Lil Scrappy’s Wife Bambi Checks Fan Who Calls Her a ‘Side Chick’

Lil Scrappy‘s wife and mother of his child Bambi decided to set someone straight who referred to her as a “side chick,” and she did so succinctly, while seemingly keeping her composure.

It started when a social media user with the handle cameilla_iris left a comment under a photo of Bambi and Scrappy playing with their daughter Breland Richardson.

“Side chick turned wifey. #Goals,” that person wrote under a post that surfaced on Friday (March 15).

Bambi shot back and told cameilla_iris that she was never a side chick, and that’s why she’s now Scrappy’s wife.

“Side chicks become baby mommas, honey,” wrote Bambi. “I’ve always been the one.”

Afterwards, a lot of folks brought up Erica Dixon, who Scrappy also has a child with named Emani Richardson, and some thought Bambi was referring to Dixon as the one who’s the real side chick.

“She’s saying if she was just a side chick, then she would be another BM like Erica. But instead she’s his wifey,” one person wrote.

Others said Bambi was the real side chick, because Dixon was with the “Head Bussa” rapper first, but a lot of people disagreed with that reasoning.

“She was never the side chick,” someone wrote about Scrappy’s wife. “He and Erica was done when they was talking….. and he might of slid with Erica a few times that why she said that.”

But there’s a good chance that Dixon couldn’t care less about being referred to as a side chick — if that was the case — because last month the former “Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta” star announced that she’s pregnant with twins, and she’s due in May.

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.
