Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels’ drama continues to escalate, despite their split in 2021 after a tumultuous marriage.
The former couple, who share two children, have been locked in a bitter feud that shows no signs of cooling off. Erica has recently unleashed some serious accusations against her ex, claiming that Safaree is not only a negligent father but also still obsessed with his ex, Nicki Minaj, whom he dated for over a decade before their breakup in 2014.
Erica didn’t hold back, accusing Safaree of being a “deadbeat” dad who neglects his parental responsibilities. She stated that while Safaree portrays a high-flying lifestyle on social media, he contributes very little to their children’s lives, both financially and emotionally. According to Erica, Safaree pays only $4,000 a month in child support, which she argues is not enough to cover the children’s needs, especially considering their lifestyle and educational expenses. She has also alleged that Safaree frequently skips important family events, including their children’s birthdays and holidays like Christmas.
Erica further claimed that Safaree doesn’t even take proper care of the children when they are with him. She shared photos of their kids, pointing out that they were often poorly groomed and dressed in cheap clothing, a stark contrast to how she takes pride in their appearance. In her eyes, Safaree’s neglectful behavior is not just about money but a deeper lack of commitment and involvement in their children’s lives.
Adding fuel to the fire, Erica also accused Safaree of still being obsessed with Nicki Minaj, even after more than a decade since their breakup. Safaree and Nicki’s relationship lasted for 14 years, and their breakup was far from amicable. Both parties hurled accusations at each other, with Safaree claiming that Nicki had been physically abusive towards him, even alleging that he once had to be taken out of their house on a stretcher. Nicki, in turn, accused Safaree of stealing money from her, saying he took her credit card and tried to spend from an account without her knowledge.
Despite the messy breakup, Safaree seems to harbor some lingering feelings for Nicki. In a recent interview, he opened up about how the split had nearly destroyed his career, as many people in the industry turned their backs on him. Safaree admitted that after Nicki started dating Meek Mill, one of the biggest rappers at the time, he faced immense pressure and isolation from the industry. He said that nobody wanted to work with him, and many fans and collaborators wished for him to disappear altogether. However, Safaree has maintained that he survived the tough times, pointing out that he’s now thriving with multiple TV shows, music projects, and real estate deals under his belt.
Erica’s recent remarks suggest that Safaree’s preoccupation with Nicki may still be affecting his life and his relationship with their kids. While Safaree has tried to move on, Erica’s accusations paint a picture of a man still caught in the shadows of his past and unable to fully embrace his role as a father.
As this drama unfolds, it’s clear that the wounds from Erica and Safaree’s marriage have yet to heal, and their bitter public feud seems far from over.
