For Scared Famous viewers, finding out that reality stars Erica Mena and Safaree didn’t last is still beyond belief seven years later. From an abandoned mental hospital to a coffin game, Safaree still found a way to act like Pepe Le Pew just saw Penelope Pussycat (i.e., Erica Mena) in what should have been a frightening TV series.
His hard flirting did pay off eventually, with a house, marriage and two kids (Legend Brian Samuels and Safire). The wedding at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey with 40,000 red roses was on brand. But after all the arguing on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and accusations of serial cheating, it was a given that the 2019 romance was dwindling by 2021.
By the fall of 2022, their divorce was official. But who is Safaree dating now?
Fast forward to 2024, and Safaree was rapping “your body, me wanna climb” to another Love & Hip Hop alumnus: Amara La Negra. Rumors had been swirling that Safaree and the Afro-Latina (who made a host of thinkpiece writers discuss colorism within the Hispanic community) seemed smitten with each other.
However, Amara La Negra insisted that she’s been single and celibate since the relationship with the father of her children. While she left it up to Love & Hip Hop viewers to assume what they wanted, she blew the circulating rumors off as great for reality show ratings. But if these two were supposed to be just friends, Amara La Negra demanding to see Safaree’s phone to check text messages from Love & Hip Hop: Miami cast member Eliza Reign was not exactly what “friends” do.
If eyebrows weren’t raised from that car conversation, the “Safari” video certainly caught shippers’ attention. And that wasn’t just because it was Amara La Negra’s idea to feature Safaree while naming the song title a variation of his name.
A few months ago, Safaree, who didn’t seem all that thrilled with getting married again after Erica Mena, showed up on the final day of the Miami cast’s trip to the Dominican Republic and proposed to her. While many social media users are gushing over these two being an item, the look of shock on Amara La Negra’s face at Safaree saying “I love you” sounded more like this was her first time hearing it. Ever.
Fans Are Left To Speculate About Safaree and Amara La Negra
Is the relationship and engagement for show? We don’t know. Is it peculiar that Safaree isn’t in any of these photos celebrating her upcoming birthday but he took time to promote House of Villains? Definitely. But the TV ratings, song and video streams, and uptick in social media followers certainly don’t hurt either of the two.
