Bambi Sets the Record Straight on the “Baby Mama” Label
Bambi, a star of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, is pushing back against being labeled “baby mama” by her ex-husband, Lil Scrappy.
In a recent clip from the reality show, Bambi confronted Scrappy over his use of the term to describe her, making it clear that she finds the label disrespectful—especially coming from him.
The former couple, who divorced in 2023, share three children: Brilant, Zoyo, and Cali.
Despite their history, Bambi has drawn a hard line on how she’s addressed, asserting that her role in Scrappy’s life and the lives of their children goes far beyond that label.
The Scene Unfolds
In the episode, Bambi joined Scrappy, Amy, Luciana, and Spice for a group discussion.
After Amy shared her perspective, Scrappy chimed in, saying, “I don’t like being in drama with my baby mama.”
Bambi immediately called him out, asking if he was referring to Erica Dixon, the mother of his eldest daughter, Emani.
Scrappy clarified that he meant Bambi herself, which prompted her to firmly respond, “Don’t refer to me as your baby mama. Don’t do that.”
When pressed, she doubled down, emphasizing that as his ex-wife and the mother of his three children, she deserved more respect.
Fellow cast member K. Red supported her stance, interjecting, “That’s your ex-wife.”
In a confessional segment, Bambi elaborated on her feelings:
“When Scrap is in my presence, you will absolutely respect me. You will never refer to me as your baby mama because you married me and I gave you three children. That is never going to give ‘baby mama.’”
A Complicated History
Bambi’s reaction comes amidst ongoing discussions about Scrappy’s relationships.
Before their marriage, Scrappy was engaged to Erica Dixon, with whom he shares an 18-year-old daughter, Emani. However, Bambi is the only woman he has married and had children with during their union.
Adding to the complexity, in December 2024, Scrappy welcomed a son, Kyrie, conceived during a reported three-way encounter with Kyrie’s mother, Shakira.
This revelation has only added tension to the narrative surrounding Scrappy’s relationships.
Social Media Reacts
After The Shade Room shared the clip on Instagram, over 18,300 comments poured in, with many viewers siding with Bambi’s rejection of the “baby mama” label.
Supporters praised her for demanding respect and reminding Scrappy of her role in his life.
Bambi’s Exception
Despite her firm stance against being called “baby mama,” Bambi made an exception for her current romantic interest, known as Ray Face.
On Instagram, she posted a playful selfie video with Ray, showcasing their affection with nose rubs and kisses. In the caption, she humorously wrote, “If I’m anybody’s baby mama” alongside heart-eye emojis.
Final Thoughts
Bambi’s story reflects her journey of reclaiming her narrative and demanding respect as more than just a label.
Her unwavering stance resonates with fans, many of whom continue to support her efforts to establish her worth in both her personal life and on reality TV.
