Early Life
Safaree first introduced himself as a member of a hip-hop group, the Hoodstars, in 2000. He was a member of the group along with Seven Up, Lou$tar, and Nicki Minaj. Their entrance song for the WWE Diva Victoria, Don’t Mess With, was what made the group famous worldwide in 2004. The song was also featured on the highly popular compilation album, ThemeAddict: WWE The Music, Vol 6.
After the group’s disbandment, Safaree and Nicki Minaj decided to go solo. Six years after the break up, Safaree started working on his own solo project. He debuted with a co-written single, Did it On’em, on Nicki Minaj’s debut studio album. He continued to support Minaj and co-write songs for her albums until 2014 when he decided to fully go solo.
Career
Safaree released his debut and highly critically acclaimed mixtapes, It Is What It Is and It Is What It Is, Vol 2. He also appeared in the second season of K. Michelle: My Life. He also decided to pursue his television and musical careers at the same time. Safaree earned himself a Blue & Bougie Impact Award in 2018.
In the News

She still said yes and the couple is happily married making plans to have kids.
