‘I’m Glad Someone Likes that S—t’: Safaree Samuels Claims His Son Legend Only Dances to His Music, Shares This Video and Fans React 

Safaree Samuels‘ fans called bluff to the reality star’s latest theory: that of declaring his son Legend Samuels only dances to his music.

In an Instagram post shared on Sept. 11, Safaree, who appeared to be in the doctor’s office with his 1-year-old son, was seen recording Legend as he did a back-and-forth motion on top of an exam table while listening to an undisclosed track.


In addition to the video, Safaree expressed in the caption that Legend only performs this way whenever the toddler hears his music. The 41-year-old wrote, “He only does this to my song, I swear.”

As the video circulated online, many claimed there were numerous reasons why Legend was seen dancing to his father’s music. A handful of people said that Safaree might be keeping a short catalog of music around the house. At the same time, others brought up that Legend is too young to differentiate between good and bad quality in music. 

“I’m pretty sure you play YOUR music around the house 11,000 times. Jit got no choice.” 

“Because you not playing no other music. That’s all he know.”

“He’s a baby he don’t understand or know any better.”

“You can’t blame the baby, he’s only one. Everything sounds the same to him.”

“He doesn’t know good music yet. He’s only dancing because he knows the voice he wants to be supportive.”

Among the previous remarks, several fans mentioned that given Legend’s reaction to Safaree’s music that the toddler appeared to be one of the rapper’s biggest fans. One wrote,”I’m glad somebody like that s–t.” Another person said, “@safaree finally got a fan of his music.”

While pointing out how adorable it is that Legend enjoys Safaree’s song, a third Instagram user posted, “Awwwww his one and only fan, how cute!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
