‘Ya’ll Over that Quick?’: Fans Prod Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels on Alleged Split

A wave of breakup rumors have been surrounding “Love and Hip Hop” couple Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels.

The pair haven’t posted any photos or videos of each other on social media, which apparently is quite unusual. Fans also noticed the couple haven’t commented on each other’s photos seemingly compared to when they did earlier on in their relationship.

Mena’s last photo of Samuels was posted on April 12, and the rapper’s last image of his fiancée was April 24. According, to gossip site Media Takeout, the model allegedly shaded Samuels on her Instagram story, supposedly indicating she wanted to be loved properly.

“I want more women to experience love that doesn’t involve suffering first and being glorified later,” the post read.

Fans probed Mena and Samuels in their comments, asking about their alleged split.

“Damnnnn u and @iamsafaree don’t post each other no more 🤔.. y’all broke up that quick.”

“Where’s Erica your not posting Erica ever 5 mins? Ya’ll over that quick.”

“What’s up with you and your Latina lover 👀?”

“Dang ya’ll over that quick?”

Others reassured the pair were still together.

“🙄 just because they don’t post each other everyday doesn’t mean they ain’t together anymore, jeez y’all miserable.”

“They haven’t broken up they probably just don’t do all that on social media anymore.”

Following the rumors of their alleged breakup earlier this week, Mena took to her Twitter Thursday evening and tweeted, “Miss my man 😞.”

She also reposted an Atlanta DJ playing Samuels’ song “No Regular Girl,” where she was featured as his leading lady in the video.

If that wasn’t enough proof that the pair are seemingly still together, a fan asked him why he hadn’t posted Mena on his page in a while, to which the model herself responded, “🙄 Y’all be way to concern about other people instead of yourselves. I will never understand that.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
