‘Y’all Ain’t Bout to Tell Me This Baby Don’t Look Like Me’: Zonnique Pullins Responds to Fans Who Say Her Baby Looks More Like Heiress

Zonnique Pullins and boyfriend Bandhunta Izzy welcomed her first child in early December. Nearly four months later, a debate surrounding who baby Hunter Zoelle James looks like is going strong.

When the “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle” star initially shared photos of her baby girl, fans almost instantly pointed out the resemblance between baby Hunter and Zonnique’s younger siblings sister Heiress and brother Major Harris.

Zonnique has seemingly had enough of the talk and took to her Twitter account to address the topic. “Y’all ain’t bout to tell me this baby don’t look like me after I spent 9 months baking her ass to perfection 😅 ,” she jokingly wrote while sharing an up-close photo of herself holding her daughter.

Still, Zonnique’s response did not appear to change fans’ opinion on Hunter’s looks. One Twitter user commented, “Tiny genes are strong lmao thats baby heiress.”

Someone else wrote, “Lol. She is gorgeous! But definitely giving heiress and major. With a hint of her father.. she is so adorable. And you know we Stan for princess 👑 heiress!

“If you squint a lil you can see the resemblance but sis take this L because that baby looks like her Aunty Heiress 😂 😭,” a third wrote.

However, some fans believed Hunter looked like her mommy, even if just slightly.

“She looks like you, Heiress, Major, and Izzy lol and even a little bit like king it’s okay sis I see you in baby hunter trust !!!” another reader wrote. “You did not go 9 months for her to not come out looking like you that’s really your twin.”

Zonnique appears to be enjoying motherhood, including the body changes she experienced and has displayed for fans on her social media page. The singer recently celebrated her 25th birthday, and in honor of the big day she shared a photo of herself by the beach showing off her post-baby curves in a salmon-pink bikini with a matching cover-up. 

The reality star captioned the sexy post: “This what having a baby 3 months ago look like, twentyfine 👅  Happy Birthday to Me 03/20.”

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.
