The Run Down 

According to The New York Times the bill being considered by the Council would ban the sale of fur garments and accessories, but it would allow the sale of used fur garments and new apparel using fur from older garments. Violators would be subject to fines of $500 to $1,500, and any money made from selling banned fur would be subject to forfeiture. The bill would not ban wearing fur.

Los Angeles is the largest city in the country to have banned the sale of fur; other cities include San Francisco and West Hollywood. But New York City is the largest fur retail market in the United States, according to FurNYC, a trade group representing 130 fur retailers in the city. The 150 fur businesses in the city create 1,100 jobs and produce $400 million in revenue per year, according to the group.

Maria Reich, 43, chief executive of Reich Furs, a Manhattan-based manufacturer of fur coats, said a ban on fur sales would have a drastic impact to her employees “The morale is down. They are scared,” “These are people who have a craft and have been working in this industry for 30 or 40 years. They don’t know what they will do next, and they have families to support.”

“There’s a political agenda. If this ban happens, the leather industry will be attacked, the meat industry will be attacked,” Ms. Reich said. “There’s a slippery slope. Are politicians going to tell us what to do, what to wear and what to eat? It’s a little bigger than fur.”

Each side had celebrity power: The anti-fur movement was represented by Tim Gunn, the “Project Runway” style guru; the pro-fur crowd had Safaree Samuels, a rapper and television personality, who was wearing a lynx coat that he said he had bought for the event.

What happens when you end up dating the ex of a famous celebrity you were once a fan of? If you have an ego such as bad gyal Erica Mena, of Love and Hip Hop New York you deny it!

Erica Mena started dating rising rapper and songwriter Safaree Samuels who is most known as Nicki Minaj’s ex-longtime boyfriend. The pair have known each other for some time but have only been dating since about November of 2018 and were engaged by December. Since the engagement, Erica and fellow Love and Hip Hop cast member Safaree has been shamelessly professing and proclaiming their love for each other on both of their Instagram pages and even created a couples page. Talk about, ‘team too much’.

The Lie

Erica and Safree were recently interviewed on Hot 97 with Nessa to talk about all things surrounding their relationship and the question if Erica listens to Nicki Minaj’s music came up. Erica said, “Honestly, I grew up on Lil Kim so heavy that when that came out, I was like, she’s biting my girl”.

However, Erica was lying and some Nicki stans turned into Twitter detectives and searched and found old tweets where Erica was fanning out about Nicki Minaj.

Our theory here is that Erica is now a celebrity in her own right and being labeled a fan of the woman who once had the love of your now finance’ might not sit well with Erica so she lied to try to save face.
