‘Get Ya Gun!’: Lil Scrappy and His Wife Bambi Confirm They’re Having a Baby Girl

It looks like Lil Scrappy and his wife Bambi are expecting a baby girl.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” couple held their gender reveal party over the weekend apparently with Bambi’s best friend, Malaysia Pargo. An excited Pargo announced the exciting news via Instagram on Sunday, April 12.

The “Basketball Wives” star posted a three-second Boomerang video through Instagram of Lil Scrappy, his 15-year-old daughter Emani Richardson, Bambi and their 1-year-old son Breland. All were dressed in purple-and-gold attire in honor of late Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. The rapper’s family unloaded their gender reveal poppers and shot out pink confetti.

Pargo was the first person to reveal Scrappy and Bambi’s unborn baby’s gender.

“It’s a Girl 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 congratulations,” the mother of three wrote.

Scrappy later confirmed the news and conveyed how excited he was to have another daughter.

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.
