''I caught him stealing money and never prosecuted him!'' - Nicki Minaj Blasts ex boyfriend Safaree Samuels as he sues her for 'emotional and physical abuse'

Nicki Minaj has lashed out at her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels - claiming that he's suing her for emotional and physical abuse.

The bitter exes dated for 12 years before splitting up in August 2014.

While Nicki has moved on with Meek Mill, she has alleged that Safaree hasn't and is instead trying to 'extort' her after filing a lawsuit.

The timing has particularly miffed Nicki as she claims she's been served with the papers while trying to celebrate Meek's birthday.

She vented: "Tweeted on the 5th that the 6th was my baby's bday. Celebrated on the 6th for his bday (publicly). Served w/a lawsuit on the 9th. lol.

Two years later this poor excuse of a man is suing me & claiming to have been physically & emotionally abused. Lol. He's so miserable.

Nicki claimed that Safaree has only been motivated to sue her because he doesn't want to work.

She also insisted that both her and Meek have requested that Safaree stop trying to contact Nicki but he's ignored them.

During the tirade Nicki alleged that Safaree had been motivated to sue her to land himself a reality show.
