Lil Scrappy and hairstylist Shakira Hardy welcomed their first child together.
On Saturday, November 30, Hardy revealed the news in a touching Instagram post full of photos with her newborn son. In the caption, she confirmed the baby boy was born last week on November 23 at 7:39 a.m. She also revealed that Scrappy and her daughter were there to support her in the hospital and said it took her six minutes to deliver the infant. He weighed 7 lbs. 2.5 oz. upon arrival and he appears to be healthy. She said she's been "distracted" by her newborn ever since.
The new baby boy is Lil Scrappy's fifth child. He shares his 19-year-old daughter, Emani Richardson, with his former partner Erica Dixon. He also has three other children from his previous relationship with ex-wife Adiz “Bambi” Benson. They share a six-year-old son, Breland, plus two daughters Xylo, 4, & Cali, 3. Scrappy and Hardy celebrated their new child last month during a baby shower with family and close friends.
"Shout to my baby daddy for being here" she said during the gender reveal. "You came all the way from Atlanta. You had a lot of things to do and could've been at a lot of different place and you chose to be here with me. I appreciate that."
Congratulations to Lil Scrappy and Shakira Hardy!
