After “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” star Safaree Samuels was exposed for his purchased hairline yesterday, he’s not ducking and hiding from ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj.

On Tuesday, Aug. 14 Minaj tweeted during her feud with her ex that she regretted forking over money for Samuels to get his hairline replaced.

“I should’ve never paid for that Damn hairline!!!! It fell back out cuz God don’t like ugly!!!! You used me but God had other plans!!!!!” she said.

“Tyga s— ain’t fall back out!!!! Y’all went to the same doctor!!! Yours fell out cuz GOD DONT LIKE UGLY!!!!!!” she added in a separate tweet.

But while some may have denied they needed some assistance in the hair department, Samuels ran with it even noting that it cost $12,000 to get his self together. He also corrected Minaj on a fact about his doctor’s appointment.

“1st off Me and Tyga didn’t go to the same dr. We did it the same day. Diff doctors. Listen I don’t know if this has to do with 1st-week sales but you need to finish your zen,” Samuels tweeted. “And don’t talk about vh1 checks cuz the way you’re acting it’s like [you’re] auditioning to be on LHH.”

Then the reality star woke up bragging about just how profitable Minaj exposing his previous hair loss had been for him. By Wednesday, Aug. 15, Samuels had the potential to rake in a total of $530,000 from the issue.

“No joke I made 30k today just by referring ppl to the doctor who did my hairline … Thank youuu all.. the funny thing is it’s never been a secret dat pic is 7 years old 😩😂but I’ll be posting more info about my doctor later… thank y’all internet,” he tweeted Tuesday.

Samuels then shared another money development Wednesday writing, “Wow. woke up to a book deal offer for over 500k and an endorsement deal for a hair club for men 😂😂😂 and that was the 1st offer 😍😍 THANK YOU BABY 😇 guess imma add author to my long list of hustles.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
