Shad Moss planning June wedding

Rapper/actor Shad Moss is planning to exchange vows with his fiancee Erica Mena in June (15).

The 27-year-old star, formerly known as Bow Wow, announced his engagement to the Love & Hip Hop New York beauty in September (14) after a whirlwind romance, and now he's dreaming of his big day.

He says, "I've got images in my head of how it will be. I'm excited... What we have is real genuine."

And Moss has assured fans his romance isn't as whirlwind as it seems - he has been friends with his fiancee for some time.

He tells People.com, "I've known Erica for a long, long time. We noticed we had a lot in common and just took it day by day. You know how it goes, you text one day, then start texting every day.

"She's very smart, silly, knows how to hustle. And she's electrifying. Any time you have all of that in a woman, what more could you want...?"

Moss, who has a three-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, continues, "I wanted to be a better man than my father was. This relationship has definitely changed me as a person."
