Did Nicki Minaj Split With Boyfriend?

Safaree Samuels removes tattoos of "Anaconda" rapper.

Nicki Minaj might be living the single life, according to a TMZ report. Her boyfriend/assistant Safaree Samuels was photographed shirtless recently, and two of his three tattoos of Minaj are missing.

Minaj’s portrait on his chest has been covered up, while another face shot of the rapper on his forearm is fading, indicating that it's being removed. 

Although Samuels is usually at Minaj's side, they never officially confirmed a non-platonic relationship. In March, Samuels tweeted that his life "revolves" around the "Anaconda" rapper. That same month, they went on what was rumored to be an anniversary trip to Mexico, celebrating 10 years together. Minaj was seen out and about with a huge rock on her ring finger in March as well.

By May, things were on the rocks. Minaj tweeted that she was “single and ready to mingle” reportedly following an argument with Samuels.
