Earlier this month, Safaree Samuels asked the court to reduce your child support payments to the mother of your children, Erica Mena. His request to reduce monthly payments to $4,305 set off a chain of events. Ultimately, the former couple went viral online with words and images of home surveillance. In the same period, though, Safaree apparently spent a HUGE purse on her TV ex-boyfriend, Amara La Negraon his 34th birthday.

Safaree Samuels freezes Amara La Negra
As mentioned, Amara La Negra celebrated her 34th birthday on October 4th. However, Safaree Samuels’ gift reveal came this week in one of her latest YouTube vlog episodes. He shared the 33-minute video on October 20.
At the beginning of the vlog, Safaree explained that she asked Amara if anyone had given her anything for her birthday. After she gave him a cake and flowers, he decided to stop by with a special surprise. While driving there, the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star seemingly addressed why he and Amara aren’t dating.
You may remember that the two had a brief on-screen fling, but in August 2023, she suggested on social media that their relationship was for “good reviews.”
“Amara… we are big names. We just get along really well, and sometimes when you get along really well with someone, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to jump their bones.
Later in the video, Safaree, Amara and his mother are in the kitchen as he prepares his gift: a 10-carat VVS diamond necklace. The pendant was custom designed to mirror Amara’s curves and signature afro style. After opening the light blue box, La Negra and her mother were clearly impressed! Her mom even gave Samuels a hug as Amara repeatedly said, “Awww.”
The price of the custom necklace is unclear, but this isn’t the first time Safaree has splurged on a bag with Amara. In April 2023, a video circulating showed him gifting Amara’s twin daughters, Sumajestad Royalty and Sualteza Empress, Rolex watches for their first birthday. At the same party, Safaree and Amara did a special “royal” dance and shared what appeared to be their first public kiss.
Erica Mena I didn’t take advantage of the moment slightly. She took to The Shade Room’s comments section to call her children’s father a “deadbeat clown” who won’t do anything for his own children.

Needless to say, some social media users expected Erica Mena to give the same energy she did with her birthday watches. But instead of dragging her ex-husband over his generous gift giving, Mena kept the social media focus on herself and her children, Safire and Legend.
