‘I Feel So Complete’: Bambi and Scrappy Welcome Their Third Child Together

Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels aren’t the only “Love and Hip Hop” stars welcoming a new bundle of joy this summer!

ATL rapper Lil Scrappy and his wife of nearly four years, Bambi Benson, now have their third child together. In a July 25 Instagram post, Lil Scrappy, born Darryl Kevin Richardson, posted three photos capturing his wife and newborn child in two of them, and his baby’s head in the last one.

The beginning of his caption reads, “God is absolutely the greatest I tell you . I’ve never been perfect but God blesses me as if I am tho, it feels so amazing and I feel so complete when he blessed me with all my babies , now we’ve made it to my 4th child and gifted me with one more life to protect and guide in his way.”

In the next part of his caption, Lil Scrappy shouted out and thanked his wife as well as revealed the name and gender of his little one. “I want to thank my wife @adizthebam for having ,” he said. “It wasn’t easy and u pushed thru literally, it only took 30 seconds this time , my young princess #CaliRichardson I’m def getting my grustle on now jack all my babies gone get what they need and want out this here life . I love you my future Andy bloodline. #anotherone. #145am.”

Lil Scrappy continued expressing his excitement for his third daughter in another post on July 26. He shared a photo of himself holding her while practicing safety by wearing mask to protect himself amid the coronavirus pandemic. ​​He wrote, “Man I am truly blessed and grateful . One day at a time , how do babies spell love ? Time so that’s what I do with all my kiddos spend time and def money , but the heart spends every bit of love and patients for the babies even my oldest , this never gets old it’s a refreshing blessing . Have a great day #BABY4 and excuse my roughness cus ion care lol.”

Bambi has yet to make an official post about her daughter’s arrival, but she has made several reposts on her story from friends saying congratulations on Scrappy’s post. She also posted a Boomerang on her Story of her breastfeeding her daughter with the words “Milk Making Mama” flashing on the video.

Little Cali makes it a family of five for Bambi and Scrappy. The couple’s other two children are son Breland, who turns 3 on Sept. 18, and daughter Xylo, who will be a year old on Aug. 3. Besides the three children he has with Bambi, Lil Scrappy also has a 16-year-old daughter named Emani Richardson. Scrappy welcomed Emani with his ex-fiancée and “Love and Hip Hop” co-star Erica Dixon.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
