‘This is A Mess’: Safaree and Erica Mena Are Allegedly Dating, Spotted at Basketball Game Dressed Alike

“Love and Hip Hop” stars Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena are allegedly the new couple on the block after they were cozied-up on the basketball court together.

It’s no secret that Samuels has been searching for another woman to settle down with every since his breakup with rapper Nicki Minaj in 2014. He’s made numerous social media posts on his desires of getting married and it seems like his prayers may have been answered.

A fan noticed Samuels and Mena together at the Jazz-Nets game on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The pair appeared extremely flirty with one another as they held hands while leaving the stadium. They were also wearing matching fur coats.

Neither Samuels or the model have confirmed or denied the relationships rumors, but hours before attending the game, Mena took to Twitter about having a new love interest in her life.

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.
