<p><strong>Spice</strong> and <strong>Erica Mena</strong> got into a <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/watch-coca-vango-viral-clip-cheating-lightskinkeisha/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heated exchange</a> during a lunch outing on a recent episode of &#8220;Love &; Hip Hop ATL.&#8221; While discussing Erica&#8217;s marriage to <strong>Safaree Samuels</strong>, tension turned to insults and attempts at physical violence. After Spice targeted Erica&#8217;s relationship with her eldest son, King, Mena flipped a table.</p>

<p>Though the show crew prevented the women from beating on each other, they both threw objects and <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jt-phone-lil-uzi-vert-bet-awards-ice-spice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hurled insults</a> from across the restaurant. At one point, Mena proclaimed the Jamaican singer should&#8217;ve died during her health scare last year. Erica also labeled her castmate a &#8220;blue monkey,&#8221; which caught fire online for its historically racist undertones. While leaving the venue, she also directed monkey sounds at the singer.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Spice took to Instagram to respond to Erica&#8217;s insults. She compared Erica&#8217;s reaction to her with her <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/social-media-reacts-scrappy-cooking-diamond-divorce-bambi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responses to Lil Scrappy</a> and Stevie J in separate, similar incidents.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kids are off limits right????? But I guess it&#8217;s only when I ask cause where&#8217;s the same energy when Scrappy and Stevie J talked about it, but now I&#8217;m a monkey and should have died on the table? Ok Erica,&#8221; Spice wrote.</p></blockquote>
<p>As previously reported, in November 2022, Spice <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/spice-reveals-emergency-health-scare-shuts-down-rumors-of-a-coma-or-heart-attack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shut down rumors</a> of suffering a coma or heart attack. However, the dancehall artist revealed her body underwent severe sepsis after a damaged hernia.</p>
<p>She celebrated her &#8220;second rebirth&#8221; in March with a <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/watch-spice-says-fake-baby-bump-represented-new-life-after-near-death-from-sepsis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fake pregnancy photoshoot</a> that sent social media into a tailspin. She also gave additional details of her medical scare, including that she &#8220;literally died.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">LHHATL&#8217;s Shekinah &; Social Media Users React To Erica Mena&#8217;s &#8220;Monkey&#8221; Insult Towards Spice</h3>
<p>Erica has yet to respond &#8212; at least publicly &#8212; to Spice&#8217;s call out. But the singer isn&#8217;t the only one tussling with Erica&#8217;s &#8220;monkey&#8221; insult and death wish.</p>
<p>During the same episode, castmate <strong>Shekinah Anderson</strong> acknowledged how Erica Mena&#8217;s comment landed. Shekinah was also present for the almost-brawl.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Erica I cannot believe you, you just called this girl a monkey and then said she should&#8217;ve died. What type of sh*t is this? You have Jamaican children. Would you like if someone called your children monkeys? You shouldn&#8217;t have did that Erica. That was out of line.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Erica&#8217;s silence on social media about the incident might be attributed to other looming legal troubles. Atlanta <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/momma-dee-saucy-santana-erica-mena-bambi-zellswag-atlanta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police arrested Mena</a>, Bambi, and ZellSwag inside the Lucca Lounge last Friday (Aug. 25).</p>
<p>Lounge employees reportedly asked the group, including Saucy Santana, before he left the scene to leave, and their alleged refusal turned into a tussle with security.</p>
<p>Mena was hit with four charges, including two counts of simple battery, one count of battery against an officer, and one count of willful obstruction of justice.</p>
<p>After the arrests, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwaxOihvV5O/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saucy claimed Erica</a> was &#8220;very belligerent&#8221; amid the chaos.</p>
