Nicki Minaj knows how to Safaree Samuels down.

Samuels' single "Love the Most" was dropped Wednesday, in which he rapped about the demise of their 12-year relationship. "You ain't do it all alone / We took ourselves up out the hood," Samuels rapped. "Yeah, we made it on the rise / Ain't no green in my eyes / 'Cause we both went to sleep in the same bed of lies."

A snippet of the track leaked online, so Samuels rush-released it on iTunes.

Minaj's scorned lover also accused her of being ashamed of their relationship. "What a shame / It took a split for them to know I was your man / Got so tired of hidin' it / Head high with no pride in it / Guess I wasn't cool enough cause in our pictures we hidin' it," he rapped. Later on, he added, "Twelve years up in flames / Thought you woulda had my kid / Year 3 got engaged / Now we movin' out of rage."

Another line called attention to Minaj's kiss with Nas in her "Ride by My Side" music video. "I had to watch you kiss Nas and pretend it's all cool," he rapped. "Inside I was feeling like a motherf--kin' fool."

The relationship revelations didn't end there, of course. In the third and final verse, Samuels rapped, "I ain't playin' tit for tat / I don't wanna pull you down / I'm not into circus acts and I don't even like clowns / I ain't even gonna front like I never watch your show / And I'm still your biggest fan / And I don't need a front row / Yeah, I know I'm not perfect / You was payin' all the bills / You remember what you told me when you wasn't on the pill? / If the shoe was on the other foot / I'd make sure you're straight / I ain't playin' kiddy games / And I ain't fallin' for the bait / Tell your mama, tell your brothers, I still love them like my own / I don't bother reachin' out because it's too close to home / But now we're not together / I don't feel you wish the best / Can't believe we not friends / SMH, what a mess."

He also called out Minaj's romance with musician Meek Mill. "That's between me and you, it was always me and you / We ain't do this off opinions / It was only me and you / Then you let somebody new come and whisper in your ear / Didn't think he woulda told you that was my biggest fear," Samuels rapped.

Hours after the song's release, Minaj responded via Twitter.

"God gave me a good heart. I always let ppl get over on me way too long. But that's why I'm blessed. I'll always b blessed. May God keep u," she told Samuels and her 19.4 million followers. Adding salt to the wound, the "Truffle Butter" rapper reminded Samuels that she's happier dating Mill. "And just for the record, I'm in love with meek," she wrote, adding, "Lol and now I have a huge smile on my face."

The Barbershop 3 actress downplayed the drama in another tweet, writing, "Making a 12 yr relationship work at such young ages? We're BOTH the real MVP. things got rocky at the end but we had a GREAT run. #B4Ujudge."

Samuels has yet to respond.
