‘Never Been a Side Anything’: Bambi Denies Creeping with Lil Scrappy During His and Erica Dixon’s Relationship

It looks like Lil Scrappy’s wife Bambi is hitting back at critics who accused her of once being a side-chick.

On the latest episode of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” Bambi got into a huge verbal altercation with newcomer to the show LightSkinKeisha and her boyfriend Coa Vango. She accused Keisha of trying to push up on Vango while he was still in a relationship with her friend. Vango and Bambi’s friend eventually parted and that’s when Vango made it official with Keisha.

Bambi, however, felt the rap diva’s actions violated “girl code.” She had no interest in being cool with Keisha. Social media users accused Bambi of being hypocritical. Her husband’s ex-fiancée, Erica Dixon, claimed Bambi was messing around with Lil Scrappy while they were engaged.

Bambi recently addressed the claims on an Instagram live video and hit back at critics for coming for her. When an IG follower asked the expecting mother if Dixon’s past claims were true, she responded, “B–ch no! First of all, at the end of the day, if that was my position it would still be my position. I’ve never been a side anything. So if you can roll back some footage of me f–king with Scrapp when he was in a relationship, please find it for me. I want facts.”

She said her issue with Keisha is that she violated girl code.

“My issue is with my friend and somebody pretending to be her friend but having sex with her man at the same time,” said Bambi. “I was single, I was with a single person at the same time, so that don’t even got nothing to do with it. One don’t even have nothing to do with the other.”

Despite Bambi defending her actions, fans still poured in their mixed opinions.

“She seem more mad then the friend that got ‘snaked’ We still haven’t forgot how you were in the hot tub with KIRK aka ‘RASHEEDAS HUSBAND’ a while back 🌝🌝”

“Side chicks can end up a wife… y’all forgot about Amina and Peter?! Deep down he really wanted to be with Tara. Same for Scrappy and Bambi, he wanted to marry Erica but Erica did not want him. Thats how you were able to slide in that role after you were messing with him behind Erica’s back. The whole Atlanta know, stop capping Bambi, you did basically the same thing you accusing LightSkinKeisha of. 🙄”

“Bambi lied,she was wit Scrap when he was in a relationship!🙄😑you was a sidechick until he made you important!!!! The lies ppl tell,Bambi you was a storyline for Scrap as one of his many women…Bye chile”

“Wait didn’t Bambi come between Erica and Scrappy??? I CANNOT!!🤨🤨🤨🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ Bambi it really doesn’t matter the man moves on he’s no longer with your friend leave it alone damn🤦🏿‍♀️”

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.
