Hot 97 host Ebro Darden used his show to sound off in support of Nicki Minaj in a video posted yesterday (January 14).
“I’m super proud of Nicki Minaj this morning,” Ebro says on the radio. “Her ex-boyfriend out here yappin’, right. And by the way he was never a public figure, so for him to be running around and doing interviews is super lame and believe that’s one of the reasons that they broke up, because he wanted to be somebody.”
Ebro addresses Safaree Samuels, Nicki Minaj’s ex-boyfriend. Samuels spoke with the Power 105’s The Breakfast Club Tuesday (January 13) and asserted that he assisted Minaj in writing her lyrics.
“Every time it came to writing raps,” Samuels says, “it was me, her and the beat. It got to the point where the respect was gone. I’m the one who packed my stuff and left.”
Ebro says that Minaj is not thrilled about the recent comments.
“I spoke to Nicki yesterday and she was upset about all of this and I just told her to be patient because in a few weeks this will all be gone and no one will be talking about your ex and your old relationships, but she was most upset about the idea that someone else was writing her rhymes,” Ebro says in the video. “He asserted that there was help. When you look at Nicki Minaj’s album credits, there’s a lot of people that work on albums… But when you assert that somebody wrote your rhymes – you know that’s Nicki’s thing. But I told you that’s why he did it, because he knew that would hurt you.”
Ebro detailed his advice for Minaj’s ex.
“Like how you with Nicki Minaj and you can’t play the back my G?” Ebro says. “You know he was chilling get cars, motorcycles, living in the houses, all dat. You can’t just kick back, start a business? Buy a Dunkin Donuts…a Wing Stop, my G?”
Nicki Minaj’s latest studio album, The Pinkprint, has sold 388,200 copies to date and received a HHDX rating of four out of five.
“The Pinkprint runs a middle path between pop over exertion and real lyricism, creating an everything for someone aesthetic that Nicki doesn’t allow to shift into wastefulness,” the HHDX review says. “As such, it is an ambitious undertaking Nicki has wrangled in highly entertaining fashion.”

ebro comin off like a sucka. fuck outta here with yo ol relationship counselin ass
thats what haters do. they comment on other men’s relationships in public. its like gossip
Ebro just corny ass hell, mad cause he couldn’t get that interview on Hot97.
Safaree wasn’t even bashing ol’ girl in that video,
Ebro is a bitch. Always was
DEez 2 niggas is the lamest mfs in the game!…. NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THESE MFS OPINON
Niggas think money will buy you happiness. Too bad more than 95%
of dudes ain’t never had a chick that supported them. After a while cars, money gets played out because it’s at your disposal. This dude seem humble but like he said shit suck he can’t eveneven hug his chick in publix
only thing worse than a nigga doing an interview talking about his ex is some other random nigga thats not involved putting himself into the situation for views/hits.
These radio DJ’s are tricks for these women celebrities. Wasn’t Rosenberg trying to defend Amber Rose last month? These dudes need to stop acting like women and get real jobs.
Thumbs way up! These simp ass dudes need to stop brown nosing!
He did her a favor cuz this was her best album ……….. At least he didnt reveal that she was selling herself to men like ZIZIZCCY.
ebro standing up for nick like he tryna get a piece next. the man said the respect between him and his girl was gone. what kinda man would play the background for so long while his girl out there kissing’ guys on camera? and who the hell names their kids safari anyways?
Which real man would want to play the back carrying his chicks purse and being told how to act? Money cant replace respect
Go fuck yourself bro Black ppl are better athletes, Better musicians, Better actors, dancers and entertainers. the only thing you white ppl rule at is arrogance.
Keep sucking up Ebro you’ll never hit it. Secondly I think there must of been some shit cause she was his meal ticket and he left her. So that alone takes gull most ppl would deal with the shit to fuck someone like nikki one the regular and live lavishly. So clearly he wants to be his own person. Sorry Ebro not everyone’s kiss ass like you.
Ebro is a fucking idiot and a suck up. just a couple years ago, he was bashing nicki, now he acting like she’s his best friend. this is the biggest reach i have ever seen to get some damn album sales. nicki killed her own career and i do hope she can bounce back. shit not about playing the back ground, it’s about fame getting to one’s head. the only reason ebro is bashing ol boy is cuz he did an interview with the breakfast club and not hot97. if ebro spent half the time focusing on getting hot97 back on track as much as he spend hating on power105, then maybe he’s get ahead. but until then, he needs to stop being a bitch. smh.
seriously, if you could figure your own life out like you just did these people’s that you don’t know in a business you’re not in, you’d be straight & not care about this melodrama. just a lil’ insight for you to ponder
agreed
@ dtach, the truest shit i heard today.
Typical Industry D**k riding. They acting like they are Nikki’s best friend all of a sudden. He just mad that SB went to the breakfast club for the interview….. Shot 97
Nicki was on twitter disrespecting SB like crazy, was he supposed to just take it and not say anything? Nah fuck that if I wrote half your rhymes I’m gonna tell the world, how you like them apples?
how the fuck would ebro know if he wrote her rhymes? he wasnt there all those years with them. theres a reason her ex has executive producer credits on all her records
Really bro? I’m a white dude and stupid shit like that really pisses me off. Why would you even say something like that, it has nothing to do with the topic. I hate racist people to death man… The human race rules bitch
your mom thinks otherwise. she always tells me black men rule especially when my dick leaves her mouth.
ebro a cornball. nicki shitted on hot 97 and now theyre trying to get back in her good graces.
Ebro lost respect with this. I saw his interview and thought he as pretty respectfu to Nicki. He probably was there writing with her…why wouldnt he have been? You think that’s not true?
ebro would have been cute if he wsas born a girl, with the same genes and everything. nice redbone booty. sad he had to cover it up with that beard i cant even fantasize now
Nigga you gay.
