Erica Mena Shades Draya Michele, Draya Responds

There’s some reality star shade going on between a former Basketball Wife and a “Love & Hip Hop” star.

Draya Michele is currently promoting “We Belong Together”, a new BET movie she’s producing and starring in that airs Saturday and she tweeted about it this week.

Unfortunately for her, however, it looks like Erica Mena sent some not so subtle shade her way over it and tweeted to BET directly;

“Let’s get this right! @BET I’m ready when you are. Let’s Get a GOOD Actress in Y’all Movies.”

SHAAAAADE.

Draya’s since issued a response and the Mint Swim creator is keeping it classy.

“I’m never blowing out the next women’s candle to make my flame shine brighter.”

Why so shady Erica??? The timing of that tweet doesn’t look like a coincidence…

See her explanation on the flip.

According to Erica, everyone’s got it all wrong, she wasn’t shading Draya at all—-even though her tweet came out AFTER Draya started promoting the project.
In fact, she doesn’t even KNOW Draya—she just “knows of her.”

“I know of her, I don’t know her. I wouldn’t know what she what she’s doing, I wouldn’t care. There’s just no reason to. I was reaching out to BET inquiring about castings. I decided to put it out there publicly.

SUUUUURE.

Erica’s sticking to her guns, she was NOT shading Draya.

“Reminder!! Y’all don’t need to add me to the mix to get promo you know,” said Erica.
