Looks like being engaged to Shad “Bow Wow” Moss has already changed Love & hip hop star Erica Mena more than we expected. After announcing her engagement, Erica made it pretty clear that her new love wasn’t going to make an appearance on her hit reality show, Love & Hip Hop during the upcoming Season 5. But in a recent interview with Vibe, Erica dished that once she becomes a wife, she’ll be walking away from the franchise as well.
“It’s time to be a wife. It’s time to be the woman my man needs. My man don’t need a girl that’s on TV, my man needs a girl by his side,” Erica said of ditching Love & Hip Hop once she walks down the aisle.
And despite being totally happy with her decision to walk away from the show that earned her the hashtag #MenaMondays, Erica does admit that it will be a little sad to let it go. “It’s kind of bittersweet, this whole process, especially filming this last season. Even though there’s still the Erica Mena crazy stuff going on, this really is the best season ever for me.” But if you think Erica will miss the days of being cray cray on TV, guess again.
“I’ve been working my butt off since I was 16; I was 16 in a Fabolous video. I’m 27 now. I’ve had a good run. I’m bowing out gracefully, on my own terms,” she said, adding, “Plants need to be repotted every once in a while, and I need to repot myself. Love & Hip Hop has opened doors for me, it’s even brought me to this position where I was actually able to host 106, and get to that level with Shad. I think it’s done everything it was supposed to do for me. Now it’s time to let another Erica Mena in the door. ”
Speaking of the wedding in question, Erica also dished that both she and Shad are looking at two venues, she’s got three designers in mind for her dress, and even teased that the wedding date is “soon. Very soon.”
