Even amidst your changed circumstances, what’s the deal with your fixation on your first baby daddy? Shouldn’t you be focusing on unraveling the mystery surrounding your second baby daddy, or reflecting on why you chose to have children with him despite his committed relationship with someone else? Erica Dixon recently unleashed her fury on Diamond after Scrappy attempted to pursue her behind Erica’s back. If you’ve been keeping tabs on Scrappy’s tumultuous romantic life, you’d know that he and Erica have appeared to be going strong lately. They’ve even integrated into each other’s families, and there have been rumors circulating about their supposed marriage during a trip to Vegas a few months ago. However, it seems Scrappy is back to his old habits of infidelity, as evidenced by his recent attempt to connect with Diamond, much to the dismay of baby Erica.
This drama unfolded after a heated exchange between Diamond and Scrappy on social media, during which Diamond retaliated by sharing evidence of Scrappy’s persistent attempts to rekindle their affair by sliding into her DMs. Personally, I prefer to avoid getting involved in such matters, which is why I felt compelled to address this with you. It came as a surprise when I became aware of it. I found myself questioning: What really went down? Why the deception? Why drag my name into it? Let’s keep it cool.
At this juncture, Erica might consider moving on from this relationship because it seems Scrappy’s loyalty isn’t guaranteed. As many are aware, Erica and Scrappy made their reunion public a few months back with a video Scrappy shared from a club, showing them getting cozy. Soon after, they were seen together at Usher’s concert in Las Vegas.
However, things took a turn when Scrappy’s close friend, Chaotic, spilled the beans that Scrappy and Erica had secretly tied the knot during their Vegas trip. Chaotic claimed, “Scrappy and Erica eloped, y’all. That’s why they ain’t take me to Vegas with them because Scrappy got a new best man.” Scrappy promptly dismissed the claim with a laugh, stating, “Bro, stop lying. What the hell you on? LOL.” Yet, Erica further fueled the marriage rumors during a live session, appearing to confirm their Vegas wedding by saying, “Who said we’re not married? Somebody said we never mind. Let me quiet. Slow. You can’t talk to slow people. We married. Shut off, Scraby.”
She also stated that the reason for their reconciliation was to prioritize co-parenting their daughter. However, this explanation was met with skepticism, as some accused them of attempting to spite Scrappy’s ex-wife, Bambi. “Let me make something clear: co-parenting is a lifelong commitment. Scrappy and I will always be family, regardless of circumstances. We have a child who is now in college. I can’t speak for others, but we’re dedicated to our child’s future. We’ll continue to be a part of each other’s lives, much like I still bring my parents together. Just as Iman will continue to bring her parents together, we’re in this for the long haul.”
A source speaking to Media Takeout corroborated that Scrappy and Erica never truly ended their romantic involvement but chose to make it public now that he’s no longer married to Bambi. The source added, “Scrappy and Erica had plans to reveal their rekindled relationship on the upcoming season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. However, since fans caught wind of it early, they’ve decided to stop hiding and simply let everyone know they’re together.”
According to the adage, how you acquire something is often how you’ll lose it, and it seems Scrappy is swiftly moving on from his relationship with Erica after being exposed for attempting to cheat on her with Diamond. This development isn’t particularly surprising, considering Scrappy had been involved with Diamond after parting ways with Bambi, only to leave Diamond for Erica. Initially, when Erica and Scrappy began showcasing their romance on social media, Diamond reacted with bitterness, sharing a revealing photo of Scrappy in her bed to clarify that their affair was ongoing. She also shared private messages between herself and Scrappy, detailing their plans to meet and his declarations of love for her.
Despite Diamond’s warnings, Erica dismissed them as jealousy, believing Diamond sought to sabotage their relationship. However, it turns out Diamond was attempting to alert Erica to Scrappy’s pattern of infidelity. In a recent interview with Carlos King, Diamond held nothing back, criticizing Erica and asserting that Erica was merely Scrappy’s second choice after she ended things with him. Diamond went further, alleging that Erica’s relationship with Scrappy was a publicity stunt because Erica was financially struggling, and Scrappy was only with her to generate a storyline for Love & Hip Hop and help her financially. Shockingly, Diamond also accused both Erica and Bambi of engaging in affairs with Scrappy in her own home while she and Scrappy were still together.
Right now, I’m not going to tolerate any more games. I don’t instigate anything, so I won’t allow Erica Dixon or anyone else to tarnish that. Do you think you’re responsible for Erica’s success on Love & Hip Hop? Well, they did approach me first, but I declined. Consider that. That’s why Bambi, you know, Scrappy wanted to bring her onto the show, to help her earn some coins. That’s fine. But don’t act like you’re making moves. Your store has been under renovation for ages. You’re not getting gigs. You were never the main squeeze, always second best. I got the ring first. Why are you so hung up on your first baby daddy? Shouldn’t you be focused on your second baby daddy or why you had kids with him while he was with another woman?
Are you, Scrappy, and Erica caught in a love triangle? Are you and Scrappy back together? Well, there was a time when we were just having fun, what I call “coloring,” both inside and outside the lines. So, yes, Scrappy’s been in my lane. Do you have a relationship with Bambi? All this home-wrecker talk and other stories she’s spreading, girl, when we were together and figuring things out, it seems you were in the mix.
Did Bambi really enter the house when you and Scrappy were roommates, becoming one of the women he was cheating on you with? Yeah, it was my place, and Erica dropped by too. Jel Diamond stirred up quite a mess with that interview. After all that spilled tea, some folks were shocked, but others, like Erica’s daughter Imani, Scrappy, and Erica herself, weren’t too pleased with the whole thing.
Imani commented on the interview, saying, “You were just texting me apologizing for disrespecting my mom.” Diamond fired back, clarifying, “My apology was about you being upset with me for confronting your mom. I get that you have to stand up for her. Love you always.” But Imani wasn’t having any of Diamond’s attempts to smooth things over, responding, “Alright, now I’m going to address you.”
It’s a bit unclear what Imani meant by her remark, but if I were Diamond, I’d be keeping an eye out because Imani, now 18, has no qualms about standing up for her mom. Shortly after this exchange, Erica caught wind of the interview and had her own thoughts to share. She approached Diamond with a gift bearing the simple message “H.O.E.” Diamond responded with “Number two Ben the diamond” and followed up with a lengthy comment, asserting her truth and reclaiming control over her own narrative. She expressed her need for acknowledgment after allowing others to benefit from her name for 11 years, signaling an end to any further charitable endeavors. She made it clear that she’s not interested in accommodating anyone standing in the way of her business in 2024. Scrappy decided to stir the pot by commenting on a blog post about the interview, insinuating that Diamond still harbored feelings for him. Diamond swiftly shut down this notion, stating she doesn’t want him and threatening to expose evidence to support her claim. True to her word, Diamond proceeded to share receipts, starting with a message from Scrappy wishing her a Merry Christmas and expressing love and anticipation to see her soon.
Then he went the extra mile, sending her an entire video. “Hey there, just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas with that beautiful face of yours. You get me, brona, brona? Say Merry Christmas. Say Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas. You know, just reflecting, man. It’s going to be okay. God’s got us. I woke up thinking of you and me. Bless you, baby. Love you. Be blessed.”
Now, here’s the twist: this guy’s already in a relationship, yet he’s taking precious time to craft videos wishing his ex a Merry Christmas. Looks like Scrappy was attempting to revisit old flames and maybe get Diamond back in his life for a bit of fun like in the past. But she wasn’t having any of it. Oh, Diamond wasn’t finished yet. She shared another chat exchange where she laid into Scrappy for sliding into her DMs despite being with Erica. “This is exactly why I left you a decade ago and never glanced back – because of the same nonsense you’re pulling now. You haven’t changed. Bye.”
His response? “You see how you’re talking to me?” To which she shot back, “You should’ve considered that before posting about the pool.” Yet, come New Year’s Eve, he hit her up again: “I know you probably don’t want to talk, but I was wondering if I could take Princeton with me and Bri to SmackDown for my birthday.” Her reply? “Fine, but don’t forget I’m done with you, and you better grasp why. Take Princeton and Bri, but just know I won’t tolerate any mistreatment of my child.”
It’s evident that Diamond wasn’t having any of Scrappy’s antics and stood firm in her business. Many criticized Erica for confronting Diamond instead of addressing Scrappy’s inappropriate behavior in the comments. While Diamond’s decision to expose the DMs and give that interview with Carlos King might have been messy, Scrappy’s consistent disloyalty to women speaks volumes. Rather than recognizing this pattern, Erica directs her anger towards Diamond.
Opinions flooded in, with one person highlighting Scrappy’s facade of growth despite his immature actions, and another expressing disdain for Scrappy’s manipulation of women. It’s clear that Scrappy’s behavior is unacceptable, and Diamond should cut ties and move on.
As one commenter aptly put it, “When you do stuff like that to me, you don’t exist anymore to me.” The hype around Scrappy reuniting with Erica seems misplaced, as his behavior reveals him to be unreliable and insincere. It begs the question: should Erica finally sever ties with Scrappy for good and focus on moving forward?
