‘She Is Brave’: Safaree Samuels Helps Daughter Ride an ATV in Adorable Video

Safaree Samuels is riding dirty with his little mini-me. On Sunday, Feb. 21, he uploaded a photo with him sitting on top of his white all-terrain vehicle while his one-year-old daughter sat atop her own small green ATV.

In the caption, he wrote, “You riding or hiding?!?!!? Make room on the road when you see this 1 year old 12 ‘ 0 clock coming at you 😤😤 @safiremajesty thanks uncle @majorleegue for maje’s raptor 700!”

Fans raved about how cute Safire Majesty looked sitting on her ride. One person said, “So cute she’s not even scared I love it ❤️❤️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️.” Another fan also addressed how fearless she looked, writing, “She is to brave! You better not have her popping wheelies by time she’s 5 lol.”

Samuels even received the title “Daddy of the year,” for his cute daddy-daughter photo.

Before uploading the photo, the “Love and Hip Hop” star posted a short video of his daughter riding the ATV. In it, he shows her how to push her foot down on the vehicle to make it go, and after a few times of him showing her, she eventually gets it on her own. Erica Mena, Samuels’ wife and mother of his child, is recording the exciting moment while laughing at her daughter after discovering that she was leaning to one side to reach the pedal because her body is so small.

Speaking of Mena, she too faced her fears and rode on the ATV with her husband riding along with her. Flexing his skills, the video starts with him doing a wheelie trick while Mena just laughs and screams. Apparently, it was a great day for Samuels, and he even talked about how it was a big moment that Mena was able to ride.

He wrote, “She only did this becuz my daughter rode today. She always said she would never and she finally did it. This is an important day in history @iamerica_mena 😂😂 Blox yu heard🔥🔥 🎥 @reggie_is_flexn @reemtheequeen she finally did it 😂😂.”

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.
