I have never heard of this in my life,” he captioned the clip alongside laughing emojis. “I was watching @e_bankssss and she said I wanna do that.”

Fans on social media have been happy to see Samuels getting to spend time with his children, whom he shares with Erica Mena. “happy he able to see his kids this is beautiful despite whatever him and erica got going on . i hope the put their differences to the side cuz them videos was nasty work,” one user wrote on Instagram when The Shade Room shared the clip. Another wrote: “We love to see it!!! & they all look happy….And this is why we go so hard because y’all so quick to call men Deadbeats over a woman’s narrative…. If this man is spending time with his kids, making them happy….that’s good! & just because he doesn’t do EXACTLY what Erica says or pays more money or does what she wants or thinks he should, when she wants or thinks he should…. That does NOT make him a deadbeat.”
