Biography
Darryl Raynard Richardson III, known professionally as Lil Scrappy, is an American rapper born January 19, 1984, in the United States. He was discovered by producer Lil Jon while performing at a strip club in Atlanta, their shared hometown, and became one of the first signings to Lil Jon's BME Recordings. Trillville signed alongside him, both serving as early cornerstone acts for the label. Scrappy built his reputation through persistent mixtape releases, establishing an eager following throughout the Atlanta hip-hop scene and the broader Southeastern United States. As a Capricorn born in 1984, Scrappy embodies the sign's disciplined, goal-oriented nature—traits reflected in his sustained presence in a competitive regional rap ecosystem. Rappers typically balance studio recording, live performance, and brand partnership; Scrappy's trajectory mirrors this pattern across two decades. His personal life expanded significantly: he had his first child with Erica Dixon, married Bambi Benson in 2017, and together they had three children, including a son born September 21, 2018, and two daughters. By 2024, he had fathered five children total, the youngest with Pick A Side contestant Shakira Hardy.
