TMZ Producer Says There's Footage of Nicki Chasing Safaree With Knife

Yesterday Safaree Samuels claimed he almost died after Nicki Minaj cut him with a knife while they were dating. TMZ’s Van Lathan now says a video exists of Nicki chasing her ex with a knife.

Nicki Minaj and her ex Safaree Samuels engaged in an all-out Twitter war on Tuesday, bringing to light some dark accusations. In one tweet, Samuels claimed he almost died after Onika once cut him with a knife.

Remember the night you cut me and i almost died the police and ambulance had to take me out the crib on a stretcher and I had to lie and tell them I was trying to kill myself so they wouldn't take you to jail. When things like that start happening more Than once it's time to dip.

Now, TMZ’s Van Lathan claims there is video of Nicki chasing Safaree with a knife from 2014.

“We’ve actually seen the video here at TMZ, back in 2014, that shows Nicki chasing Safaree with a knife,” Lathan told Power 106. “We should say, don’t know what happened after that. Couples get into it, sometimes things get heated. There’s no reason why you should be chasing someone with a knife, but we don’t know if Nicki actually stabbed him with a knife.”

I should’ve never paid for that gyatDamn hairline!!!! It fell back out cuz God don’t like ugly!!!! You used me but God had other plans!!!!!

It’s unclear if TMZ or Power 106 has any plans of trying to surface the video in question, but regardless Nicki is unlikely to face any legal troubles for the alleged domestic violence against her ex. 

“It doesn’t seem that he’s going to want to press charges,” Lathan said. “If he wanted to press charges, he would have pressed them then.”

The Twitter feud began when Samuels responded to Nicki’s interview with Hot 97. It spiraled into a conversation about Safaree's and Tyga’s hairlines, and Nicki allegedly cheating on him with Meek.

We know each other inside out. Everything there was for us. I didn't use your card for prostitutes. We both didn't trust each other. You did shit I did shit. You said you were messing with meek a few years b4 y'all got together and I'm not mad at that.

Nicki replied to Safaree, without addressing the deadly knife situation, and it’s unclear if she plans to speak on it.
