Previously, a video surfaced of Safaree Samuels being jumped by alleged members of Meek Mill's crew. Safaree did not stay too close to fight, as he ran off away from the angry crew members. According to TMZ, Meek Mill's crew made it clear to Safaree that he should stay away from the BET Awards or else there would be problems for him. Despite getting word of the message, Safaree decided to show up anyways. Sources close to Safaree said the rapper and TV personality was not going to back down and hide.

Both of Nicki Minaj's ex-boyfriends were heading to DJ Khaled's pre-BET party in West Hollywood when the issues began. However, the issues between the two started way before, as both Meek and Safaree have been sending shots at each other for over a year. Since the incident went down, Meek Mill denied any type of involvement in the altercation. However, because of the incident, Safaree went on to challenge the Philly rapper to a one-on-one fist fight.
