Nicki Minaj’s “Bed of Lies”
When it was time to work on her third album, Nicki Minaj didn’t have to look far for inspiration. All she had to do was draw inspiration from her love life. She had just broken up with longtime boyfriend Safaree “SB” Samuels and expressed her feelings in the song “Bed of Lies.” She debuted the song while hosting last year’s MTV’s European’s Music Awards. She rapped, “You was caught up in the rush, and you was caught up in the thrill of it/You was with me way before I hit a quarter mil’ in it/Put you in the crib and you ain’t never pay a bill in it/I was killin’ it, man you got me poppin’ pills in it.”
