‘The Baby Is a Girl?’: Lil Scrappy’s Wife Bambi Leaves Fans with Questions with ‘Gender Reveal’ Post

It looks like Lil Scrappy’s wife Bambi unintentionally fooled fans into thinking she was revealing the gender of her baby.

Bambi and her husband announced a few weeks ago they were expecting their second child together, but they hadn’t revealed the baby’s gender. On Thursday, March 26, the mother-to-be inadvertently tricked her fans into thinking otherwise.

She took to Instagram and posted a photo of herself and a group of women painting a wall pink. Bambi also sported pink sneakers and a cropped jacket with a matching shade of pink.

Fans instantly assumed the “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star was having a baby girl.

“Awe… The baby is a girl???”

“Awesome girl at first I thought it was a gender reveal let us know you was having a girl 😂😂😘😘”

“The bam is having a girl. I would love to do this to my daughters wall! Super pretty!”

“Congratulations on the baby girl. This a great idea for your new born @adizthebam whatever color you choose of course.🔥”

“Omg I almost choked! lol I thought this was your gender reveal lol”

Bambi later clarified in her comments to fans that she didn’t know what the gender of her unborn child was, writing, “IDK yet.. this wall was pointed as a demonstration in a class.”

She also wrote in her caption, “This wall is sooooo 🔥🔥🔥 we’re doing a webinar April 11. We want everyone to be safe and have the opportunity to learn from home. THIS IS NOT A GLITTER WALL ✨✨✨😍”

Bambi and her husband Scrappy have a 1-year-old son Breland Richardson, whom they welcomed in September 2018. The rapper also has a 14-year-old daughter with “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Erica Dixon.

Scrappy announced the news of their unborn child on Instagram on March 1 and wrote, “Wifey be carrying my babies around drenched out,” he wrote. “Come on with the Baby drip den mama, too much drip for one bottle @adizthebam #mom #wife #hustla #CDAYVIBES #BABY3 #CINCO.”

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.
