Cliff Dixon Calls Out ‘Clout Chasing’ Ex Erica Mena, Accuses Her and Safaree of ‘Stealing’ from Him

It appears that a battle of the exes is in full swing.

Erica Mena‘s ex-boyfriend, former basketball player Cliff Dixon, had quite the message for her and her fiancé Safaree Samuels. The 31-year-old took to his Instagram story Wednesday, Jan. 30, and accused the couple of purloining his items and selling them.

“Since you’ve got the police involved I tried to do s–t the right way & come pick up my TVs & rims & you say they ain’t there,” Dixon wrote. “How ya’ll sposed to have so much money but yall stealing from me.”

Dixon also claimed that the “Love and Hip Hop” star was still reaching out to those close to him who haven’t “blocked” her. He also called his girlfriend a “clout” chaser by saying she was “still flexin for the Gram.” He also claimed either Samuels or Mena recorded him on their mobile phones while he tried to retrieve his item. He added, “Just give a n–ga his s–t & go be happy.”

Mena indirectly responded to Dixon by commenting underneath laughing emojis under a fan’s comment on Instagram that read, “Every time you move on they swear they left something at your house lol.”

Samuels has posted Super Bowl flyers on his Instagram page since Dixon’s shots but has yet to address the former basketball player.

Last year, Mena and Dixon called it quits after dating for more than 10 months. The couple officially broke up in October after they were arrested and hauled off to jail in the Atlanta suburb of Johns Creek. Mena was put behind bars after officers discovered marijuana and THC wax inside her bedroom and kitchen.

Meanwhile Dixon was arrested for criminal trespass after an unidentified individual called the cops to report a domestic dispute. Those who were at the scene when authorities arrived told them that Mena and Dixon had been fighting. The 31-year-old allegedly kicked in the bathroom door the reality star had locked herself in. Although there was no visible bruising or marks on either party, cops took Dixon to jail for damaging Mena’s property.

Not long after she was released from jail, the 30-year-old mother addressed the situation by posting on Instagram, “A strong woman loves, forgives, walks away,” while adding, ” At this time I have all my family and friends by my side.”

A month later after her alleged dispute with Dixon, Mena was seen dating Samuels.

 

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.
