Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta stars — Lil Scrappy, and his former fiancée, Erica Dixon — both took to Instagram to wish their daughter a happy 15th birthday. Indeed, their only child together, Emani Richardson, is all grown up.
Erica posted a few photos where Emani is wearing a camouflage bikini, gorgeous new hairstyle, and makeup as she celebrated her big day at what seems to be a party at a pool or near a lake surrounded by large trees.
The teen seemed delighted in all the photos where she is flashing a huge smile. Erica, who recently became a mother of three, penned a loving message for a teen daughter that read: “Happy birthday to my first love!!!! I can’t believe you’re 15!!!! You’re so awesome and fantabolous at everything you do. You will forever be my baby. Love you.”
Lil Scrappy shared several photos of his daughter and wrote a book to tell her how much he loves her.
The rapper, who is now married to Bambi Benson, got emotional in his message: “Happy Queen Day to my First Born, and the one who taught me how to be a father, never thought I could love as I love you. I didn’t even like kids until I had you, I’m grateful of the way you’ve bossed up on school basketball and life in general, talented, beautiful and educated young Queen that you are, I am honored that God blessed me with you as a daughter. I’m proud of the young lady that you’re becoming and growing into. You’re my butterfly ? becoming more gorgeous every min and every hr, I’m your dad, and I got yo back jack. I pray that your life has longevity, happiness and success, I will love you even after this life is over and forever, tearing up right now cause I can’t believe we came this far and your 15, now I’m super Bodyguard lol. Happy Gday mama Daddy loves you, and God loves you even more. Everybody help me wish my princess @official_emanii a very lit Gday.”
Emani’s grandmother, Momma Dee, also posted a few sweet words that said: “Happy birthday to my firstborn granddaughter, happy birthday, Princess Emani Much love from your granny.”
While many fans simply wished the teen a happy birthday, a few claimed that her bathing suit and makeup were not age-appropriate because she looks like she is 21.
A follower made this comment: “Omg, she looks 21.” Another shared the same remark: “I thought she was at least 18.”
This fan of Erica’s decided to defend Emani: “Ikr… She’s a beautiful young lady, and I think I thought she was older based on the first pic… But I think it was an innocent pic taken, on the way to be the beach or a pool…”
This backer stated: “Even if she does to you because she really doesn’t, was this the place to comment it? All of you need to stay off other’s page being negative. If you follow Imani, you’ll see she looks 15, and shit make up makes all of us look older.”
The teenager is starting a new chapter.
