The mother of the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star’s fifth child is hairstylist Shakira Hardy and the pair recently celebrated their impending arrival with a baby shower.
Dressed in blue ensembles, Scrappy and Hardy seemed happier than ever as they confirmed their child’s gender as a boy.
“You came all the way from Atlanta..I appreciate that, ” said Hardy via her Instagram stories.
The “No Problem” rapper met Hardy during a taping of his speed dating show Pick A Side. According to BCK Online, the two connected off-camera at a gathering with another contestant, Nyaa Ray, who claimed that the trio had a night to remember. Ray took to TikTok to detail the events that led to Hardy’s pregnancy by Scrappy saying,
“Put another finger down if now he’s [gaslighting] you into thinking that it’s your fault and you’re the cause of this, and you need to now handle the situation and talk your friend out of having a baby that he does not want.”
She went on to claim that protection was used by all during their night of activities; however, she left Scrappy and Hardy alone to take care of mommy duties stating that she “trusted him.” Things must have taken a turn in her absence as a month later her former friend announced that she was pregnant by the Atlanta rapper.
Nonetheless, Scrappy seems to be on board with him and Hardy’s baby boy. He also posted his own set of Instagram stories from the baby shower, including a sign displaying his last name, “Richardson.”
No word on how his first baby mama and alleged on-again flame, Erica Dixon, feels about all of this, as rumors have circulated about a potential reunion between the two.
LHHATL fans were chomping at the bit after Erica and Scrappy posted themselves hanging out and looking cozy on several different occasions. Scrappy later revealed that he’s always “been in love” with Erica during a podcast episode with Carlos King.
“I’ve been in love with her for our whole relationship. Even when we weren’t in a relationship, she know that,” he said.
Erica was visibly shocked by his admission but there’s been no confirmation on either end of whether or not they’re really spinning the block. It’s clear that whatever the situation may be, Scrappy hasn’t stopped living like a single man and making babies to boot.
