“You have to know who you are with and what you are willing to put up with,” he said. “For me, support comes naturally. So if I have a ‘connect’ or can make a phone call to help someone out, I will in a heartbeat. The same gesture applies to who I’m dating. Growing up, I wanted to be an MC. But I put my dreams aside to play the role of the supportive boyfriend.”
While dating Nicki for more than ten years, he was known as being her hype man for the early days of her fame and well into many peaks of her success. Since their spilt more than a year ago, he has decided to release his own music and focus on his own career.
He went on to say, “The relationship isn’t going to work out for the man who has a short fuse or can’t handle being told what to do. A lot of men look for women they can mold into what will fit into their lives, but you can’t do that with a strong-minded woman. If you’re going to be with her, you have to be okay with her running the show at times.”
He continued and said that being “supportive” doesn’t equal being a yes man.
“We are there to say ‘yes this is a good idea’ or ‘no, this may not work.’”
But Samuels added that a woman of this stature might have a hard time putting a line between boyfriend/husband and employee as he emphasized how important respect and communication is.
“Let a man be a man,” he said. “You have to know when to turn it off and be affectionate. Your man doesn’t want to feel bossed around the bedroom. He wants to feel loved, respected and desired.”
He then suggested that couples counseling might not be a bad idea for those who struggle with this.
