Nicki Minaj's ex threatens suicide over breakup

 Nicki Minaj's ex-boyfriend  is taking their break-up incredibly hard ... to the point he's having suicidal thoughts. A few days ago, Nicki Minaj opened up on how hard it is to live without him.They dated for 12 years way long before the fame..

"My relationship was based off of love, and there still is nothing but love there, "This is not some person I picked up off the street. This is somebody I grew up with.Like, I don’t even know how I’m gonna function without that person in my life. I’ve never lived my life as a famous person without him.”I don’t think people realize it’s not just a relationship or breakup. That was a humongous part of my life,”It is something that I am dealing with publicly and it’s not easy. I’m also not gonna joke about it or try to disrespect him and try to act like he didn’t mean the world to me and still doesn’t mean the world to me. I’m just figuring it out.”

According to TMZ Safaree Samuels is confiding in friends that he's an emotional wreck over his breakup with Nicki after a 12-year relationship. He's become a shut-in, spends days and nights smoking weed, and has talked openly about suicide.

Safaree is telling friends he won't get in touch with Nicki because she's now hooked up with Meek Mill. He says it's torture for him, because he believes Meek Mill destroyed his relationship with Nicki over false claims he cheated.

Safaree's friends say they're scared these are more than idle threats. They've urged him to see a shrink. The problem ... he's seeing one whom he says has been giving him meds that make him even more emotional.
