AceShowbiz - Erica Mena discusses her beef with Nicki Minaj in a new interview. When stopping by the "Dumb Blonde" podcast, the "Love & Hip Hop: New York" alum offered a public apology to the "Anaconda" raptress while throwing ex Safaree Samuels under the bus.

"I owe her the biggest apology," Erica shared. Referring to her estranged husband, who used to date Nicki, she said, "It's funny how life comes full circle. Because the same thing he did to her, he's doing to me years later."

She continued, "Because I sat here and allowed him to talk about her to me. From that came me saying things and defending and vouching for him and speaking up on her in a way that was tacky. Because at the end of the day, I didn't know the truth. Everything she has ever said about him is true."

According to Erica, Safaree often talked bad about Nicki in her presence. Erica said that the rapper, with whom she shares two kids together, planned to "ruin" the Trinidadian star's career and take credit for her success.

Earlier this year, Erica reflected on her relationship with Safaree. "I will FOREVER be embarrassed I gave sis these incredible beautiful babies," she wrote on Instagram back in July. "He don't even talk or care about his seeds this much online or in real life."

Nicki has yet to respond to Erica's apology. However, the "Barbie's World" femcee appeared to previously comment on Erica and Safaree's custody drama. "I don't know who needed to hear this, but good for you," she said on Instagram Live while laughing. "You see, sometimes you need to leave people dem alone."
