Nicki Minaj is incredibly private when it comes to her personal life, but it’s been rumored for years that she is dating her hype man and close friend Safaree “SB” Samuels. Some sites even claim the alleged couple is engaged, but Nicki has denied on numerous occasions that they are romantically involved. However, that didn’t stop SB from becoming a target of the tabloids several months ago when several sites accused him of cheating on her with a p*rn star. SB denied the reports and it now appears he has now decided to show off his loyalty to his rumored love with a brand new tattoo.
According to reports, Safaree just got a tattoo of Nicki’s face on his arm and there’s even video of him getting the ink done on YouTube.
He reputedly got the ink done at LA’s Artistic Elements Tattoo Shop, and when asked why he decided to do it, he says it’s because he wanted to “be different” and actually get a tattoo of someone he actually knows:
“A lot of people go and get tattoos of people they don’t know. Why not tattoo someone I know?”
Check out the video below:
For the life of me, I don’t understand why people do this. Isn’t a wedding ring a better symbol of commitment and loyalty anyway?
I never got the whole tat thing either. If you love someone that much, just get married.
Aww I don’t know why they just won’t be real and admit they are together. 🙂
Exactly. It’s so obvious.
They are taking a page out of Bey and Jay’s book. Everyone is nowadays. They figure they can protect their relationship by not talking about it. The logic makes sense I guess. For the most part you never hear anything about Nicki and SB.
No need to deny the relationship now. Ain’t no man going to tattoo no chick’s face to his arm if he’s not with her. LOL.
The tat artist did a great job. It looks just like the picture.
So yeah, they are DEFINITELY together. But at least he’s been down before Nicki even blew up.
That tat is dope. I’m scared to get tats of the people I date because people usually break up after they get the tattoo. It’s like a curse or something. LOL.
They have been together forever. Even after he hit her in the face with that suitcase….
LOL Barbee is going to get you if you don’t chill.
It’s a nice tat. But I think it’s kind of lame to tattoo someone’s face on your body. Just saying…
Well she keeps his bills paid, so I get the dedication.
Seriously? I don’t get why anyone does this. Do you really need your boo’s entire face on your body for them to feel loved? Come on people.
