Momma Dee’s Response to Michelle’s Praise for Her and Scrappy
While Lil Scrappy has yet to publicly respond to Michelle Obama’s kind words, his mother, Momma Dee, swiftly embraced the recognition, sharing the clip on her Instagram with pride. In her caption, she expressed:
“For my son @reallilscrappy and me to be acknowledged by two remarkable women is beyond words! 💜👑 A heartfelt thank you to the former First Lady @michelleobama and the phenomenal @tarajiphenson! 💜 Sending much love from the Palace to you both! #TheQueen #MommaDee #InThatOrder #LHHATL”
The official ‘Love & Hip Hop’ Instagram account joined in the celebration, commenting, “AND IN THAT ORDER,” affirming Momma Dee’s iconic status. Fans also took to the comments to commend Dee for being one of the most celebrated reality TV mothers.
“Represent the palace queen,” @stillenigmatic remarked, showcasing support for Momma Dee’s influence.
@thebaddestbrinxx advocated for VH1 to properly compensate Momma Dee, stating, “@vh1 @monascottyoung @mtv need to take notes! Momma Dee has always been a MAIN character and deserves the recognition! Pay the Queen what she’s owed because Michelle Obama said so! 👏🏽.”
@ghtown9837 commented that “Momma Dee is a household favorite. I’d love to see her shine beyond ‘Love and Hip Hop,’ perhaps on Zeus or similar networks.”
“The Palace is acknowledged by all!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #MommaDee,” @shayla_mayweather highlighted.
@kerimelshawty echoed the sentiment: “It’s unanimous that Momma Dee has been the star since ‘Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta’ began!!”
“Let everyone know who the FAIRIEST of them all is!! 👏🏾,” @rock_androllerson chimed in.
@stillclockingbaddies proclaimed, “This solidifies you as a TELEVISION ICON 👸🏽”.
What’s Currently Happening in Momma Dee’s World?
While Momma Dee is thrilled with Michelle’s mention of Lil Scrappy, he hasn’t been in the best spirits regarding his mother recently. In a social media outburst in March, he expressed frustration over his mother and ex-wife, Bambi, speaking about each other online. This incident escalated after Bambi responded to a derogatory comment about her music career made by Spice during an episode. The tension was palpable, with Scrappy, Rasheeda, and Kirk Frost visibly struggling to contain their reactions in the background. After Bambi threw shade at her ex by emphasizing his “11 baby mamas,” Momma Dee retaliated with sharp words directed at her former daughter-in-law. Ultimately, Scrappy intervened, suggesting that they should all refrain from mentioning one another publicly or otherwise.
Recently, he gained attention by introducing his new girlfriend, a stunning realtor, through footage of their date night! The depth of their relationship remains uncertain, but if she’s considering marriage, Scrappy has indicated he is not keen on the traditional route. Instead, he mentioned wanting to follow a path similar to Yandy and Mendeecees after Rasheeda and Kirk Frost publicly critiqued their relationship.
