‘Drooling Over Here’: Erica Mena Goes Au Natural and Fans Loose It

Posted byBy Tanasia Kenney | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Reality star Erica Mena is (almost) baring it all in a recent Instagram post, and now fans are begging for more.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” alum posed, sun-kissed and au natural, in a photo showing off her freshly corn-rowed hairstyle. It appears Mena, 31, was wearing nothing but a smile and a pair of diamond stud earrings.

“Woke up fine as hell again ……… it’s getting outta control 😌,” she captioned the post, adding “hair [by]: @styledby_yalemichelle.”

It wasn’t long before fans inundated her page with sweet compliments.

“🤤 Drooling over here 🔥🔥🔥,” one fan wrote.

“So bad omg 😍😍😍😍😍🙌🏽💯💯 @iamerica_mena,” wrote another.

“Can you do a skincare routine?,” one woman asked, referring to Mena’s make-up free look. “Your skin in flawless.”

“Waking up like this beautiful, any man would love to be in your life,” one fan commented, while another pointed out that Mena’s braids resembled those of late West Cost rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Others couldn’t help but notice the reality’ star’s effortless glow, despite her alleged troubles with fiancé and fellow “Love and Hip-Hop” star Safaree Samuels.The couple announced their engagement and plans to start a family earlier this year, however, it seems their relationship has hit the rocks.

Breakup rumors started swirling late last month after the pair suddenly stopped posting photos and videos of each other on social media, which they did early on in their relationship. Fans also noticed that Mena and Samuels hadn’t commented on one another’s photos either, a signal to many that there could be trouble in paradise.

It’s clear Men isn’t sweating the small stuff, nor is she letting the rumors stop her shine.

“Yesss, I love your confidence,” one fan commented. “So fuckin’ attractive🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“THIS energy,” another wrote.

“Yes you did,” one fan wrote in response to Mena’s caption. “Now go sit yo FOINE ass down somewhere Safari a lucky dude 🙏🏿💪🏿🔥💯”

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.
