Erica Mena and Rich Dollaz definitely brought the drama to Love & Hip Hop this season, Erica Mena having her own doses of drama going on off the set of the show involving other folks in the business. Before the third season got a chance to kick off, whispers suggested that congrats were in order for Erica Mena and Rich Dollaz as it was rumored that they had gotten engaged. Rich Dollaz didn’t let the rumor linger long as he denied making Erica his fiancee’, and seemed to be denying their relationship altogether. Mixing business with pleasure in this case was a no go as far as Erica Mena and Rich Dollaz were concerned as Rich gave Erica a shot at her music career taking on the role as her manager, Erica now claiming that she has a thing for women now. Erica Mena recorded the song ‘Where Do I Go From Here’ with Rich but he eventually gave the song to Olivia after Erica refused to sign a contract that he drew up between them. Talking with Writers Life Chats, Erica Mena talks about her initial intentions with Rich Dollaz and says that she wasn’t looking to get into anything serious with him in the beginning and says though that she is grateful for what he did for her and her career:

“My intention with Rich going into it was strictly business…The one thing, I don’t care what nobody says, I will always be grateful to everything Rich has done for me. I will never take that from him because he’s given me the outlet…But you gotta go with your gut. And as much as he was riding for me, and trust me honey, I was riding much harder. But something didn’t feel right. It was the pressure of this contract where I get it, he had to be cautious. But I kinda thought that because he believed in me and I believed in him, we were automatically in this together. And eventually the contract will come…I think in the end, I made the best decision.Take your song. I hope it helps Liv come back from the dead because we all know she’s not going far. And hopefully from that, he can grow from this. To do something like that to somebody says a whole lot about your character. And you know what, in the end, I stuck to my guns and thank God I did because I would be stuck with not only management that deceives you and is a snake, have people spy on you and all this other craziness…”

And in the same breath, Erica goes in on Rich’s skills as a manager, saying that Rich couldn’t make a decision on his own without consulting other people and calls him a mama’s boy:

“Rich needed opinions from a guy that hasn’t rapped in 100 years and probably has nothing to show for nothing and the opinion of his momma, who is always gonna freakin’ cater to you and baby you and tell you what you wanna hear. And I needed a real man let alone, a real manager. So my gut was telling me not to sign for a reason.”

Erica also talks about her upcoming book titled ‘Underneath It All’ that she is releasing, which is focusing on the troubling things that she has been through in the past, and she says that she hopes that people can learn from her mistakes to keep themselves from making the same ones she did:

“If I can tell my story, that this is the mistake I made and it saves somebody the headache of thinking that you have somebody that’s down for you, when they’re only going to back stab you and give your song away behind your back, then so be it.”

As far as her music is concerned, Erica says that she is keeping things going with it as she is about to drop a video for ‘Where Do I Go From Here’.

As we recently reported, Erica Mena and DJ Envy confirmed their affair. Erica, the feisty Latina and star of Love and Hip Hop, put the Breakfast Club DJ on blast in some of her interviews and Twitter account before he eventually admitted to it on the morning show on Monday. Although he says he has already told his wife all the details regarding his pretty shady actions, Erica Mena isn’t too happy with his confession. And it’s pretty understandable since he did call her a bird and claimed she is “beneath him.” After Envy confirmed that he did creep around with Erica, Erica took to her Twitter account to give her side of the story. And according to the reality television star, she didn’t even know he was married considering she claims he didn’t even wear his wedding ring.

While Erica plans to give her side to the story in full in her upcoming tell-all book, she is also speaking a little more about the situation in between tweets. In some of her latest tweets, Erica is now claiming that she wasn’t the only one DJ Envy was having an affair with. According to Erica, he pretty much walked around New York without his wedding ring and made many women think he was available because he didn’t claim his wife.

Erica tweets:

Erica is also claiming that she has some pretty scandalous pictures of her and Envy, and now that’s he’s pretty much called her trash, she plans to put those “trashy” pictures in her tell-all book which is set for release in a couple of weeks.

Love and Hip Hop star Erica Mena is definitely one of the more fiery chicks on the show. Even though the reality star is now taking a stab at something new and trying to launch a music career, she’s still pretty much still up to her old tricks and causing controversy like always in her life off-screen. Recently, she made headlines for fighting at a nail salon, and then of course she pranked the media and had folks thinking she was pregnant for all of 24 hours. And with the announcement of a recent book deal, it’s clear that Erica has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

In a recent interview with I Am Super Gorge, Erica talks her current relationship status with Rich Dollaz, the pregnancy rumors, what really went down at the nail salon that day and led to the brawl, and what she’s got lined up in the future.

On her current relationship status with Rich Dollaz, she says:

“Right now we are kind of taking a break. Me and Rich have been overwhelmed and consumed by this bullsh*t about work and it just been a lot. It’s not like we’re over and done with but we decided to kind of take it easy, in the sense of focusing on work more. We’re so passionate about work that it kind of conflicts with our relationship a little bit. So right now the main focus is work.”

When it comes to the fight Erica had at the nail salon, the reason she gives behind the brawl is a surprising one:

“Long story short, I was approached by Rich. It’s no secret women are attracted to me. I have a thing where ladies are secretly attracted to me. I’m definitely not shy about my sexuality and I think Rich came to the realization with that. It kind of spiraled out of control. Just to clear up the air, I wasn’t fighting over a guy. In fact, the fight was over a female claiming to have slept with me.”

Erica also addressed the pregnancy rumors, but didn’t confirm or deny the reports (although there is a photo of her recently chugging down a bottle of patron at a party circulating the blogs):

“I would rather keep people in suspense, but you guys will be surprised at the final answer. I’m real excited.”

The reality star also revealed her plans to take a stab at an acting career:

“I’m going to start shooting a movie in Toronto for about two weeks. I’m playing a female boxer. “

Is Erica Mena pregnant? Reality television star and Love and Hip Hop villain Erica Mena is used to being the center of controversy. From her onscreen fights to petty catfights with her fellow cast members, the feisty Latina has no qualms playing the role of the reality TV bad girl. While Erica is supposed to be dating Olivia’s manager Rich Dollaz, there are moments where it doesn’t even seem like the couple is on the same page. At one point Erica suggested they were engaged, but Rich denied Erica’s claims and even Rich was even called out by a woman on Twitter for not being faithful. This led some to think Rich and Erica’s relationship is fake, but that hasn’t stopped Erica from getting involved in Rich’s nasty baby mama issues.

Now it’s been rumored that Erica might be adding to Rich’s baby mama issues. She took to her Instagram account the other night and posted pictures of herself sporting what appeared to be a baby bump. Multiple blogs have been reporting that Erica is pregnant, but we found it hard to believe considering that she didn’t look pregnant in her other photos from that night and she just got into a fight at a nail salon a couple of days ago.

Here’s the picture that had people thinking Erica could be carrying Rich’s seed:

It didn’t take long for Erica to suggest that the whole thing was nothing more than a joke, as she tweeted the following (read from the bottom up):

A close look at the other photos shows Erica is most likely not pregnant:

Clearly you never know with Erica, but from the looks of her tweets and additional photos from that night, she was most likely playing the blogs and this “pregnancy” is nothing more than a stunt.
