Lil Scrappy’s Wife Bambi Unleashes on a Fan Who Says This About Their Newborn Daughter

Lil Scrappy and Bambi are parents who’ve seemingly made the decision to shield their new baby from social media.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” couple welcomed their daughter Xylo nearly three weeks ago and have shared photos of their new bundle of joy — but none include her face.

Lil Scrappy hopped over to Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 18, and posted a sweet photo of himself and his three children. The family snap showed Scrappy’s son Breland, 1, lying on his chest, as the father of three held baby Xylo in his left arm. The rapper’s oldest daughter Emani Richardson, 15, sat by his side and seemingly kissed her little sister on the head. Baby Xylo’s face was covered by the teen’s cellphone.

Scrappy shared a sweet message alongside the post and penned, “This is where my energy goes and it also restores me , just to Knw God has blessed me with these 3 and I myself receive the blessings and will show God how much I appreciate his blessings and favor on me and my family.”

While Scrappy’s message was soul-stirring, upset fans turned their attention to baby Xylo’s face being hidden.

“She posted her whole pregnancy now she wanna hide the baby faces i be so confused. We wanna see our cousin lol,” one person commented on the post.

Another person agreed with the first IG user and added, “And when they had the 1st they showed him right away. .. but hey to each its own Right.”

Bambi jumped into her husband’s comment section and clap backed at detractors’ remarks. She slapped down the statement about showing baby Breland to the public when he was first born and responded, “Nah. We didn’t. But like you said … that’s none of your business. Imagine being worried about someone else’s baby. Weird.”

Scrappy and Bambi’s supporters also jumped to their defense.

“No they didn’t show him right away you’re too invested in these celebrities liives like do you have a life,” one fan noted. A second one added, “They not obligated to show their kids. Fall back.”

Scrappy and Bambi welcomed baby Xylo on Aug. 3, nearly two years after having their son Breland in September 2018. The Atlanta rapper’s daughter Emani is from a previous relationship.

Bambi and Scrappy seem excited about being new parents again. Following his wife’s recent delivery, Scrappy wrote via Instagram, “We are blessed and I’m thanking God he blessed us with a healthy baby.”

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.
