Video footage from the latest episode of “Love and Hip Hop: Miami” showed Safaree Samuels going crazy over his castmate Marcus Black, and fans are calling it his R. Kelly moment.

Many people immediately connected with the rapper, who recently said on the “Keep It A Stack” podcast that the sight of Nicki Minaj kissing Nas in the music video cut his heart, one among the most iconic emotional outbursts an artist has made in modern history.

“I’m fighting for my mother – royal life, man. I’m fighting for my life, Marcus. They’re killing me. I’m fighting for my life,” said an angry Safaree during the March episode. “These girls. They discuss me all the time and it is not a game. This is my life.”

Part of Samuels’ storyline this season is his love triangle between Amara La Negra and Eliza Reign. Last season, he dated Amara and even cashed in on Rolex watches for her twin daughters. They later had a falling out and now he has moved on with Reign, who can also be the mother of one among rapper Future’s eight children.

The ladies were in the means of constructing a friendship when Amara, who had no idea about Eliza and Samuels dating, revealed that she had a song with him. Eliza then revealed that Samuels told her that he and Amara were never together. To help his friend determine why he was dating women in his same circle, Marcus called a gathering.

“When will you stop talking nonsense, bro? When did you go, throw it away? – he said to Samuels.

After his outburst, Samuels runs out the glass doors of the restaurant/bar where the scene was filmed, leaving Marcus sitting alone to grasp what happened.

Like many viewers, he made one obvious popular culture reference – linking the Queens rapper’s dramatic pain to that of disgraced Grammy winner R. Kelly.

Marcus immediately picked up the phone to call someone. He explained that he was sitting with Samuels and thought there can be a breakthrough between them soon when all of it ended.

“He acts like no one ever gets to hear my side of the story,” Marcus says, before sharing, “He gets up and throws R. Kelly at me.”

Fans on social media could I am unable to help but drag this flamboyant rapper and father of two to his show.

“R. “Kelly is falling over in her cell,” one person said, while one other wrote: “Please stop airing these shows. Not Robert Kelly’s style. An Instagram user modified his name to “Ok Safaree Kelly.”

At one point, VH1 jumped into the comments and tried to make clear, writing, “He’s so frivolous,” but it surely didn’t matter because people began posting about how lame and corny they thought Samuels was by uttering the now-infamous line.

“Ph-k Boy Safaree and his bad R. Kelly impression smh #LAHHM,” one X user tweeted.

In 2019, before she was convicted of RICO charges related to sexual abuse of minors, R. Kelly was interviewed by Gayle King on “CBS Mornings” and broke down as she peppered him with difficult questions on his relationship with those accusing him of crimes.

He said, “Stop fooling around. I didn’t do these items. It was not me. I’m fighting for my fucking life. You guys are killing me with this shit.

Screaming that he had given the world 30 years of his profession, King calmly called him by name “Robert” and in vain encouraged him to calm down.

“You’re all attempting to kill me. You’re killing me, man. It’s not about the music,” said the “R&B Pied Piper” before finally sitting down and freshening up his makeup.

“It was a happy day, but an incomplete period in my life,” she added. “Today I’m grateful to God for giving me the most precious gift. “Robert is extremely excited to hear that I’m having a baby and is sad that Robert won’t be able to be here with us.”

Kelly’s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, disputed Savage’s claims at the time, telling TMZ Savage “is certainly not pregnant with R. Kelly’s child.” By the time Savage’s baby was announced, the disgraced singer had already been in prison for months.

Broke and destitute, Kelly is currently in prison. He was convicted on three federal counts of manufacturing child pornography and three counts of soliciting a minor to have interaction in sexual intercourse in Chicago, and in February 2023 was sentenced to twenty years in federal prison, with a one-year extension to the 30-year term previously imposed in the Eastern District of New York, According to to the Department of Justice.
