Despite Nicki Minaj and ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels' public Twitter spats over the past few months that resulted in an exchange of harsh words between the former longtime couple, Samuels is now admitting that he's feeling hurt over the "Anaconda" rapper's relationship with fellow musician Meek Mill.

Urban Islandz reports that Minaj sent social media into a frenzy earlier this week when she posted two photos of herself getting close and personal with new, confirmed beau Meek Mill, whom she has been rumored to be dating since the end of 2014.

One of the photos in question shows the rapper planting a kiss on Minaj's cheek, while another photo shows the couple having a low-key dinner date together.

Sources close to Minaj's ex reveal that, despite harsh words exchanged between him and his former love, he is "really hurt" by the photos.

"Beezy [Safaree Samuels] is a good guy and he is really hurt by the photos and by what she is doing," the source admits. "She is going around dissing SB and sucking up to Meek Mill when a few weeks ago she wanted to work things out. How does she expect to be taken seriously."

However, the source continues that Samuels is turning to music to help him cope with his emotions, revealing, "Music is what he does best so instead of being depressed about it, he is spending a lot of time in the studio working on his mixtape."
