Recently, it was revealed that Erica Mena was removed from the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ franchise after she went viral and faced backlash for calling Jamaican artist Spice a “monkey.” Following that, her show co-star Lil Scrappy defended Mena, saying, “I think that’s pretty bozo of them to fire somebody after they set s**t up. They set you up and put you…they get you all hyped up.”
Now, Scrappy has walked back his defense of Mena, noting the change came after seeing the full clip of Mena’s comments. “I just seen the clip and that shit’s fucked up. You know, I don’t ever want to wish someone be fired or put in jail or dead,” Scrappy began. “I don’t want that shit for Erica. But she was wrong. Erica Mena was wrong. Erica Mena was wrong….Colorism is real. We do know that. Racism is real. Hate is real.” Watch above.
