‘Want to See That Baby’: Erica Mena Posts Sexy Pic, Restless Fans Sound Off

“Love & Hip Hop New York” reality star Erica Mena is bringing sexy back three months following the birth of her daughter with husband and fellow reality star Safaree Samuels. 

Last week the 32-year-old posted several photos of herself in an all-white one-piece swimsuit. 

“Summer of 2020, just so you know, I’m not letting you ruin my plans!” Mena wrote, hinting that she isn’t letting the novel coronavirus stop her from having fun this summer.

Fans were left salivating over Mena’s post-baby gallery photos as the swimsuit exposed her deep cleavage, snatched waist, and cakes. 

“🔥 I’m over you and this hot body after the baby, 😤 lol 😍😍😍😍.”

“Wow, you good great after having a baby!”

“Snatched AF‼️” 

“Come thru with the snapback slay …🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” 

“Well, I don’t look like that after having a baby 😩,” a fan wrote. 

“It’s okay. We are all different. But nothing is impossible! Put your mind to it, and it can get done 👑🌹,” Mena responded to her fan. 

Fawning over Mena’s body had one fan desperately wanting to know Mena’s snapback workout secrets. 

“MENAAAA ! 😘😘😘😘 What’s the tea on the workouts, cause girl you serving BAWDYY OKAY,” the fan asked the reality diva. 

“I got something coming for you, ladies. I want y’all to join me. Just want to put it together properly. Nothing but the best for us! 👑,” the mother of two wrote, possibly hinting at future workout videos.

Mena’s fans thirsted mainly over her physique, however, there were a few followers more eager to see Mena’s daughter than the infant’s mom. 

“I love u and all, but I want to see the baby.” 

“I wanna see that baby girl, 😂😍😍 you look cute, though ❤️.” 

This isn’t the first time Mena’s fans have asked why they can’t see her and Samuels’ baby.

On May 9, when she shared a photo of her holding baby Samuels, fans went into a frenzy over the feisty reality star hiding her daughter’s face. 

 “At least say her name. It’s not that serious, lol,” a fan wrote to Mena.

Being the outspoken Puerto Rican and Dominican woman Mena is, she clapped back at the fan, writing, “Exactly. Not that serious for you. Now enjoy the rest of your weekend.” 

Neither Mena or Samuels has revealed why they won’t share their daughter’s name or picture with the public.

The pair met on the VH1 reality show “Scared Famous,” but it took some time for Mena and the “Stunt Daddy” rapper to become an item.

“When we did scared famous, I use to say so many things jokingly not knowing it would become real life,” the MC wrote in a January 2019 post.

“I am so in love with you. The respect you give me, the way you uplift me and make me feel like a man is something people wouldn’t believe. I get to be with the real you, and I love every second of it,” he continued.

“You make me feel like I can do anything, and I love you so much for it. I don’t need to look any further because I found you.”

The two tied the knot on Oct. 7, 2019, before welcoming their daughter in 2020. Mena has a son from a previous relationship, while this is Samuels’ first child. 

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.
