Lil Scrappy and Bambi Celebrate Birth of Baby Boy, ‘Still Feels Like I’m Dreaming’

Congrats are in order for Lil Scrappy and his wife Bambi after the couple welcomed a baby boy on Saturday.

Their bundle of joy, Breland, escaped the womb at approximately 9:05 p.m. on Saturday, coming at at 8 lbs. 3 oz. Fans flooded the couple with prayers and words of support earlier this week, as Bambi was expected to go into labor at any moment.

“Thanks to the big God and my wife and family the young Prince#Breland is here,” Scrappy said in an Instagram post Saturday. “Happy Gday you g [sic] man. I’m so happy and blessed from this experience, thanks to my wife @adizthebam for pushing thru like a champ.”

The rapper said it only took three pushes before young Breland was out.

Bambi said the birth of her son “still feels like a dream.” This is the couple’s first child together after they suffered a miscarriage in 2014.

“#Breland is just everything 💙 thanks for all of the prayers 🙏🏾,” she wrote Instagram.

News of their baby’s arrival sent fans into a tizzy, as they were inundated with congratulatory messages.

“Wow that’s awesome!!! 3 push for a first time mom for an 8lber is amazing!!!” one fan said. “Congratulations yall!!! Take great care of him like Im sure you will and may GOD bless your newly extended family!!”

“Congrats to the both of and may God bless you,” another fan wrote, adding, “Get plenty of rest cause your going to have some sleepless nights!”

“So happy for you both!! 🔥🔥Congratulations on the Lil King!!!,” a fan commented.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars have had their fair share of ups and downs in recent months. In June, Scrappy survived a near deadly car crash that left him with only a broken leg. He described the accident as a life changing event that turned him into a “new man.”

After a few surgeries, the former “Crime Mob” rapper was up and walking again as his wife nursed him back to health.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
