‘U a Damn Fool’: Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena Fans Crack Up at Their Recreated Pose of This Famous Couple

Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena went all out for Halloween this year and decided to pose as one of Hollywood’s favorite couples, the Wests.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” couple decided to pay special homage to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West by recreating their infamous 2013 Met Gala look. Kardashian, who was pregnant at the time, wore a floral Givenchy dress, while the “Jesus Walks” rapper stuck to the basics with a black tux.

Mena, who’s currently with child, wore a similar dress, plus a pair of matching gloves, and Samuels sported an identical tuxedo to West’s, and also mimicked the Chicago artist’s baffled look. The coupled apparently used a digital cropping tool to insert themselves in Kardashian and West’s place on the Met Gala red carpet, which upped the effect a notch.

Samuels captioned one of his posts, “🎃 Happy Halloween From the 2013 met gala The Samuels West. Hey @kimkardashian tell Kanye I said Waddup 😤.”
