‘Is This True?’: Joe Budden Claims Safaree Samuels Called It Quits With Fiancée Erica Mena

Joe Budden is claiming that the breakup rumors surrounding Safaree Samuels and his fiancée Erica Mena are true.

Fans speculated the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” couple broke up a few weeks ago after noticing the two haven’t posted any photos or videos of each other on social media, which apparently is quite unusual. Folks also claimed the model shaded Samuels on her Instagram Story earlier this month, seemingly indicating that she wanted to be loved properly.

To add more fire to the flame, the twosome’s archnemesis Budden recently claimed the rumors were true, saying that it was the “Hunnid” rapper who broke up with Mena.

“Oh speaking of smoke, you brought up Safaree broke up with Erica,” Budden said during the latest episode of his podcast “The Joe Budden Podcast With Rory & Mal.”

Budden’s co-star Mal then made reference to the podcaster and Samuels’ recent beef over Mena and his now ex-fiancée Cyn Santana.

“Look how life works both of you niggas was ready to fight in the sand … and now ya’ll both single. Now ya’ll can be back cool,” to which the “Pump It Up” rapper seemingly nodded to in a yes manner.

Budden’s claims follow a week after Mena denied reports of her and Samuels’ alleged split. Last week, gossip site Media Take Out reported the model broke up with her fiancé after one of their sources claimed he’d been texting his ex-girlfriend and Mega-rapper Nicki Minaj.

Mena however addressed the allegations with a tweet, writing, “FYI to all you flogs if my “ Fiancé “ were to EVER get caught texting any female but me he wouldn’t be able to walk right now. Believe dat! Sincerely a real crazy Latina.”

The “Hunnid” rapper also tweeted a photo of Mena on his Twitter timeline Sunday evening and wrote, “I miss my f–king woman 😡 🤬.”

His fiancée then retweeted, “@IAMSAFAREE I got plans for you once I get home 😋.”

It seems the couple may still be together, but fans aren’t sure who or what to believe.

“Joe you lookin real miserable right now son i don’t believe him 🙄.”

“Joe just cuz Cyn broke up wit u don’t mean everyone else broke up too.”

“I really feel Mona Scott forced them together for a story line n even Safaree wasent with it no more either… i think joe tell da truth 🤷.”

“I believe it 100% I already thought they broke up …. they ain’t shouting each other out EVERYDAY OR COMMENTING n Joe ain’t just gone lie.”

“Is this true? Idk if Joe is mad bcuz he n Cyn broke up or if Erica n Safaree broke up🤦.”

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.
