Lil Scrappy recently sat down with Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee on the “We Playin’ Spades” podcast, sharing a rather unconventional childhood memory involving his mother, Momma Dee. The rapper recalled his 14th birthday party, where his mother hired strippers, a decision that left a lasting impression on him.
A Birthday Party with a Twist
Scrappy recounted the moment his mother brought strippers to his birthday celebration. When the parents of some of the other attendees returned to pick up their children, they were met with Momma Dee’s firm stance. “All the mamas came back like, ‘Hold on,’” Scrappy recalled. “My mama was like, ‘Yeah, this my house though … If you got a son in here that don’t need to be in here, please take him out.’” Momma Dee defended her actions, stating, “I stood my ground, ten toes down. ‘Please call them out, get them up out of here. We doing some things.’”
Despite the parental pushback, the party continued. Scrappy admitted that he wasn’t particularly interested in the entertainment at the time, feeling bewildered by the presence of strippers at his party. Looking back, he described the experience as “traumatizing.”
Momma Dee’s Parenting Philosophy
When Momma Dee jokingly asked if “p***y was traumatizing,” Scrappy, flustered, admitted that therapy has helped him reframe the experience. Courtney Bee chimed in, noting the contrast between Scrappy’s birthday gift and what most 14-year-olds receive, “Most 14-year-olds is getting bikes or something for their birthday. You giving this n***a b***hes.”
Momma Dee defended her parenting choice, explaining her intention: “Nothing against the LGBT community, but I just wanted him to chase p***y than tote a purse.” This statement reveals her unconventional approach to guiding her son’s understanding of relationships and masculinity during his formative teenage years.
