Erica Mena Talks Bow Wow’s Package, Split With Ex-Girlfriend & Quitting Reality TV For Love

relationship with Cyn. Then that kiss happened, and it put us both in the dog house with the people we were with. And it actually just so happened that Cyn was supposed to be part of that scenario. We were supposed to reenact that me kissing Rich in the studio [scene on Love & Hip-Hop], but this time have Cyn come out and do a little spoof on that. Cyn was with someone else and had an agenda of her own so she never made it –

With someone else, like cheating?

She’s with someone else. She has been the whole time we were dating. You guys are gonna see all this transpire. But with or without Cyn, the show must go on. So me and Bow kissed, we got in trouble, and after that kiss is when I saw his feelings for me really start to show on that higher level. When I realized I was in love with him, it was the craziest thing because once I told him that me and Cyn were really done and over with, the first thing he was really concerned about was how I felt. So before he kind of made his initial move, he was trying to literally, as a friend, keep me going through that whole breakup. That’s when I realized it was more than that. Just because this is someone that actually gives a fuck about me as a person, my feelings, my mindstate. So it was the first time I really found someone who didn’t care about the Rich thing, didn’t care what people said about me, didn’t care about nothing but just Erica Mena the person.

And Bow Wow recently went all out for your birthday. Was the engagement as spectacular?

No, it was the simplest thing. It was an ‘us’ moment, a few hours actually, and we were just opening up. And the way he popped the question I think was just the most romantic thing ever in life.

How did he do it?

Well I’ll say this: we were by ourselves, and we were at home, and – I don’t wanna give too much – but he said he got sick of me being a girlfriend. He was done, he was tired of me being a girlfriend. And that’s all I’ll say.

Well I don’t know if this frustrates him or not, but everybody still sort of sees Bow Wow as Lil’ Bow Wow. It takes people time to see him as a grown man –

Well that’s because none of his dick pics have been leaked before.

Oh. So Bow Wow’s holding?

It’s a full hand. A fist and shit.

Is he dominant in bed?

Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And that’s crazy. ‘Cause you know how you’re like, they see him as Lil’ Bow Wow? I become Lil’ Erica with him.

Wow. So make us see Bow Wow the man. You say he tames you? What is it about him?

I’m very submissive with him. Very. He’ll give me look. It’s like whatever he wants. I don’t know why. It’s hard to explain. He makes the rules. He’s in charge. He has control. I don’t know, it’s just the way he is. He doesn’t play no games. And I think I just have so much respect for him more than anything. That’s what it is, once you find a man that loves you, you instantly have no choice but to give him all the respect in the world. That’s our role as women when we come into a relationship, to respect and honor your man. I never once respected someone as much as I respect him. That naturally keeps me in my place.

You two are engaged now, which means two families are about to come together. Do you have a relationship with his daughter yet?

I don’t wanna speak too much on his situation. It’s very touchy and there’s another parent involved that I’m gonna always respect. But he is very involved in my son’s life now. His mother raised him so well, that he is not only taking on being a great father to his daughter, he’s an exceptional step dad to my son. And I’ve never brought anyone around my son. No one. For this to be the first man, and the man I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with, it’s definitely a big deal for me. It’s that serious to me and extremely sacred. And now, I get to share that with someone. It’s dope. Now my family is really complete.

Another comment on your relationship with Bow Wow has been that you just want him for his money. What do you say to that?

The thing is that Bow stays more at my house than I do at his fancy stuff. I don’t have Bow Wow money, but I have my own money. When it comes to that, he’s my fiance, so now he’s going to naturally take care of me. If I wanted Bow or any man for their money, I definitely would’ve gotten a billionaire. If you’re gonna be a gold digger, be digging for the real gold. I don’t even really know how to answer that, because it’s just like, people are going to have their assumptions. And they have to realize, I didn’t ask him to marry me. He asked me. So, if that was my intention, I think I would’ve threw him the pussy a long time ago.

Once you guys are married, do you plan to stay on TV?

No. 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. That’s really what it’s about right now for me. 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.
