The death of Rich Homie Quan has rocked the music world. There's a collective sense of shock, given the rapper was only 34 years old. Musical peers and social media personalities who knew Rich Homie Quan have taken to social media to express their heartbreak. Erica Mena was one of these people, but her tribute turned into a much messier situation. Akbar V, Mena's former co-star on Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, hinted at some previously unknown info about Quan. She claimed that Quan and Mena had a "secret" relationship outside of the rapper's family.

The whole thing started innocently enough. Erica Mena posted photos of her and Rich Homie Quan with a heartfelt caption. "I'm just glad we were able to enjoy some peaceful and memorable moments," Mena wrote. Akbar V quote tweeted Mena and proceeded to blow up her spot. She told Mena to "delete those pics and videos out of respect for his family." Akbar V then went into more detail about Rich Homie Quan and Mena's relationship, alleging they had a long-standing connection. "You was a secret," she added. "And not saying what y'all shared was fake but certain stuff should remain a secret."

Erica Mena Deleted Her Rich Homie Quan Tribute On Twitter

It's a bit odd to tell someone to keep a secret and then proceed to share the secret with the world, but that's precisely what Akbar V did. She told Erica Mena that she better be careful with what she reveals now that Rich Homie Quan is dead. "Here comes all the unwanted hate towards you that you didn't even know existed," she warned. "Think before you do stuff lil one." Mena removed her initial post after Akbar V's warning.

It remains to be seen whether the Quan claims are true. Mena deleting the post is a little suspicious, but the Love and Hip Hop star has a long, sordid history with Akbar V. It's possible she just wanted to avoid conflict with the rapper. Akbar V had nothing to do with Mena getting fired from Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, but the two celebs did get into several disagreements during their shared screen time. Quan is survived by his girlfriend, Amber Williams, and four children. He shared his two youngest with Williams, who made the fateful 911 call after the rapper died.
