‘U Snapped Back Fast’: Erica Dixon Accidentally Dupes Fans with Latest IG Post

Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Erica Dixon had fans fooled this week.

The television personality posted an old video of herself showing off her then slim physique and leaving fans absolutely speechless.

She uploaded the clip onto her Instagram feed Thursday evening and it showed her parading in a striped swimsuit and black coverup through a hotel. The one-piece revealed her non-bulging belly and quite a bit of her rear-end.

“Hiiiiiiiiiii… bbbbyyyyeee #tb #snapbackready,” she Dixon added in her caption.

A slew of fans forgot to read the new mother of three’s caption, assuming the video was of her current post-birth body.

“Them legs and that booty 🔥❤️ okay that snap back is too real”

“Dang u snapped back fast af you just gave birth 😻 girl what twins.”

“Look at you beautiful! Looking like you never gave birth to those sweet angels! 👏🏿 #snapbackallday.”

Her friend Tiny Harris even commented and wrote, “Oh that’s how you doing us!! Ok!! 🙌🏾.”

Dixon clarified and replied back, “It’s a #tb boo. I wish.”

“Ya’ll slow and can’t read.. It says tb and she clearly said in the comments it’s a throwback 🤦🏾,” a fan stated.

Dixon gave birth to a set of identical twin baby girls last week.

She posted a photo of one of the infants grabbing her finger, mentioning that one of the infants were able to come home with her after spending a few days in the hospital. She confirmed in an Instagram post on Tuesday that the other child was still in the hospital, the reason why has yet to be revealed.

Her delivery was not only a celebratory moment, it also happened to be one of the “most difficult days” of her life.

“I have been blessed with two beautiful baby girls but to have to leave them just tore me apart she wrote on Monday. ” 🙏🏽 Praying they can come home sooner than later. I’m missing them so much already.”

Dixon has been quite discreet about who the father of her children are and his identity has yet to be revealed.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
