Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta personalities Safaree and Erica Mena got married in 2019, but their relationship has been marred by controversy. Cheating allegations, public fights and threats of divorce have trumped their union for years. But Mena officially filed at Fayette County Superior Court in May 2021 while pregnant with their second child.
In a recent episode of the VH1 reality show, Safaree finally took culpability for his transgressions during their marriage and while she was pregnant.
“I’m sorry for putting us in situations where, you know, you have to question our trust,” he said. “I take full accountability. I apologize for how I treated you during your pregnancy. It wasn’t right. I don’t have any excuse.” When Mena asks why he decided to apologize now, Safaree replied, “I just want to be better, be better for our family.”

Par for the course, the scene from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta was filmed months ago and it doesn’t sound like anything has improved between the former couple. On Monday (February 7), Mena hopped in The Shade Room comment section and blasted her ex for the seemingly hallow gesture.
“SMH All of this and yet It was a lie folks,” she wrote in the comment section. “Alll A LIE once again. Now let’s all move on. Happy and healing all 2022. My three kids and I appreciate our new chapter.”
Safaree and Erica Mena’s feud heated up in July 2021 when Safaree filed court documents asking the judge to hold her in contempt for violating their domestic relations standing order, which prohibits them from harassing each other or destroying each other’s property during the divorce proceedings.
At the time, Safaree claimed Mena ignored the order and destroyed over $50,000 worth of his property. The documents reportedly state Mena poured bleach on over $30,000 worth of customized sneakers, then allegedly tossed paint all over two of his motorcycles and a four-wheeler motorbike.
The incident took place on May 23, 2021, just two days after Mena filed for divorce. Three months later, Mena celebrated the split during a club appearance.
“Ladies, can we say this together?” she said. “Pray for him. Prayyyy for him! OK, DJ, you can turn it up again. I’m officially fucking single! This is my divorce party!”
