‘Who Told You to Snap Like That?’: Zonnique Shows Fans ‘What Having a Baby 3 Months Ago’ Looks Like

Zonnique Pullins is enjoying all of the new joys of motherhood including the extra curves it brought, which she proudly displayed in an Instagram post in celebration of her 25th birthday.

The singer and reality star celebrated her big birthday on March 20 and marked the occasion by flaunting her post-baby curves on Instagram. In the photos, Pullins poses seaside wearing an itty, bitty salmon pink bikini with a matching cover-up while feeling “twentyfine.”

Appearing to fully embrace her current figure, the “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” star captioned her post, “this what having a baby 3 months ago look like, twentyfineπŸ‘… Happy Birthday to Me 03/20.”

Zonnique’s mom, Xscape singer Tiny Harris, approved of her daughter’s images, and cheered her on in the comments, writing “Yes finally!! 😍😍😍πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.” Tiny’s friend and fellow Xscape member Kandi, singer Monica, and rapper Mulatto also stopped by the comments to wish Zonnique a happy birthday and let her know how good motherhood looks on her.

Pullins has been turning up with her girls, including long-time bestie and fellow hip-hop kid Reginae Carter, during a getaway to Mexico for the milestone birthday. The ladies made the most of their vacation by doing everything from relaxing by the water to eating good food while looking good to exploring (and twerking in) underground caves.

The more than 339,500 likes on the image seem to signal that fans are feeling the body she served just as much as her.

“Now sis who told you to snap like that”

“Hunter wasn’t about to make her mama look bad after birth😍😍”

“😍😍😍 nique next time we going to need some sort of warning before you post😫 too fine”

“It’s the bawdy for meeeee!!!! Happy birthday beautiful! 😍”

“The body is Bodying b*tches. 🀌🏾😌”


Pullins gave birth to her and rapper Bandhunta Izzy’s daughter Hunter Zoelle James in December 2020.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
