Safaree Samuels stopped by the Breakfast Club yesterday (Jan. 13) morning to discuss life after Nicki Minaj. Although Nicki seemed to be a major part of Samuel’s post life, as she was brought up often during the interview.
Charlamagne tha God, in his introducing of Samuels, spoke of how he (and the public) weren’t really clear on the role he played in Nicki’s life saying, “We didn’t know what you were.” Samuels made it very clear by responding, “Everything. Decisions weren’t made without me”. From there, Samuels seemed to have a lot more to say about his role in his ex’s life, and her role in his.

His proof of his talent (when asked whether or not he himself has talent):

“You still love that girl man,” …. “She’s my soulmate, we just can’t be together.”
He’s Not Bothered By Fame:

“I never planned on doing an interview. I had top magazines and top talk shows wanting interviews. But when you out here calling me corny, I’m gonna keep it real.”
When Asked About Whether He Considered Suicide:
“I’ve been in places where it’s like, I don’t wanna be here anymore.”
