Fans Call Erica Mena a ‘Clown’ for Quickly Reconciling with Safaree Amid Cheating Scandal

After a week of apparent relationship drama, “Love and Hip Hop” stars Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels have seemingly rekindled their love.

Last Thursday, it seemed the pair were over for good after Samuels’ ex-girlfriend and LHHMIA star Gabrielle Davis seemingly exposed him for cheating on his fiancée Mena. The rumors appeared to gain credibility when the 31-year-old model filmed herself trashing bouquet of flowers presumably sent by Samuels and him publicly apologizing to her multiple times on social media this weekend.

However, the pair have seemingly worked through their relationship woes since the dust-up and are back together. Samuels, who deleted his Instagram account for one day following the scandal, took to his reactivated account and posted a photo of himself and Mena from their date night on Sunday.

Placing his hand on her derriere as both dressed in blue and white, he wrote via Instagram, “Sorry to crush you guys in her DM’s dreams but I’m still here 😩❤️🍆😇 #yallsavages 😂.”

Amid their apparent split, the “No Regular Girl” rapper issued a series of tweets Friday evening and Saturday morning, apologizing to Mena for his indiscretions and embarrassing her.

“I’ve lost a lot [before] and dealt with it.. but seriously I cannot lose you.,” he wrote on Twitter. “I have never felt so complete in my life and that feeling will be gone if I lose you. You are my everything and I can’t see my future without you. Please Erica.”

He followed up with another tweet, saying, “I apologize for any embarrassment I have brought to you for me being immature. I apologize from the depth of my soul & heart.”

Mena ostensibly accepted her fiancé’s apologies, and they seemingly confirmed their wedding was still on.

Social media, on the other hand, had mixed reactions to the couple seemingly getting back together.

“I’m here for this!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️Love you two😘 don’t mess up on her again Safaree!! She loves you!”

“Damn that was quick af! She dumb.. Y’all crazy. Do anything for clout!!”

“😂 damn Erica you did all that just to take that nigga back you clown hope you don’t embarrass you again.”

“You begged good enough to still be here I can’t imagine all the snot and crying you did Safaree 😂.”

“Reality TV script they must be coming back to love and hip hop smh people do anything for a storyline smfh.”

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.
