The grammatically correct thing to use is "my mama doesn't like you"
Various English speaking groups use this speech pattern. It's common for some Americans to use this pattern, as well as many working-class English people, and lots more. It comes with a lot of social significance, as others might make assumptions about education level, etc, if you use that speech pattern.
