As former VH1 Love & Hip Hop New York star Erica Mena gets ready to get hitched with rapper and Bow Wow, word has spread that the mother of his daughter isn't a fan of the reality star.

Erica Mena Possibly Reveals 'Details' Of Wedding Dress Via Instagram

Bow Wow just celebrated Shai Moss' fourth birthday within the last week. He shared lots of videos and snapshots of the tot enjoying her big day but one person who didn't seem to be anywhere in sight was Bow Wow's future wife. Sources told Urban Belle Magazine that Shai's mother, model Joie Chavis, does not like Mena -- especially after her controversial portrayal on Love & Hip Hop New York. Mena has decided to be cordial with Chavis but still not try to push her way into getting along with her. Still, she hopes she will come around soon.

In the meantime, Chavis posted a picture of her and Bow Wow celebrating Shai's birthday on Instagram earlier this week.

Interestingly enough, Bow Wow is very much a part of Mena's eight-year-old son, King's life. He has posted various pictures of him and the child together while Mena has yet to be in a public photo with Shai. So there might be some truth to the source's claim. While Chavis might not be too fond of Mena right now, the two do have similar views on women working hard. On Tuesday Chavis posted an inspiring message for her followers to "keep hustling."
