March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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 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

February 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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.

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

January 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Scrappy has 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.

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.

Momma Dee Blasts Bambi For Lying About Dixon & Scrappy

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

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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

August 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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.”

“My Grandkids Need Their Mother,” Momma Dee Says

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.

Momma Dee Spills The Tea While Reacting To Bambi Benson’s Arrest

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It didn’t take long for Momma Dee to react to the arrest of several of her former Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta co-stars. Erica Mena, Bambi Benson, and Rodney “ZellSwag” Shaw were booked after a nightclub altercation. The trio were charged with willful obstruction of an officer, with Mena and Shaw also receiving battery charges. Momma Dee quickly reacted to the news as it began to circulate online.

After promoting her line of lash extensions and referring to “receiving some papers” she “couldn’t talk about”, Momma Dee went in on Bambi. “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.” According to most records, Bambi Benson is in fact 42. But Momma Dee wasn’t done. “She can’t afford [to be sued] because ain’t pay her divorce lawyer, did y’all know that?” Furthermore, Dee mentioned that Bambi had been arrested because she wasn’t wearing Dee’s lashes to protect her. It seems that there is absolutely no love lost between these co-stars.

As the story spread, more information about what went down has emerged. The new details mostly come from Saucy Santana, who is currently dating ZellSwag. According to Santana, a very drunk Mena was trying to fight security and ended up roping in Bambi and ZellSwag to help. Santana dipped once they saw things starting to go south.

This was followed by footage of Mena “jumping and screaming” in her seat, which appears to validity Santana’s description of her demeanor at the time of the incident. According to the Fulton County Jail records, Mena was released on August 26 on a $20,000 bond. Meanwhile, ZellSwag was released on a $10,000 bond. Bambi, booked under her legal name Addie Richardson, was released on a $5,000 bond. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

Erica Mena Arrested In Atlanta With Bambi & ZellSwag After Bar Fight: Report

August 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On Friday (August 25), what was intended to be a normal night in Atlanta for Erica Mena took a turn. According to WSBTV, the Love & Hip-Hop cast member was arrested at the Lucca Lounge on Pharr Road just before midnight. She and two others – Bambi Benson and Rodney Shaw (best known as ZellSwag) – were taken into police custody at the time, along with Kareem Cadet. Everyone involved is in their mid-to-late 30s, and officers have yet to reveal what led up to the physical spat.

The group of troublemakers was taken to the Fulton County Jail. Reports reveal that all four are facing charges of willful obstruction of a law officer. In addition to that, both Mena and Zell received simple battery with the former also facing simple battery against a police officer. At this time, no footage of the altercation has been leaked. Still, social media is having a field day speculating about what might have caused the drama.

Erica Mena’s Weekend is Off to a Bumpy Start

“They are all too d**n old to be fighting like WTH? I know SANTANA somewhere punching the air yelling, ‘Free my manzzzzz,’” one user joked of the “Booty” rapper’s likely reaction to finding out about his beau’s arrest. “The fact Bambi and Erica wanted to be mean girls and now the baby daddies can use this in court,” another person pointed out. “I’m just confused as to where did Zell come from? How did he get into this???”

Usually, when Erica Mena’s name is in the headlines for unflattering reasons, it has to do with Safaree. That might not have been the case this time around, but back in the spring, she publicly lashed out at her ex for gifting Rolex watches to Amara La Negra’s infant twins on their birthday.
