Safaree Samuels is backtracking big time on his brag that he would be ā€œEnding 2020 right!!ā€ as a ā€œBACHELOR!!ā€ After sharing an Instagram post on Nov. 4 flexing in front of a Rolls Royce while showing off his shirtless abs, the 39-year-old rapper is now clarifying that he was not hinting about a possible divorce from wife Erica Mena with the caption. Instead, heā€™s praising married life and saying how much he loves the Love and Hip Hop: New York star.

In a Nov. 5 Instagram post showing him lifting a weight aboard an all-terrain vehicle, Safaree wrote in the caption, ā€œA man is nothing without his family. Im not a bachelor & I love my wife I would never disrespect the mother of my child or wife. Sorry for being childish & Salute to all the real men out there.ā€

On his original post about wanting to ā€œend 2020ā€ as a ā€œbachelor,ā€ Safaree has gone back and changed it to read ā€œ10:30 am Fridayā€¼ļøā€¼ļø Word premiere,ā€ as he appears to be dropping some sort of workout video with his trainer, Atlanta-based Luke T. Fans were actually quite forgiving and applauded him admitting what a childish mistake he made.

User @dtrain220 commented, ā€œGood job in fixing that, a lot of men wouldnā€™t put their pride and ego to the side to correct the mistake,ā€ while @notanotherlexi wrote, ā€œIā€™m glad you said this Safaree. I love you two together. Donā€™t ever disrespect your family like that again.ā€ Fan @only_island_beauty told the rapper, ā€œGood a job Safaree. Good way to man up,ā€ while @ms.v3939 assured him, ā€œItā€™s alright sweetheart we all have our moments.ā€

Just five hours after Safaree tweeted about becoming a ā€œbachelor,ā€ Erica seemed to put him on notice by doing something neither she or her husband had been willing to do for the past 10 months ā€” show off a photo of their baby daughter. The couple has been extraordinarily private about their little girl, who was born on Feb. 2, 2020. Erica, 32, shared a full photo of their beautiful child to her Instagram and seemed to make a play on Safareeā€™s ā€œending 2020ā€ as a bachelor comment by writing, ā€œThe BEST part of 2020. My Safire Majesty.ā€ In doing so, she also announced their babyā€™s full name for the first time.

Erica seemed to hint in September 2020 that there might be trouble in the marriage via some cryptic online messages. In an Instagram post she wrote, ā€œMY Kids. This is what my life is about! Priorities be really f**ked up for some people. Blessed Iā€™m not one of those idiots.ā€ Though she didnā€™t mention Safaree, some took it as aimed at him. Erica had also tweeted the message, ā€œCut ties with ANYONE that destroys your inner peace and that doesnā€™t appreciate you or your presenceā€ around that same time. With Safareeā€™s proclamation of love, it now seems that their marriage is back on track.
