‘Oh My How Time Flies’: Lil Scrappy Fans Shocked to See Baby Breland Crawling Already at 6 Months

Lil Scrappy and Bambi‘s baby boy just reached a new milestone.

The 6-month-old recently began crawling, leaving fans amazed by the infant’s ostensibly rapid development. The “Crime Mob” rapper took to his Instagram feed on Sunday evening with a sweet video of his son crawling around in what looked to be the child’s room.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” actor can be heard in the background of the clip encouraging his son to crawl to him, saying, “Come on daddy, come here big man,” while his wife Bambi is the apparent person recording their son’s new milestone.

The Atlanta native, who waswheelchair-bound for months after experiencing a severe car accident last year, expressed how grateful he was to see his 6-month-old hit a new milepost.

“Man I woke up way more grateful than I did yesterday, I thank and praise God for my family, ” Scrappy wrote. “Look at my lil man and how God has blessed me to see him crawl I could of died but I’m here. … be grateful for what The Big God has next for you.”

Fans applauded the “I’m a King” rapper’s inspiring message, while others marveled over the infant’s development.

“You’re a great dad who is unashamed to show love to your kids and family I commend you brotha 🙏🏾.”

“Beautiful❤ you said the right words🙏🙏 God is everything @reallilscrappy proud to see you a happy daddy.”

“Seems like they just welcomed him in the world. Oh my how time flies💜.”

“He is crawling now wow. Just seem like he was born yesterday 🤗.”

“Good gracious he’s crawling and growing so fast!”

According to Joni Redlich, DPT of “Kid PT” pediatric center in Somerville, New Jersey, the average age for infants to began crawling is “between eight and 10 months.”

“Everything with babies, there is a huge range, so generally between eight and 10 months we want to see the kids mobile in some way, whether that’s the classic hands-and-knees crawl or some of variation, like army crawling on their bellies,” Redlich told Today in October 2018.

Lil Scrappy and his wife Bambi welcomed their baby Breland into the world last September on his mother Momma Dee’s birthday. Bambi delivered their son in just three pushes.

Nowadays, the “Money in the Bank” artist seemingly appreciates being on his father duties.

“This is why I love being a dad, my kids really give me that attention and love that a parent needs lol,” he wrote in an Instagram post in February, tagging his son and 14-year-old daughter Emani. “@princebreland @official_emanii love y’all.”

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.
