Nikki Minaj is making headlines yet again, but this time, she’s chiming in on the explosive feud between her ex, Safari, and his ex-wife, Erica Mena. The saga intensified when Erica publicly criticized Safari’s alleged lack of involvement with their kids, only to be met with a fierce rebuttal from Safari himself, who shared eye-opening footage of Erica’s behavior. And just as tensions hit a boiling point, Nikki stepped in, adding her own layer of shade.
The clash began when Erica exposed Safari for what she described as his neglectful parenting, claiming he’s only seen their kids 16 times all year. She further alleged that his attempts to reduce child support were a result of his lack of commitment. Safari, however, wasn’t having it; he shot back, accusing Erica of being toxic and even providing security footage as evidence.
In the footage, Erica can be seen in several confrontational moments, allegedly damaging property and confronting him right in front of their kids. Safari explained that he once tried to file a restraining order but dropped it after being told his attendance at a shared event cast doubt on the need for legal protection.
Safari also shared that Erica had sent private photos of him to his family members in a bid to imply they were still romantically involved. He called her actions invasive and explained how her opposition to him enrolling their kids in a summer camp near his home was another way she made co-parenting difficult. He even showed the detailed schedule he’d created to give his children stability and consistency.
Amid this public dispute, Erica responded by claiming Safari had begged her for another chance, even after the alleged toxic incidents. She posted screenshots of security footage, attempting to shift the narrative by implying he was still interested in reconciliation. Erica took to social media to defend herself, reminding people that Safari had relentlessly pursued her for three years before she agreed to date him.
As if the drama wasn’t layered enough, Nikki Minaj, who once dated Safari, made her own entrance into the chaos. Nikki threw subtle but unmistakable shade, reminding everyone of her past relationship with Safari and mocking him for allegedly fumbling a good thing with her. She also hinted that Erica’s life was far from the ‘dream’ she’d hoped for, given her tumultuous situation with Safari.
Fans quickly took to social media to weigh in. Some sympathized with Safari, agreeing that Erica’s behavior seemed toxic, while others criticized him for his role in the messy situation. Meanwhile, Erica found herself under fire, with many questioning why she’d continued the relationship after allegedly seeing red flags early on.
This back-and-forth between Safari and Erica highlights the complexity of their co-parenting relationship and has left fans wondering whether this saga will find resolution anytime soon. And Nikki’s unexpected commentary only further fueled the flames, adding yet another chapter to an already intense narrative.
