Safaree Admits to Crossing the Line with Lyrica Anderson: ‘I Didn’t Mean for It to Happen’

“Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” viewers were shocked to learn that Safaree and Lyrica Anderson may have been doing a little more than just texting.

During Monday’s night episode of “LHHH” things got intense for the “Hunnid” rapper after his buddy Ray J. was pressuring him about “smashing” Anderson. Safaree and the 29-year-old both admitted to texting one another for business affairs but denied allegations of it being anything more.

However, Ray ultimately squeezed the truth out of Safaree and said that Anderson already confessed to her husband A1 that she and the Jamaican native slept together.

You know you smashed,” Ray J said. “What did you do?”

Safaree’s unexpected response stunned viewers, “Like I didn’t mean for it to happen, it’s just we be talking and we were supposed to get on a song.”

The “One Wish” singer was clearly disappointed by his friend’s actions and fans trashed Safaree for going behind A1’s back to sleep with his wife.

“I really liked Safaree! Now, I lost a lot of respect for him. Like WHYYYYY you gotta do that to your boy,” one person asked in disappointment.

“Damn this is messed up,still got mouth to say A1 his boy🙄,” one fan said.

“He ain’t your boy if u smashed his wife..like come on.”

“Damn Safaree that was low. Somebody told me years ago when your friends have a man or woman you should always look at them as your brother or sister.”

One fan added, “Ur so wrong for that @iamsafaree I’m so disappointed 😞.”

The rumor about Safaree and Anderson began after K. Michelle accused the “Selfish” singer of trying to sleep with the rapper. She denied the allegations and it engulfed into multiple fights with her friends.

Safaree definitely crossed the line with Lyrica after admitting to sending her a picture of his “eggplant.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
