‘Mendeecees Made Me Do It’: Yandy Smith-Harris Steps Out to Celebrate Hubby’s Birthday

Yandy Smith-Harris is getting a lot of attention with her outfit for her husband Mendeecees’ birthday. In an Oct. 29 photo, uploaded to Instagram, Yandy showed off her chosen attire for her man’s special day.

In the picture, she is wearing a black skin-tight jumpsuit, with gold shoes, a necklace, and a bracelet to match. Yandy added a tan MCM Worldwide hat and bag, along with an MCM Worldwide leather belt, to make the outfit pop. Leaning on the wall, she poses to the side in her first picture. In the second, she stands straight and smiles while grabbing her hat.

She captioned the photo, “Baby girl stepped out for the bday…@mendeecees made me do it.”

One fan wrote, “You’re always been fine but you’ve been glowing since your husband has come home.”

Another joked, “That M Stands for MENDEECEE I SEE U YANDY…… Branding yo Man.”

“It’s the…..EVERYTHING FOR ME,” another added.

The “Love and Hip Hop” star uploaded a second post, this time with her husband. Mendeecees wore an outfit of mostly denim and, matching his wife, his hat, jacket, and jeans were all from MCM Worldwide as well.

In the caption of that photo, Yandy wrote, “He turned 25 again so We decided to party like we 25 again! @mendeecees.”

Mendeecees turned 42 this year on Oct. 26, and Yandy went all out for her hubby’s birthday. On that day he posted to Instagram an all-smiles picture of himself sitting atop a white motorcycle. 

A day later, Yandy posted the same shot and revealed that she bought the motorcycle for him.

In the caption, she wrote, “We not into Birkins so much but we do like seeing eachother smile! Pick the one you want my credit is good! Happy Bday @mendeecees.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
