During a recent interview with Big Boy, the artist formerly known as Kanye West shared that he pulled Safaree aside during a studio session to ask him if Nicki Minaj might be interested in a threesome with him and Amber Rose. Now, Safaree has confirmed that it went down just like Ye said.
Around the 1:15:30 mark of the interview above, Ye spoke about what he thought were some less-than-stellar bars from Swizz Beatz during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, which led to Big Boy highlighting the instance when Safaree rapped for Charlamagne to a tepid response. Ye then said that Nicki Minaj's breakthrough verse on My Dark Twisted Fantasy highlight "Monster" gave him the confidence to ask Safaree if he thought she would be down for a threesome with him and Amber Rose, Ye's girlfriend at the time.
"You know what's so messed up, it's like, he didn't really know they was together so he's down doing Dark Fantasy and he in the studio," Ye said. "I'm just thinking, she was a bad bitch. I'm like, 'Yo, Safaree, you think Nicki'll let me and Amber hit, like what she said.' This her man! Like, you gotta make these raps true. 'I think me, you, and Am' should ménage Friday.' I'm like... 'Ask your girl, can I get her number?'"
Of course, the lyric from "Monster" that Kanye was referring to goes as follows: "Besides, Ye, they can't stand besides me/I think me, you and Amb' should ménage Friday."
In a comment on DJ Akademiks' Instagram post highlighting the moment, Safaree confirmed that Ye was telling the truth. "😂😂😂😂😂😂 yea that happened," Safaree wrote. The 42-year-old dated Minaj for over a decade before they split in 2014.
Rose previously opened up about her first threesome experience in 2016. "It was a guy and it was a girl, and it was fucking horrible," she shared on an episode of Dr. Chris Donaghue's podcast. "I literally am having sleepless nights. It's horrible because, I'll be honest with you, I felt the pressure getting older to experience new things. I did it against my better judgment."
Earlier this month, Rose said she believes she should get credit for helping Ye put together My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, often regarded as the rapper's crowning achievement. “I don’t think I got credit for that,” Rose said on The Jason Lee! Show. "I mean, I didn’t do it for credit. And that’s not to take — Nicki, she’s amazing, when it comes to writing raps. Like, I’ve seen it in person. It’s a sight to see.”
Rose suggested she should have been paid around $20 million for her contribution. "But I got nothing," she continued, before mentioning when Kanye used a nude wax figure of her likeness in the video for "Famous" without her consent. "I should’ve gotten money for the wax figure that he used without my consent. Butt naked! But I didn’t get nothing. I didn’t get any money from anything. I should have been compensated in some way for using my likeness, and so many songs, and the wax figure."
