Here’s What Erica Mena Said to Ray J and How He Reacted to Her Being Accused of Being ‘Racist’
On Thursday, August 22, Ray J took to Instagram to share a screengrab of a video originally shared by Instagram user @realitytv_blogspot. Furthermore, the clip features Mena screaming loudly into her phone and is captioned, “Woah! Erica Mena says the ‘N-word’ while pulling Ray J, PRINCESS LOVE, BRANDY…”
“Talk to your motherf**king son of a bitch,” Mena said, apparently while streaming on Instagram Live. “I’m probably not allowed to say that… Don’t fuck with me. You motherf**kers. I’m not participating…”
Ray J added a few words to the beginning of Mena’s video: “THERE IS YOU BEING RACIST AGAIN! YOU HAVEN’T LEARNED TO RESPECT CULTURE YET”
He also added a caption sharing a direct message to the reality TV star.
“Why call me N! @ericamena – after the racist Monkey comment you made about black people you just felt like you could take it to the next level and call me N***a?? SMH,” he wrote. “…when you make mistakes and get L – you are supposed to Learn from them. This is not cool”
Before ending his message, Ray J noted that Mena’s ex-husband and father of her youngest children, Safaree, is a friend of his. Additionally, he stated that he was not “involved [it]” with your partners or ex-partners.
“We are filming our own show and living life to the fullest!! – God bless you… why do we make you so angry? Damn it!…” he wrote.

Erica Mena Was Previously Criticized For Comments She Made Towards Spice
As The Shade Room previously reported, Mena faced backlash in August 2023. At the time, an episode of ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ aired in which Mena called her co-star, Spice, a “green monkey” in a heated exchange.
In the following weeks, Spice spoke out about the argument, letting fans know that she didn’t let Mena’s “opinions” detract from her.
“…Someone’s opinion of me doesn’t value me as a person and just because someone thinks something about me doesn’t mean I am that person,” Spice explained in an interview with Forbes.
During the chat, Spice also addressed Mena’s disdain for dark-skinned women.
“I always remind my dark skinned women how beautiful they are, to love themselves. [for] who are they [so] someone can’t come and say a few words,” she said. “…That doesn’t define me. I know who am i
In September of that year, Mena publicly apologized for her comments about Spice, according to The Shade Room. She also claimed that her comments were not “racially motivated.”
“I deeply regret my insensitive comment and humbly apologize to anyone I may have hurt or offended because of my thoughtlessness,” she told TMZ at the time. “My choice of words was poor and I take full responsibility for what I said. I am committed to listening to the voices of those affected and will work to make amends. As a black woman and mother of two black children, I want to make it clear that my use of the word was not racially motivated.”
