is facing a lawsuit from ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels accusing her of physical and mental abuse, and the rapper lashed out on Twitter.
In a series of tweets posted early this morning, the “Truffle Butter” rapper exposed her ex’s filing. Minaj reveals she got the news after celebrating boyfriend Meek Mill’s 29th birthday.
Tweeted on the 5th that the 6th was my baby's bday. Celebrated on the 6th for his bday (publicly). Served w/a lawsuit on the 9th. lol

Minaj split with Samuels in 2014 after dating for 12 years. The star of “Barbershop: The Next Cut” has said the breakup inspired her newest album, “The Pinkprint,” according to Complex.
Two years later this poor excuse of a man is suing me & claiming to have been physically & emotionally abused. Lol. He's so miserable.

Minaj questions Samuels’ manhood and blames absent fathers for the idea that men don’t have to work for their money. She says they mooch off successful women instead.
Look @ what "men" have become so that they don't have to work. Fathers pls stay in your sons' lives.

She then laments about being accused of emotional and physical abuse, blaming her ex for his “miserable” refusal to move on with his life.
You can't even celebrate your happiness anymore w/o being victimized. Miserable ppl refuse to move on w/their lives.

Even after their breakup, the rapper says her former hypeman bombarded her with emails, prompting Meek Mill to ask him to stop.
My man asked him to stop emailing me. I also asked him several times. This man can't move on. It's really sad. I have the emails to prove it
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
After threatening to release the emails, she tweets about how she is aware of Samuels’ impending reality show appearance. Rumors say the songwriter is going to appear on the third season of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” as he is dating Nikki Mudarris, who currently stars on the show, according to The Inquisitr.
U really want me showing these emails? I know u need a story line to be on reality Tv. God punishing u & u bout to get more!!!!!
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Minaj says her ex has called her mother, though she told him that she’d give him help, presumably with money or emotional support. She begs him to leave her and her boyfriend alone.
Calling my mother crying. I said I'd help. But as soon as meek asked him to stop emailing me it's a problem. LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!! PLEASE!!!
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Then she angrily tweets that she was unable to celebrate Meek’s birthday without Samuels “trying to extort me.”
LIKE I CANT EVEN CELEBRATE MY MAN BDAY W/O THIS MISERABLE SON OF A BITCH TRYING TO EXTORT ME!!!!!
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Minaj adds he once stole money from her and she had mercy on him. But the Trinidad & Tobago-born rapper has now had enough. She plans to counter sue him.
Caught him stealing money and never prosecuted him!!!! Now I'm DOING IT. ENOUGH!!!!!!

She also hits at Samuels for happily accepting gifts from her during their relationship.
I can't even make my man happy for his bday w/o this low life trying to make our lives hell. He miss those gifts.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Then, Minaj says Samuels has been putting on a front in the media about their distant relationship as he continued to contact her, refusing to “let go.”
Y'all think social media is real life. Stop emailing me u miss me!!!! Putting on a show for the media then emailing me.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
U were abused my nigga? Look @ what you've become. Gods wrath is no joke. You will regret every lie u said about me.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Imagine how it feels to have someone who gained so much off of your name refuse to let go & let u be happy.

Responding to a tweet about fame going to her ex’s head and karma getting the best of him, the Queens, New York MC believes God plans to make him suffer.
In the name of Jesus. It already has https://t.co/puwyBSspKx

You can fool these blogs but God KNOWS! And u will suffer until u stop lying on me.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Minaj urges Samuels to move on and “accept that you messed up.”
I could never sue a person who gave me all they had to give. Accept that u messed up & move on.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
And she questions why a man like Samuels would attract women by wanting a payout instead working “just as hard” as women do.
And some women would actually side with this leach just b/c they're filled w/hate & jealousy.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
We have women out here HUSTLING… There's no reason a healthy man can't go out there & work & hustle just as hard!
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
After mentioning how generous she had been, Minaj says “the greedy are never satisfied” and that any money won from lawsuits will come back to haunt “leaches.”
After I worked so hard for what I have, & shared so much, the greedy are never satisfied.
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) May 11, 2016
Whatever isn't rightfully yours will become a curse once u have it. The money u leaches win in lawsuits will never bless u. It will curse u

Samuels’ rep issued a statement taking aim at Minaj’s social media posts.
“Initially, things were being handled privately behind the scenes but it was taken to social media and unfortunately it’s now being played out in the public eye which could easily be interpreted as a cry for attention. Safaree will not continue in any more social media feuds and at this time, we are unable to comment or provide any details pertaining to the current legal proceedings that are taking place with Safaree Samuels and Nicki Minaj. We are confident that things will be both favorable and amicable for all parties.”
