Love and Hip Hop celebrity Erica Mena runs off with promoter's money to purchase drugs..?
Last week Instagram gossip blogger Celeb_Gozzip got their hands on video of Erica Mena fighting with a party promoter in Cleveland, OH who was attempting to eject Erica from her hotel room after she failed to show up for a club appearance after they paid for her flight, her hair, her make-up, three hotel rooms and her appearance fee.
Apparently there was much more to the story than that.
From Celeb Gossip
[The promoter] Traci says the club is filled with at least 800 people, and Erica is nowhere to be found so she begins texting her manager again, and its now 1 am. Remember, Erica was contracted to be at the club from 12 am until 2 am.
At 1:10 pm Erica texts them and informs them she is outside in the car, and is not coming inside until she is paid an additional $275 dollars. Traci's sister, goes to the car to pay Erica, and claims Erica was in a rage, yelling, and cursing, and making her demands for the money, advising she would not come inside until she received it.Traci's sister gives Erica the money, and goes back inside the club to wait for Erica.
Traci says its 1:50 pm at this point, and she then starts receiving more text messages from Erica, who is still in the parking lot saying she now wants $1,000 dollars or she is not coming inside. Traci says she was a nervous wreck, and her reputation as a promoter was on the line, so once again she gave into Erica's demands, and Traci's sister went outside to hand Erica the money. Now this is were things get cray cray. Traci's sister claims when she went outside and approached the car, as SOON, I repeat, AS SOON as the money entered Erica's hand the driver hits the gas throttle, and the car takes off!!!!!
At this point Erica has received $1775 in cash. Traci frantically starts trying to contact the driver that she paid for through a transportation company, to try to find out what's going on. The club closes at 2 am, and at this point people are leaving and she had to start giving refunds to a good portion of the club goers that had arrived to see Erica Mena.
They finally get a hold of the driver who informs them he was instructed to pull off, and he claimed Erica instructed him to take her to the hood because she wanted to quote "shoot her 1 and 2" unquote, saying she wanted to get high.
Traci arrives back at the hotel and says staff informed her that they overheard Erica saying "I don't like working with these black monkeys," saying, " I don't usually do business with these black monkeys."
