Rapper/television personality Safaree Samuels is upset with the creators of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. The 40-year-old reality show star went on Twitter to call out the VH1 series.
A recent episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta included a scene where Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena’s young child fell on-screen. After Safire took a tumble, Samuels could be seen laughing.
“And y’all LHH editors ain’t s###. We told y’all not to air my baby falling and y’all still used it. Had us reshoot a whole bunch of b####### and y’all still used that. Y’all don’t have no respect, because that was not my response of me finding out I was having a boy!” tweeted Safaree.
He added, “That was tacky and tasteless!! It’s definitely about to be a wrap on my time with y’all. Y’all be wanting too much of [people’s] time to be [doing that] type of wack s###!! We filmed a [hour] long convo for that scene and y’all chop it to 3 mins and use that and make it a focal point. Weak.”
