Erica Mena Rips Baby Daddy Safaree, Revealing Has Not Seen His Kids In Six Months Contrary To Interview

by

Erica Mena and Safaree’s relationship continues to make headlines after the two divorced in 2022. On Saturday (Dec. 14) Mena responded to claims made by Safaree in a recent interview that he has been absent in his children’s lives because he is dealing with Mena legally for visitation. When she got word, Mena rushed to Shade Room’s Instagram account to say, “That’s a lie.” “The truth to one of the many lies is… it’s actually six months—a half a year,” she wrote, referring to Safaree’s allegations.

She continued with a promise to expose her side of the story before the new year. “Before I walk into 2025, I promise you all will know the whole truth. And it won’t be edited, fabricated, or fake stories either. Y’all know I don’t do interviews with just anybody, so this sit-down will be explosive.” Safaree spoke on the situation with Keyshia Ka’oir. “I refuse to go to her house to pick up the kids until this thing is settled on paper, and I know, ‘This is my time,’” Safaree explained. He described the situation as “unstable,” saying he was waiting for a legal agreement to establish a clear custody schedule.

Erica Mena Says Safaree Is Cappin’ About Seeing His Children

Erica Mena and Safaree married in 2019 before announcing their divorce in 2021 and finalizing it in dramatic fashion in 2022. The video of Mena’s outrage over Safaree’s child support obligations continues to surface across social media. In October, Safaree posted a video showing Mena physically attacking him in front of their children. Mena responded to the video with, “Posting videos from 2023, yet in May 2024, you were begging for me back. If it was so traumatic for you, why were you on my ring camera from May 4–7, pleading for me to take you back? Make it make sense.”

As tensions between the former couple remain high, both have taken to social media to air grievances, fueling an already volatile situation. The public feud underscores the complexities of their ongoing legal and personal battles. Erica Mena isn’t the only ex that Safaree is annoying in 2024. He bought a ticket to Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour and recorded the experience to share with fans on social media. MInaj acknowledge Safaree’s antics on her radio show. She said; “When you’re at peace and when you’re happy, so many things will start coming to try to steal your joy and to steal your peace. Please don’t let it […] All we ask is to leave us alone before — well, y’all karma is about to be bad if you’ve been disrespecting Nicki and the Barbz. However, it’s going to get even worse.”

Safaree Breaks His Silence On Rumors That He Ghostwrote For Nicki Minaj

by

Safaree and Nicki Minaj’s relationship was years ago, but that doesn’t mean that there still aren’t lingering questions about their fling. For one, a lot of fans had brought forth the accusation that he ghostwrote some of her music, a long-standing speculation that he recently pushed back on during the All Things podcast with Keyshia Ka’oir. “No, and I’m glad you asked me that,” the rapper and actor responded when Ka’oir inquired about that narrative. “‘Cause there’s always people who will be, like… First, I never – like, I don’t know if somebody took something I said or flipped it or something.

“She is far more capable to do her own music, which she has and always does,” Safaree stated concerning Nicki Minaj and the rumors that he ghostwrote for her back in the day. “If anything, I was a hype man because I was just always that cheerleader. I was that, like, ‘Yo, did you hear what you just said?’ Yeah, it was just more of, like, a, ‘Yo, wow.’ Nah, and she, you know, she took pride in that.”

Safaree Addresses Nicki Minaj Ghostwriting Claims

As for other recent confessions from Safaree, he reflected on his relationship post-Nicki Minaj with Erica Mena. “I want it to be, like, okay if it’s Fridays, I pick them up from school,” he recently remarked concerning their children. “Then Mondays, I bring them back to school and then it’s like, okay, that’s what it’s going to be. […] I really don’t let [deadbeat accusations] get to me, because I know what’s really going on. And, you know, deadbeats ain’t paying what I’m paying in lawyer fees. It’s so expensive and I hate it so much and I just want it to be black and white. ‘Hey, look, let’s just let it be this.’ The only people that are benefiting from this are the lawyers.”

Meanwhile, beyond Safaree, Nicki Minaj has some other issues to address when it comes to her music. The Barbz expressed disappointment when she didn’t drop PF2: The Hiatus this week, although others expressed more forgiving attitudes. The Trinidadian femcee is a songwriting machine, so fans can only wonder what caused this move.

Erica Mena and Safaree have turned up the heat throughout the week. The Love & Hip Hop stars have always been ready to go when it comes to public spats. The allegations that have been made, however, and the dirty laundry that has been shared, reached a whole new level on October 16. Safaree posted a compilation of security footage in which Mena physically assaulted him. The internet was horrified, and then Erica Mena fired back with a scathing Instagram rant. She leveled serious allegations at Safaree in return.

Erica Mena alleged that all of the footage Safaree posted of her was from 2023. She also stated that one of the instances in which she was seen hitting him was not given proper context. The reality star alleged that Safaree had “violated her body” shortly before the footage was captured, and she felt as though she was defending herself. “The one of me being in raged [sic] was because he violated my body. I wanted answers on why he would put my health in jeopardy but he’s not admitting that part.” Erica Mena had a ton more to say on the matter. She alleged that Safaree dropped the restraining order he got against her because he wanted to get back together.

Erica Mena Accused Safaree Of Gaslighting Her

The Love & Hip Hop star wrote that Safaree got on his knees and “begged” to get back together. She alleged that their kids bore witness to this. It’s worth noting that some of the footage Safaree provided saw Mena strike him with their kids present. Erica Mena provided specific dates in which Safaree came and allegedly asked to get back together. She also accused the producer of gaslighting her and making her feel as though she’s the issue. Interestingly, enough, Mena brought the rant back to the topic that started the conflict in the first place: child support.

Safaree requested that his child support payments be lowered due to his diminished income. Erica Mena took the producer to task for this request. She alleged that Safaree has gone months without paying his child support. The reality star also alleged that she had to get the department of child support to literally take the money from Safaree’s account. Erica Mena concluded her multi-part rant by attacking Safaree’s parenting. She castigated him for being an absentee father. She also criticized him for leaking footage that will cause “trauma” to both her and their children.

Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena have never had the smoothest relationship. The Love & Hip Hop stars have made drama part of their brand for years. The drama, however, has gotten increasingly serious in the past few weeks. Safaree shocked social media followers when he leaked security footage in which Mena gets physically violent with him. The security footage was cobbled together from different times, and one of the incidents appears to have taken place in front of their children.

The footage shows Erica Mena shoving Safaree and breaking property inside their home. The latter felt that he needed to share the footage in order to properly illustrate to the public what he’s been dealing with. “I have to put myself first,” he told his followers. “Because I’m either gonna end up in jail or worse because Im dealing with someone who’s anger management is nonexistent.” Safaree also turned some of the blame on himself. He claimed he should have been more aware of Erica Mena’s anger issues well before they started a family together. “When you have children with someone,” he explained. “I should have just noticed certain things when it came to parenting.”

The latest spat between Safaree and Erica Mena stemmed from child support payments. Safaree send Mena a request to get his monthly payments lowered from $4K. The producer also demanded that Mena help to pay off some of his legal fees. He argued that he makes less money than he did when the initial child support amount was agreed upon. Furthermore, Safaree claimed that he watched his children an estimated 3-4 weeks at a time instead of the prescribed 12 days. Erica Mena did not take to this request positively.

The Love & Hip Hop star proceeded to drag Safaree for trying to lower his monthly payments. She also posted a calendar that allegedly showed the amount of days that Safaree had spent with their children in the past year. Mena posits that the number is significantly lower that the producer suggested. “Imagine trying to detect CS from your BM,” she wrote in a since deleted IG post. “When that’s they get from you since he skips out on birthdays and Christmas by choice… You only seen your kids 16 times this whole year so far.” Mena has yet to respond to the leaked security footage.

Nicki Minaj’s Sister Reacts To Safaree Having A Ball At Her Concert

Safaree made a controversial maneuver this past weekend by popping out to support Nicki Minaj. She is currently in the midst of her Gag City Reloaded portion of the extensive Pink Friday 2 tour. Video of her ex surfaced online, and it went viral. The artist and TV personality was having the time of his life dancing to the Queen of New York’s hits. He even voiced his love for Nicki on X (Twitter), saying, “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” The former partners had a pretty nasty and tumultuous fall out, especially after the breakup.

But it seems like Safaree is trying to turn a new leaf. He did recently say he’s trying to live life in a new lense, as he expressed that, “I want to start giving back more.” As we hinted earlier, fans, especially of Nicki’s, were pretty upset/annoyed with the co-producer. However, there was also quite a nice number of people that were happy that Safaree was happy. “Some people can’t even get that level of support from phony family members. I’m here for it 🙌🏾 Life is too short to be a pressed hater,” one IG user stated.

Now, Minaj’s sister, Ming Li, is weighing in on the situation, according to Live Bitez. Li hopped on what appears to be an Instagram Live session while at a salon. She answered some random questions, while even speaking on her new dog that she’s naming after her talented sis. Shoving that to the side, though, Li gave her two cents on Safaree showing up, and all she could really do was giggle about it. “Safaree was cuttin’ up yesterday, hell yeah he was [tee-hees]. I saw that. That s*** was funny [tee-hees].” She seems to not have a problem with it overall, and neither did Nicki on Sunday because she brought out her current boo Kenneth Petty during the performance.

Nicki Minaj brought out her husband, Kenny Petty, during her concert in Miami, over the weekend.

He wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) afterward: “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” In the replies to the post, fans sent him the video of Petty on stage while others doubted the sincerity of his words.

Safaree Thoroughly Enjoys Himself At Nicki Minaj’s Concert

Safaree and Nicki Minaj spent a lot of time together. In fact, it was a 12-year relationship that saw a lots of ups and downs, especially toward the end. There were some moments of reconciliation and there were others that displayed utter nastiness. Sometimes it got straight up concerning, as it was reported by TMZ 2014 that Safaree was experiencing su*cidal thoughts following the breakup. The drama and turmoil didn’t stop there though for the rapper and TV star as his partnership with Erica Mena has seen its own fair share of issues. They aren’t together anymore, and they have constantly gone back and forth since splitting 2021.

Mena has been extremely critical, putting him on blast for not showing enough love and support for their kids. But despite all of these shortcomings and dilemmas, Safaree is trying his best to make up for it. In fact, he recently said that he’s living with a new purpose. “I want to start giving back more, and uh, I don’t why lately. [Maybe] this trip is just making me see things different [but] I have to do it. So if you’re somebody who know me, link me up if you want to help in any way.” However, –at least in this case– this has nothing to do with Mena.

Instead, Safaree is “giving back” to Nicki Minaj by popping out at her Miami stop for the Gag City Reloaded leg of her ongoing Pink Friday 2 tour. However, he didn’t just stand in the crowd, he was having an absolute ball. As you can see in the video from The Neighborhood Talk above, he’s dancing and just enjoying himself thoroughly. On top of this, Safaree tweeted out in response to the clip making the rounds online. “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” This has led to some mixed reactions from the internet, with the Barbz especially showing no remorse for their queen’s ex. However, some were just simply happy to see him happy.

Erica Mena Calls Safaree A Deadbeat Following His Nicki Minaj-Meek Mill Revelation

by

Erica Mena and Safaree do not have a great relationship right now. Overall, the last couple of years has seen their partnership become strained and tumultuous. They are no longer together and while they do co-parent their two kids, Mena does not seem to be all that amused with the job Safaree is doing. As we reported yesterday, Mena went on a rant against Safaree. This was all in retaliation to Safaree’s comments about how Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill’s relationship put him in a dark place.

In yesterday’s post, Mena claimed that Safaree cares more about chasing clout off Nicki then actually paying attention to his own kids. Throughout her most recent rant, Mena went off on the father of her children, even more. Based on her comments below, it is very clear that she has had enough of him. As you can see, she claims that Safaree rarely ever engages with his children. When he does, he allegedly only does so for a photo opp. Furthermore, she said that he is “sloppy and cheap” especially as it pertains to how he dresses them.
