I looked up "I be" meaning, and found out that is another way of saying "I am"
If so, Do these meanings have exactly the same usage and nuance?

I be is "dialectal, uneducated". Avoid it.

Besides being dialectical, I be might be subjunctive. But in modern English, you never need to use the subjunctive—there are always equivalent constructions. Don't use it unless you understand the subjunctive.
