‘Where the Baby At?’: Erica Mena’s Sexy Pic Derails After Fans Ask to See Her and Safaree’s Newborn Daughter

Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels‘ fans are clearly anxious to see what the couple’s child looks like.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” pair have kept their newborn daughter’s identity under cover despite social media users begging to see the baby.

On Tuesday, April 14 the new mother took to Instagram and posted a sexy photo that showed her sporting a gold corset top with curve-hugging jeans. She wore her hair in loose waves and did away with a full face of makeup. She seductively posed on her stairway and captioned her post, “Almost forgot how bomb @fashionnova jeans fit 😏”

“Why dnt show pics of new baby. But post all time when was pregant?”

“You gorgeous.. Can you share a picture of your baby”

“Have they announced what’s they’re daughter name yet ??🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️”

“Where the Baby at⁉️⁉️”

“You go girl you snap back beautifully 🤗😘. I hope we get to see the baby soon”

Mena and Samuels welcomed their daughter in February, just four months after tying the knot last October. The infant, whose name they have yet to reveal, is their first child together. Mena has a son from a previous relationship.

Mena and her husband don’t plan on revealing their child’s identity to the media anytime soon. As a matter of fact, the 32-year-old model responded to a fan via Twitter, who expressed excitement to see the baby.

On Feb. 25, Mena responded, “Maybe one day but honestly don’t wait on it. Showing her isn’t part of our plan at all.”

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.
