‘When Yo Man Ain’t Shxt’: ‘LHHATL’ Fans Crack Up at Sierra Gates Hysterically Crying Over Pregnancy Test Prank

It’s safe to say “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” reality star Sierra Gates won’t be trying to get pregnant anytime soon.

In the April 20 episode, “LHHATL” cast members played a pregnancy prank on Gates, which resulted in her breaking out in tears.

During a ski trip to Tennessee by “LHHATL” castmates, Lil Scrappy‘s wife Bambi realized that she may be pregnant again. Her fellow cast members, including Gates, were also experiencing different mood swings and emotions, so all of the ladies decided to take pregnancy tests. Gates admitted she was celibate for a while, but she had a slip-up.

The cast members decided not to put names on their pregnancy tests, but marked them in other ways. Bambi pranked Gates by switching her positive pregnancy tests with Gates’ negative one without the hairstylist knowing. When the test showed up positive, the mother of two started hysterically crying and admitted to the crew that her relationship with her boyfriend BK was rocky. She said it would have been different if they were married, but she wasn’t too confident in their relationship.

Moments after the ladies consoled Gates, Bambi revealed the whole thing was a prank. Gates eventually dried her tears and gave Bambi a hug.

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.
