Most people came to know Erica Mena as the fiesty, loud-mouthed Bronx girl on Love & Hip Hop, who is always TTG.

But believe it or not, Mena has been on her grind years before LHH was even an option.

In honor of the reality star/ video vixen/ professional hand thrower’s 31st birthday, let’s take a look her history in Hollywood.

While in Miami, Mena use to work for the Kardashians as a Dash Doll where she was allegedly fired for her erratic behavior. She even appeared on a few episodes of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami.

 

Her dating history is pretty thick too. Her child’s father is Terror Squad member Raul Conde.

Back in 2011, she was in a relationship with Joe Budden’s current girlfriend, Cyn Santana. Their love (and fights) were out there for the world to see on LHHNY.

After Bow, Mena got a little more serious about her acting. She appeared on Netflix’s Master Of None in 2017.

These days, Erica Mena has taken her talents back to Love & Hip Hop — but this time she’s in ATL, fighting with Stevie J. 

Happy Birthday, Mena! Wishing you more love and success, less vein poppin’ fights.
