Shad Moss wants everyone to know his engagement to Love & Hip Hop reality star Erica Mena is 100% real.

While filming episodes for his role on the new CSI: Cyber series, the rapper called into 106 & Park to talk to co-host Keisha Chante about the rumors circulating around him and his fiance.

Shad states he would never get hitched for the sake of publicity.

"I think what a lot of people don't realize is me and Erica, we been knowing each other for years," he said. "If you pay attention, she's in my "Fresh Azimiz" video. She's the girl right in front of me. I been knowing her since then. And like I said, she was suppose to do [the movie] Lottery Ticket. But it's far from a publicity stunt. I've never been the type of person to do anything for publicity. I don't need it. I'm on TV everyday. How much more publicity do I need? I did this out of my heart, I did this out of love. It's time for me to sit my a** down! I'm out the game!"

The rapper didn't explain how the engagement happened, but with Love & Hip Hop: New York premiering in November, Bow Wow's proposal might be on the show.

"Um, y'all gotta wait for that," he said. "I'm not gonna let that one out of the bag, y'all gotta wait for that. I know it's what our fans want to know but they'll get that in due time.
I know a lot of people doubting and hating. Got their timers up. This ain't your regular, typical thing that's going on. This real. This is [going to] be around for a long time."
