Erica Mena Denies Safaree’s Claims
On December 14, Erica Mena responded to Safaree’s recent interview where he claimed he hasn’t been able to see his kids due to ongoing legal issues surrounding visitation rights. Safaree, speaking to Keyshia Ka’oir, described the situation as “unstable” and claimed he was waiting for a court-ordered custody schedule to avoid conflicts.
Mena, however, was quick to call out what she deemed “lies.” Posting in the comments of The Shade Room’s Instagram post, she wrote:
“That’s a lie. The truth to one of the many lies is… it’s actually six months—a half a year.”
Erica didn’t stop there. She promised to share her full side of the story before the end of the year, teasing a tell-all interview:
“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.”

A Timeline of Turbulence
The couple’s relationship, which began with a lavish wedding in 2019, has been anything but peaceful since their split. Their divorce was finalized in 2022 after a contentious legal process. Since then, both have taken to social media to air grievances and level accusations against one another, escalating the already tense situation.
In October, Safaree posted a video showing Erica physically attacking him in front of their children. Mena responded by accusing Safaree of manipulating the narrative:
“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.”
The back-and-forth on social media highlights the complexities of their ongoing legal battles, with custody arrangements and financial obligations at the forefront of their disputes.

Safaree’s Antics Beyond Erica
The drama between Erica and Safaree isn’t the only headline-grabbing moment for the rapper in 2024. Safaree made waves earlier this year when he bought a ticket to Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour and recorded the experience for his social media followers. The move raised eyebrows, given his tumultuous history with Minaj, his ex-girlfriend.
Minaj addressed Safaree’s actions on her radio show, where she sent a thinly veiled warning:
“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.”
Erica Mena’s Next Move
As the tension between Erica and Safaree continues to grow, Mena is determined to set the record straight. She has hinted at an explosive interview that will reveal the truth about Safaree’s alleged absence in their children’s lives and address the ongoing custody battles. The promise of unfiltered revelations has fans eagerly anticipating her side of the story.
For now, both Erica and Safaree seem committed to airing their grievances publicly, with no signs of resolution in sight. The ongoing feud is a stark reminder of how deeply personal issues can spiral into messy public drama, especially when social media is involved.
Public Reaction
Fans have been quick to weigh in on the drama, with many expressing concern for the children caught in the middle of the ongoing conflict. Others have criticized both Erica and Safaree for handling their issues so publicly, arguing that the constant airing of grievances only adds fuel to the fire.
As the saga continues, one thing is clear: Erica and Safaree’s relationship remains a cautionary tale about the fallout of high-profile breakups and the challenges of co-parenting under a microscope. Whether Erica’s promised interview will bring clarity or add more drama remains to be seen, but it’s certain to keep fans and followers captivated.
