Only a couple of days after celebrating Meek Mill's birthday, Nicki Minaj's good time came to an end when she was served with a lawsuit filed by her ex, Safaree Samuels.

The "Starships" singer took to Twitter to vent her frustrations and anger and said she felt Samuels only filed it to "extort" her. "Tweeted on the 5th that the 6th was my baby's bday. Celebrated on the 6th for his bday (publicly). Served w/a lawsuit on the 9th. lol."

In another tweet, Minaj wrote: "Two years later this poor excuse of a man is suing me & claiming to have been physically & emotionally abused. Lol. He's so miserable."

Minaj and Samuels dated for 12 years before breaking up in 2014. Eventually Minaj moved on with rapper Mill, but in her Twitter spree Minaj claimed Samuels wouldn't let her be happy in her new relationship. "You can't even celebrate your happiness anymore w/o being victimized. Miserable ppl refuse to move on w/their lives," she continued. "My man asked him to stop emailing me. I also asked him several times. This man can't move on. It's really sad. I have the emails to prove it."

The 33-year-old musician also claimed Samuels stole money from her, but she chose not to prosecute. Based on her tweets, however, that might change. "LIKE I CANT EVEN CELEBRATE MY MAN BDAY W/O THIS MISERABLE SON OF A BITCH TRYING TO EXTORT ME!!!!!" she tweeted. "Caught him stealing money and never prosecuted him!!!! Now I'm DOING IT. ENOUGH!!!!!!"

Throughout the remainder of her Twitter spree, Minaj promised Samuels would "regret every lie" he has said about her.
