"Love & Hip Hop" star Erica Mena sure knows how to plan a surprise as she recently splurged on a new car as a present for her fiancé Bow Wow (born Shad Moss). 

According to Wetpaint, Erica and Bow Wow are known to have a liking for treating each other to extravagant gifts, and on Tuesday, May 19, she decided to surprise her man by getting him a brand new BMW sports car. 

The "CSI: Cyber" star took to Instagram to let fans have a look at the luxurious vehicle and send his lady a message. 

"I wake up this morning and this happens!" Bow Wow wrote. "@iamerica_mena you crazy momma! Can't believe she did this. I never had a woman buy me nothing like this! Only other person my momma. E a real 1. I don't know if I can top this. Wow she really bought this! #l8moss #goals #motivated." 

In the video, the rapper-actor is completely bowled over by the gesture, and Erica can be heard saying, "You deserve it! So do you like it, your brand new car?" 

In her own Instagram post, Erica said that she gave him the car as a reward for working so hard on "CSI: Cyber," which has been renewed for a second season. 

It's not only Erica who likes to give lavish gifts. Last week, Bow Wow took to Facebook to inform his fans that he was planning to upgrade Erica's 4-5 carat round cut diamond to "something even more crazy." 

Erica dropped by "The Gossip Table" earlier this week to share a few details of their nuptials. The "Love & Hip Hop" alum said that they are going to have a destination wedding and that celebrity wedding designer Preston Bailey is in charge of all the details. Erica also said that their wedding is going to be intimate yet extravagant and that people can expect to see her and Bow Wow "doing a spin on things." 

Bow Wow popped the question back in September 2014 after six months of dating. Although they have known each other for years, an on-camera kiss set the romance in motion. It was reported that their wedding date was pushed back from April 2015 to June. No specific date has been given as of the moment.
