Back On the Market: Erica Mena Dumps Fiancé Safaree

Good news fellas, Erica Mena is back on the market. The reality TV star reportedly dumped her fiancé Safaree Samuel after catching him cheating.

Erica, 31, and Safaree, 37, got engaged in 2018 after meeting on the set of VH1's Love & Hip Hop: New York. They were last seen in public together during Super Bowl weekend in Atlanta.

MTO News confirmed the breakup. A source tells the gossip blog that Erica flew into a rage after she allegedly caught him sexting his ex-girlfriend, rapper Nicki Minaj.

The source explained, "Erica was always suspicious of Safaree, but he seemed like he was a good man."

Erica was previously engaged to former professional basketball player Cliff Dixon who was gunned down outside a nightclub in Atlanta in March.

In November, she was engaged to former kiddie rapper Shad "Bow Wow" Moss, but their body language was always off in photos and they eventually parted ways.

The two exes partied within feet of each other at a nightclub in Atlanta in mid-April. A spy said Erica (wearing pink) and Shad acted as if they didn't know each other.

Safaree is best known for carrying Nicki Minaj's bags and for leaking his nudes on social media. He also co-producing her album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

    Erica can not keep a man...maybe she need to take a break from dating. ....be single for awhile and learn what she really want out of a relationship (beside a ring)...knowing yourself is important. Vagina rejuvenation is a must for women like Erica Halle Berry and others.

  • sherri2016

    Didn't believe them in the first place it's just that no one would pick up their unreality show

  • SingleGalCrazyWorld

    Erica has been thirsty to the limelight since she was on the KK show...at this point they both are professional "reality stars"...I can understand Safaree wanting to break out of Nicki's shadow and go on L&HH for one season but at this point he looks like a clown especially after that stunt he pulled yesterday...

  • Dowoop

    Yeah stopped reading after that. Even if its true someone other than MTO needs to confirm it.

  • Dr. P

    I gotchu

  • chan chan

    I knew this wasn’t gonna last

  • Dr. P

    Exactly

  • http://theempirefiend.tumblr.com/ Bird

    MTO is hardly a reliable source. Anyway, I've always felt that the relationship was fake and my opinion hasn't changed. I believe it's a storyline and it will be well publicized when they fake break up.

  • Dr. P

    Ooh I'll grab me some too

  • teather

    I have no idea who this woman is but she moves fast, huh? She should take a breather. In most cases, none of these relationships are real. PPl fake for PR all the time. Who's dating Bow Wow these days, IJS!

  • Raquel

    LAWD!!! *clutching pearls*

    Now, my mind done went OFF work and somewhere else. smh

  • teather

    Strangely, why does she look SO different in the first pic with Safaree vs. the Shad Moss pic? She looked better unhappy.

  • YellowSauce

    They both need someone that is not dumb to deal with ... there can't be 2 dummies in a relationship and plus I really don't think he's the loyal OR smart type ...............

  • Kanyade

    lol. this gif. lord lol

  • Let them eat cake

    him and nicki won't every really be over each other so anyone that gets with either one of them is doing themselves a disservice .

  • MrsSpice1

    Lol I almost believed it but her ig still carries his last name ??!! They aint broken up...Erica has a big mouth she definitely would have made an announcement by now and safaree would be stupid af to go back to a broad that never claimed him but can claim a child molester straight out of prison and a yukmouth rapper geek mills, that she left safaree for whom was his enemy at one point that was super low and irreversible !! If nicki takes him back it would only be because her career is in the trash can thanks to the industry finding a replacement more younger and ratchet then her..they basically gave her the lil kim treatment! He covered every tattoo he had of her! I dont think he cares to go back. He knows now she’s replaceable...too many broads out here surgically enhanced just like her n he clearly has a type hence why he keeps getting played ?...

  • EasyBreezy

    Lawd, so much in-fuc*king! NIcki's man gon' get in that azz for this..... or are they still together? That dude looks mean and dangerous.

  • ?Starring Ladii Jaye?

  • http://thedevereauxshow.com Ms.Devereaux

    Chiiiiiiiile????? guess they both were tired of playing straiiiiight! She caught him sexting Nicki ????? if they don’t cut it out

  • MrsSpice1

    If Nicki truly loved him like she claims she loves every other dude she Dated after safaree she wouldve went public with him too...so thats a load of bs. They couldve been dope together in music esp! She didn’t even want him on any of her songs and hes an artist too but she can make music with weak mills?!? Shes fake af for how she played him over 10yrs of pretending he was nothing more then a hype man nobody knew they were a thing until they broke up n she was already moved on with weak mills. She don’t deserve him back!

  • EasyBreezy

    Chile...there's a lot of 'celebrities,' who'd benefit from VR.

  • KneeSee

    I don't know if their relationship is real or fake, but I did notice that they've been real quiet ever since Erica's ex died.

  • NewNew

    Just read this morning that a 19 year old 9-months pregnant woman was found dead after meeting up with a woman she met on Facebook to collect baby items. An infant in distress call was made to the same address days before the woman was found dead at the house. They lured her there, strangled her to death then cut the baby out.

    Beware ladies! No new friends when you're pregnant. This world is evil as hel?

    THIS! Chicks fall for the okey doke and invite STRANGERS to their house or just accept them as “friends” on social media.

  • Mr.LeBrickJames

    MTONews is reporting this? Then it's probably not true. We know most of their stories are questionable.
    She's still calling herself Erica Mena Samuels on social media, so it looks like they're still together for now.

  • Alextra Ballard

    Ut Oh..MTO unreliable source

  • Peppermint Patty

    Scrolled back up....DAYUM....she was probably starving herself and on that wild "I'm the it girl" diet of attention and fame.....she eating real food now....

  • Renee26

    He may have been... You know how exes are. Hisa friend dry snitched on him last yr and went live showing Safaree on his phone going down Nicki's timeline

  • Renee26

    Ion think he's a jerk... I think he's slow. He was protesting a fur ban in NY and his responses are soooo basic and dumb. He also says the dumbest things on that reality show. He might have a learning disablity that's a turn off

  • itsjismemelly

    i was hoping for love for both of them

  • Reina1718

    This cornball been trying to build a name after Nicki for so long its annoying now. He jumps on anything to be relevant. He will be on Iyanla.

  • Renee26

    Well he is a killer

  • SugarFoot a.k.a Ty

    I thought she was preggo?????

  • Renee26

    He keeps getting played cause women want a man who leads not one they can lead around. The boy is slow as hail and his conversation sucks. He can only lead a woman to the bedroom and the shopping mall... That gets old.

  • Navybeans95

    Stevie Wonder saw this coming.....but hol up.. I did see a short clip of Stevie getting caught reading...I think he's been pulling our legs all this time....smh

  • KcoolMuziq

    Safaree(whom I spotted at the inspiration of my life Bishop Noel Jone's church)has a lot of charisma and just needs the right vehicle to crossover to the masses.

  • TriniHarlem

    Not true they need each other to feed their thirst for attention and reality shows. Next!

  • NewNew

    I have no social media accounts. Too many people spying and hating. No thanks

  • hi-liter

    Is anyone truly surprised at this development? She stayed with BowWow longer than this. Welp, she got to swerve all on Safaree’s big Dack......hope it was everything my mind tells me it would be ?

    Bow wow looks cute in that last picture. He's never been ugly. Just short with mental problems.

    Safari should be grateful. Erica is a bad look for him. He's sooo fine and he has a big d*ck! Then he's a cancer. Smh I have a weakness for water sign men. I love all 3. Particularly Scorpio. Anyway, good for him. He can do better.

  • Renee26

    I was pissed he's not doing the sex toy mold

  • Renee26

    He lacks the game those charmers possess

  • Malai

    Because he’s not beating on women...takes pride in his appearance...and actually tries to act like a decent person even tho he’s not perfect.. sometimes that comes off as a lil “gay”

  • NewNew

    People just can't stop putting the cart before the horse. How does she have his last name and they aren't even married yet? Pregnancy does not a wife make. ?????

  • MNjumpoffacliff

    It. Was. Fake. Anyway

  • Wreckognize Game

    If they did break up then I would think the death of Cliff Dixon was the same as Mac Miller’s death to a rebound relationship. Getting under a new man is not how you get over a real love.
