Kanye West revealed that he wanted to have a threesome in the past with his then-girlfriend, Amber Rose and fellow rapper Nicki Minaj in a new interview on Big Boy TV on Friday. Joining him on the interview is Ty Dolla $ign whom he collaborated with for the studio album Vultures.Â
It appears that the wish of the rapper was referenced in 2010 by Nicki Ninja in her track, Monster. She had rapped about having a ‘ménage’ with Kanye and Amber Rose – with the cancelled rapper trying to make the song into a reality.
At one e point during the interview, Big Boy brought up the Jamaican-American rapper, Safaree – and Kanye West remembered approaching him about the threesome as they worked on his 2010 album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.Â
Then, the Yeezy founder was dating Amber Rose and Safaree was in a relationship with Minaj – which he claimed to have been unaware of. ‘You know what’s so messed up like is like, we didn’t know they were together,’ Ye explained.Â
‘So, we down doing Dark Fantasy and he in the studio…I’m like, “Yo, Safaree, you think Nicki would let me and Amber hit? Like what she said?”‘Â He then added, ‘This her man!’ causing the host to burst out in laughter. Kanye West jokingly concluded, ‘Like, you gotta make these raps true!’Â
Following the interview, DJ Akademiks shared a snippet of the interview to his main Instagram page and wrote in the caption, ‘Ye says he was tryna have a threesome with Nicki and Amber Rose.’ Safaree jumped to the comment section to confirm the story and typed, ‘yea that happened,’ along with laughing face emojis. Â
The Donda rapper had dated Amber Rose from 2008 until the pair went their separate ways two years later in 2010. Safaree notably had a long-term relationship with Minaj which began in 2000 and ended in 2014. Both Safaree and Nicki were part of the hip-hop group, Hoodstars, in the early 2000s – and also included rappers Loustar and Seven Up.Â
The interview follows after the musical duo headlined the LA-based hip-hop festival called Rolling Loud earlier this week on Thursday. But did not perform live. Instead, tracks from their latest collaboration played while they jumped about the stage. According to the Los Angeles Times, ‘Kanye West roamed around in a black jacket and a face mask as their songs played over the festival’s sound system.’
‘Fans on social media were outraged by the display, with many taking to X to vent their frustration. ‘Sounds like you guys disappointed your fans AGAIN with Kanye and at this point it feels like a literal scam,’ one fan posted to Rolling Loud. ‘Wow horrible “performance” and they didn’t drop the album does this get any better,’ snapped another. ‘If you brought him to do that may as well not bring him at all,’ posted one.
