Rapper Safaree and Erica Mena are now legally divorced. TMZ acquired some legal documents with the judge's signature on September 12.

The former couple came to their agreement through arbitration and according to the terms, the rapper would pay child support of $4,305 every month. Mena applied for divorce in May last year, with the duo residing separately but sharing joint custody of their kids.

However, during her second pregnancy in 2021, Mena revealed that her husband was cheating on her and reportedly threw away all his belongings. A month after she filed for divorce, in June 2021, Mena and Safaree's son was born.
