Bambi Flaunts A Promise Ring From Her New Man After Lil Scrappy’s Mean Comments About Her

by

Bambi is celebrating her new relationship, and her man seems like he’s also in it for the long run. Moreover, they recently shared a video of him giving her a promise ring, which was a very wholesome moment and one that sparked a lot of romantic debate in the comments section of the Instagram post below. However, it was also a moment of catharsis and clapping back for the Love & Hip Hop alum, or at least, that’s what she could have seen it as. If you didn’t hear, her ex husband Lil Scrappy recently said that he doesn’t even like her.

“I just do not like her. That’s the difference,” Lil Scrappy said of Bambi on social media, clarifying that he wouldn’t go as far as to “hate” her since his dislike is not that deep. “Hate is a strong word, strong word. I just don’t even have the energy for that s**t anymore. It’s about getting money and taking care of them kids, man. I don’t even look that way. I just keep moving, get my money. Do what I’ve been trying to do for the longest, like, I’m doing it.”

Bambi Rocks A New Promise Ring After Lil Scrappy’s Shade

But this is all pretty ironic because, for the most part, Bambi doesn’t really stoop to Lil Scrappy’s level when talking about their relationship. For example, when he announced he’s expecting another child with another woman, she seemed to respond with the announcement of her new children’s book. “A New Baby For Us” is about a group of siblings learning about how one of their parents will bring them one more sibling. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn’t it?

Regardless, as Lil Scrappy celebrates his new phase of life, Bambi is busy celebrating hers with a new man. We wonder how else their paths could overlap, as their coparenting relationship definitely faced some ups and downs in the two years or so since their split. Hopefully they can navigate these new eras respectfully and amicably, and without putting each other down too much. You don’t want to cause more drama, especially when you have kids to take care of and other potential partners to worry about.

Bambi Appears To Respond To Lil Scrappy Expecting Another Child With A Woman

by

Lil Scrappy surprised fans this week when he posted up at a baby shower with his baby mama Shakira, who’s child – his fifth – is on the way. They’re very excited to welcome their boy in the world, although it’s unclear if they actually have a relationship or if they will just remain amicable coparents. Regardless, it seems like Scrappy’s ex wife and fellow Love & Hip Hop alum Bambi Benson responded to this news. She announced her children’s book on Saturday (November 2), which is called “A New Baby For Us.” Bambi shared the cover, encouraged users to pre-order it for ten dollars, and revealed that it’s about explaining a partner’s new baby to that partner’s kids, seemingly a reflection of the former couple’s children.

“When their dad announces they’re getting a new sibling, the three children have lots of questions,” Bambi’s book description reads, apparently mirroring Lil Scrappy’s unborn child. “As they adjust to the idea of a growing family, they learn that love doesn’t divide, it multiples! Together, they create a world of imagination, joy and endless adventures, even as they navigate the changes in their family. This heartwarming story shows that even with big changes, family love is endless.”

Bambi Seemingly Reacts To Lil Scrappy’s Unborn Child

“Thank you, guys, for all of the pre-orders,” Bambi shared on her Instagram Story. “I truly pray this story will help some of you explain new family changes in a gentle way to your children.” She and Lil Scrappy seem like they’re in a great place now, even though we know that it’s not always going to be easy after a divorce. Hopefully things stay friendly and family-oriented, something that messages like these certainly help foment.

Meanwhile, Erica Dixon – the mother of Lil Scrappy’s oldest child – seemingly hasn’t addressed his unborn child yet. Maybe she, like a lot of fans, has more questions than answers about the whole thing. But at the end of the day, it’s none of our business. We’ll see if Bambi ever explicitly connects her new children’s book to Scrappy’s fifth child, and how all these relationship dynamics continue to inform each other and evolve in the near future.

Momma Dee Gets Real About Lil Scrappy’s Relationship With Bambi

by

Momma Dee doesn’t hold back, even for her son. Moreover, she recently took to her social media pages for a livestream on Lil Scrappy’s “failed” relationship with Bambi, airing out a lot of dirty laundry about the situation and revealing her unfiltered thoughts on it. Not only that, but Dee even challenged his intelligence, which brought a whole other angle to the attacks that a lot of fans probably didn’t expect to come across. Regardless, it’s yet another chapter in this long and complicated story, which is even coming up in completely unrelated incidents such as a recent Bamb fight on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.

“No, I’m not saying that I’m guilty as a mother,” Momma Dee said of Lil Scrappy. “I’m saying that I’m guilty that I should have allowed him to fall all the way and stop trying to save him. You know what I mean? No, he did something wrong. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Can’t show that n***a no grace, I see now. Can’t show Scrappy no freaking grace, can’t show him no freaking grace. Okay?

“Because he forget real quick,” Momma Dee continued. “Better stop. Yes, he had. She trying to talk to you over here, yes she is. Yes, she is. No, no, no, this one more stupider than the average young man. This one more stupider. ‘Cause I know some men that, what she did to him, they would never even bear to speak to her. I know she a witch, but he got to know that, so he didn’t get that, he didn’t get the memo.

“No, he didn’t grow up around witches, but he married one,” Momma Dee concluded. “So he away from it. But he feel like he can befriend her and coparent. But she gon’ try to get something out of it. She gon’ do him in like a step-back. Y’all love to do it, y’all love to do it.” Overall, it seems like this situation will remain messy for the foreseeable future, but we also know that these conflicts can turn around quite quickly and with grace.

Lil Scrappy & Bambi Benson Clarify Their Relationship Status On Instagram Live

by

Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta co-stars Lil Scrappy and Bambi Benson got on Instagram live to clarify their relationship. The two of them were married from 2017 to 2023, and had three kids together. They divorced last year, but continue to co-parent their kids, Xylo, Breland, and Cali.

In a recent Instagram live stream, the two of them addressed questions regarding the status of their relationship. They reiterated that they are continuing to co-parent their kids. They also confirmed that neither of them were leaving the show. The pair have both been series regulars for over ten years. The two of them also addressed a fan. The fan claimed that their network wanted to break them up for added drama. Scrappy said that they always had to go their separate ways, and that MTV did not “give a f*ck.” Based on the clips from the live stream, they are still on good terms. The pair laughed and joked with one another several times, any animosity seemingly put to rest.

Lil Scrappy has been linked to his ex, Erica Dixon, ever since he and Benson split. Dixon was an original member of the Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta cast, but left for a few years before returning in a limited role in 2018. Bambi Benson filed a court order against Scrappy in April after Dixon posted images on social media of their children, which reportedly violated the terms of their divorce agreement. The court filing did not specify that Dixon was the offending party, but fans of the show quickly figured out who she was referring to.

The two of them recently attended a party together as well, though Benson confirmed that they were not back in a relationship. MTV released a trailer of the upcoming season of their show soon after. The twelfth season premiered on July 23. Musically, Scrappy has not released anything new in almost six years. His day job as a series regular on Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta is likely enough for him at this point in his career.

Momma Dee Disses Bambi In Wild Single On “L&HHATL”: “[Scrappy] Wasn’t Broke When You On Your Knees”

If you’re among those who feel that reality TV has lost its appeal in the social media age, you might want to check out the latest shenanigans on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta before you retire watching for good. Since Blueface is behind bars and unable to provide us with new episodes of his various shows, Momma Dee has stepped up to deliver the family drama some have been missing.

The reality starlet is incredibly protective of her son, Lil Scrappy, particularly when it comes to the role of his ex, Bambi Benson in their lives. Dee has put her co-star on blast more than once, even recently accusing the 38-year-old and her mother of facing jail time for fraud. On a new episode of the MTV series, Bambi feels the heat as Dee premieres a diss track aimed at her, inviting all of their friends to a party to watch her wild music video. “Guards, protect the kingdom!” the 60-year-old declares in the clip while dressed as a mermaid.

“Thirsty a** h**, I’m the Queen of the throne / Big teeth h** now ya on your own,” she confidently raps over the interesting beat. “Thirsty a** h**, been knew you’s a groupie / Sloppy a** h**, you premiered in a jacuzzi,” Dee goes on before calling Bambi out for allegedly lying about her age, among other things. “What took me to the level to release my song [was] when Bambi attempted to attack me,” the Atlanta native shared during a confessional portion of the episode. “I’ve lost all respect for that b**ch.”

Even though Lil Scrappy has happily moved on with a new woman, Momma Dee continues to berate his ex. As of late, he’s been spending time with Erica Dixon, who’s been teasing some potential upcoming releases with her followers on social media. Because of this, some are starting to compare Scrappy to Blueface, who’s known for putting his baby mamas on to the rap game. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Scrappy Claims Bambi Benson’s Behavior Was So Egregious His Therapist Said People Wouldn’t Believe It

by

Lil Scrappy has put his ex-wife Bambi Benson on blast. The rapper and reality star claimed that Bambi’s behavior was so egregious that his therapist actively discouraged him from speaking on her. “They told me not to tell y’all. They said don’t tell nobody because nobody will understand. Because the person would not act like that in front of others,” Scrappy said.

Of course, this is not the first time that Scrappy has taken shots at Bambi. Last month, Scrappy shot back at online rumors that Bambi is actually his cousin. “Don’t come over here with that. She is baby mama number two to me,” Scrappy said while livestreaming while eating out at a restaurant. The only thing I’m connected to with her is my kids. I love my babies, y’all know that. That’s the only thing we can talk about,” Scrappy explained on the stream. Scrappy responded to the comments that he had seen online. He was not directly asked about the claims during his livestream. However, some people did ask if he had seen people talking about it.

Lil Scrappy Says He’s “Always Been In Love” With Erica Dixon

Lil Scrappy said in a recent interview that he has “always been in love” with Erica Dixon, even when seeing other people. The rapper and reality star was not spared the wrath of the internet for this declaration of love, however. “I’m so in love with you I got married and had 3 kids instead of working on myself and becoming the man that you needed, got it 😂,” one person said. “This is so cruel fr. He married a woman but was in love with another woman the whole time? He could have just played the field until she was ready to reciprocate. As a woman I would feel so bad if my bd told me that he still was in love with me after marrying a woman and giving her 3 kids, I would be so disgusted with him,” added another.

Rumors of a reunion between the two have swirled since at least Thanksgiving. Of course, the pair already share one child as a result of their decade-plus involvement with one another. However, Dixon has made it clear that her focus at the moment is finding a successful model of co-parenting with Scrappy.

Lil Scrappy & Bambi’s “Love & Hip Hop” Relationship Timeline

by

Reality television has a remarkable way of weaving together the extraordinary and the everyday. As a result, it pulls back the curtain on the lives of those who grace our screens. For example, there’s the on-again, off-again relationship between the rapper-turned-reality-TV star Lil Scrappy and Adiz “Bambi” Benson, documented extensively on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Let’s embark on the chronological roller coaster of their relationship, from the early days to their eventual divorce.     

2013-2014: Crossing Paths

Lil Scrappy and Bambi first crossed paths in 2013, on the second season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. While Scrappy is known to be a major protagonist in the franchise, Bambi first appeared as a guest star and a potential love interest for the rapper, Benzino. However, things eventually took an interesting turn when Bambi returned in the third season as Lil Scrappy’s girlfriend. This also occurred just after Scrappy had broken off his nine-year relationship with his ex-fiancé, Erica Dixon.

2015: Bambi Supports Lil Scrappy Through It All

In 2015, Lil Scrappy got into a legal battle with Eric Dixon. The battle was over the custody of their daughter, Emani. He subsequently lost and was allegedly barred from being near his ex-wife due to threats of violence. Moreover, he was ordered to pay child support. Nonetheless, throughout the entire ordeal, Bambi showed support for her man and stuck by his side.

2016: A Brief Break Up

It came as a shock when Lil Scrappy and Bambi broke up in the fifth season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Bambi eventually went on to date rapper Alecia Dennis, and it seemed like the end of the couple’s relationship. However, Scrappy took a risk and proposed to Bambi in the season finale. She took him back and accepted the proposal, gaining the support of viewers and fans. 

2017: Lil Scrappy & Bambi Say “I Do!”

Bambi appeared on three episodes of the sixth season before she shockingly called off the engagement. Reportedly, her relationship with Lil Scrappy began to sour, leading her to quit the show. Unsurprisingly, this seemed to mark the end of their relationship, finally. Nonetheless, the two surprised the public once again by getting back together offscreen. By September 2017, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. 

2018-2022: A Growing Family

The couple came back for three episodes in Season 7 of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. On the show, they announced that Bambi was pregnant with their first child. They returned the next season and chronicled the birth of their son Breland. Furthermore, their journey as parents evolved when they welcomed a daughter, Xylo, in 2020. 

Altogether, Lil Scrappy and Bambi continued to share parts of their lives on the popular reality show. By Season 10, they welcomed their third child, Cali. However, things became shaky when Scrappy’s mother, Momma Dee, found out that Bambi was planning to divorce the rapper. This led to a confrontation between the two women, which became a bone of contention on the show.

2023: Calling It Quits

After six years together, the couple called it quits and got divorced. In September 2023, Lil Scrappy hosted a massive party in Atlanta to celebrate his new single status. The rapper also took to his Instagram page to post a flier inviting everyone to his “Back Outside Divorce Party.” Since then, the former couple has stayed away from each other.

Lil Scrappy Dismisses Rumors That Bambi Benson Is His Cousin

However, some people did ask if he had seen people talking about it.

Scrappy and Bambi were married between 2017 and 2023 before an explosive divorce. The pair had three children during their marriage, whom they co-parent following the divorce. There are nothing other comments on social media to indicate that the pair have any more of a familial relationship than exes. While Scrappy has responded, Bambi is yet to add her own comments to the situation. This is an developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

However, the exes are never far from drama. Bambi went after Erica Dixon after Dixon and Scrappy vacationed in Hawaii. She did this by shading Scrappy, saying that he invited her and her kids first and that Dixon was essentially his backup option. Bambi went on to say that Scrappy “gets what he wants” and he’ll hop from woman to woman to get it. Bambi has long seen Dixon as a rival, given their shared history with Scrappy.

Furthermore, Momma Dee, Scrappy’s mother, and proud Bambi hater, called cap on Bambi’s claims. Dee argued that Bambi’s story made no sense as the Hawaiian vacation was to celebrate Dixon’s birthday. Therefore, Scrappy would have never invited Bambi in the first place. “She’s a lie, she don’t even know the truth. The more she lie, the more big her gums get,” Momma Dee noted.

Bambi Threatens Momma Dee With Legal Action Amid Long-Standing Feud

by

Bambi has threatened to take Momma Dee to court with a defamation lawsuit, amid their years-long feud. Discussing their issues with Amanda Seales on her Small Doses podcast, the Love And Hip Hop Atlanta star revealed her intentions for court.

The conversation arose while Bambi was discussing how she too often lets things go. “I just started to realize this year. People are like, ‘You let stuff go so much.’ I think if I just keep going and don’t have to deal with it, I just be like whatever, whatever. I don’t get offended by much and that’s not a good thing.” From there, Seales asked her age, noting that the mentality may catch up with her.

Bambi replied: “Let’s not talk about this right here ‘cause I’ve been having some issues with…I know you ain’t been really watching this stuff. Okay…my mother-in-law, right? I’m suing her for defamation of character because she just literally said two days ago that I used a fake ID when I went to jail and gave them the wrong age, and she’s just making a big thing out of…so let’s just…I know that’s a lot to…” Seales then remarked, “I just…can’t we all get along?” to which Bambi admitted, “No, we cannot, ma’am. We are suing people.”

The lawsuit comes after Bambi was arrested along with Erica Mena and Zell Swag for an incident at a club, last month. Momma Dee alleged that she lied about her age to police and used a fake ID. Momma Dee is the mother of Lil Scrappy, from whom Bambi recently called off her marriage.

Momma Dee Offers Her Thoughts On Bambi’s Recent Arrest

by

Momma Dee has shared her thoughts on the recent arrest of her former daughter-in-law, “Bambi” Benson. The Love & Hip Hop star was recently arrested alongside her castmates, Erica Mena and ZellSwag. The alleged brawl took place at an Atlanta lounge. Saucy Santana, who was present with his boyfriend, Zell, apparently swiftly left the situation. There have been reports that Erica Mena even bit a police officer.

In Momma Dee’s opinion, the reality star needs to “reassess” her relationship with her current friend group. “I found out Erica bit the police. Girl, don’t be getting Bambi in on trouble,” Momma Dee said in a clip posted to The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram. “Bambi, you need to reassess who you’re friends are.”

She continued: “Sierra got out the way, real quick. Ya gotta think…ya just gotta think. It ain’t worth it. Paying bonds. And you already know we [dealing] [with] Fulton County Jail. [It’s] the kinda jail [where] people coming up dead and stuff.” She added,” It’s nasty in there. Girl, don’t nobody want to be caught behind enemy lines. Ok, Bam, hope somebody tell her.” In another slide of the lengthy clip, Momma Dee continues on. “Send Momma Dee to jail and see how close I get to you. Never Again. You ain’t gonna cost me and my kids hardship, honey,” she said.

“…And Bambi love her children. And Scrappy love his children, ok. Don’t be getting Bam locked up…I don’t want her locked up…my grandkids need their mother.” However, in the wake of the official announcement, Momma Dee had a different take on the matter. As well as accusing Bambi of lying about her age, she also clowned her lash game. “Did you know she used her fake IDs when they booked her? It said she was 37 when she got booked. Yes, see, she still lying,” she said in recently surfaced clip. “She can’t afford [to be sued] because ain’t pay her divorce lawyer, did y’all know that?” Maybe the pair aren’t as close as they seem.
