Tiny Harris’ Mom Dismisses Troll’s Pregnancy Speculation About Granddaughter Zonnique Pullins

Rumors of Zonnique Pullins being pregnant are still floating around the Internet, and it’s prompting her family members to come to her defense against detractors.

Diane Cottle-Pope, the mother of Xscape member Tiny Harris and grandmother of Pullins, apparently had enough of folks claiming her granddaughter was pregnant by boyfriend Bandhunta Izzy.

Pullins, who formerly starred on “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta,” posted family portraits of herself, her mother and grandmother seemingly spending the day together on March 12. Pullins and her family appeared to be at a park as posed for a solo photo in her Mistress Rocks high-waist joggers and a cropped white long-sleeved shirt.

The 22-year-old captioned the Instagram images, “Looks aren’t everything but I have them just in case 😁” while adding, “ANY & EVERYTHING bout them,” of photos with her mom and grandmother.

One fan in particular commented on Pullins’ supposed “pregnancy glow” she was displaying in her solo photo.

“You look pregnant pooh,” the Instagram troll wrote. “You have that pregnancy glow.”

Pullins’ grandmother, Cottle-Pope, dispelled the child-bearing rumors about her granddaughter by telling the person to “forget” about them.

“Please forget it she’s not pregnant,” Cottle-Pope shot back. “When she gets pregnant we will tell the world.”

Earlier in January, Harris also jumped to her daughter’s defense against pregnancy-pushing Nellies who claimed Pullins was hiding her alleged growing baby bump with over-sized clothing.

Fans of the 22-year-old reality actress agreed with her mother and grandmother’s stance that Pullins wasn’t pregnant.

“Where are they getting this from? She looks nowhere near pregnant🤦🏾‍♀️.”

“She doesn’t even look pregnant. People say anything. Smh 😒😑.”

“She literally don’t even ‘look’ pregnant 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍ she’s in bomb shape people just be talking out they ass 🙄.”

However, in February 2018 Pullins pulled a prank on fans by telling them to stop focusing on Kylie Jenner’s then-pregnancy with baby Stormi and said she had child-bearing news of her own.

“While Y’all been waiting to hear from Kylie, ya missed my whole pregnancy,” she wrote in an Instagram post with a photo of her and her new puppy she’d adopted at the time.

She later addressed her baby announcement on “The Real” by saying she was a pet parent.

“I had a child his name is whisky, he’s a puppy. … He is a Pomeranian; he is so cute.” She continued by jokingly stating, “Being a mom, my life has changed. It is time-consuming, I feel so bad about leaving him alone. So I am looking for godparents to babysit him.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
