Erica Mena Flosses Her Love With Safaree Samuels Despite ‘LHH’ Termination Rumors

Erica Mena and her fiancé Safaree Samuels are all smiles on social media in spite of rumors circulating about their firing from “Love and Hip Hop.”

Mena took to Instagram on Wednesday with a sweet video of herself and Samuels basking in their love. The 31-year-old is seen showboating her 14-carat diamond ring moments before grabbing her fiancé’s face and kissing him. The couple appeared head over heads for one another as they jammed to “I Want To Thank You” by singer Alicia Myers.

The model also bragged about her sex life with Samuels before urging folks to follow their couple’s YouTube page.

“That sex hit different when y’all missed each other 👅🍆💍,” Mena said. “I’m so obsessed with you @iamsafaree.” She added, “Our first video is up! Follow and subscribe NOW ! Huge announcements on the way.”

Mena’s romantic video with Samuels comes days after reports claimed the couple was fired from the VH1 series. MTO news reported that Samuels was given his pink slip after refusing to appear on “Love and Hip Hop: New York‘s” season 9 reunion show. An insider reportedly told the gossip site that the “Hunnid” rapper was afraid of being physically attacked by his cast mates Joe Budden and Rich Dollaz after feuding with both during the season, but VH1 supposedly has called BS.

“The one sure way to get fired permanently is to disrespect the show by not showing up to [a shoot],” the anonymous source said. “You will never EVER see him on ‘Love & Hip Hop’ again. His career [as a reality star] is over.”

Mena on the other hand was allegedly terminated from “LHH” after last appearing on season 7 of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.” She was allegedly talking down on the show during interviews.

“We made [Erica] famous and she badmouths us every time she opens her mouth. She got herself fired,” the purported insider reportedly told MTO.

Nevertheless, Mena and Samuels don’t seem too worried about their alleged firing and continue to tout their engagement on social media. They’ve also uploaded their first video to their YouTube channel, one titled “She’s Crazy, I’m Not.” Fans and supporters of the pair’s relationship said they’d definitely be tuning into to watch the couple’s channel.

“I’m really feeling y’all vibe. Keep it up 😘! Am waiting for u guys to post a new video on YouTube.”

“Just watched, super cute!! Im here for it! I don’t even watch VH1 i just wait for repost clips on utube anyway 😝😝 #winning #subscribed.”

” I watched it and you two made me fall more in love with my husband. 10 years married, 12 years together 🙌🏽.”

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.
