Reality TV star Adiz “Bambi” Benson has shared her sincere thoughts on modern relationship dynamics, particularly “going 50/50.”
In a recent appearance on The Shade Room, the entrepreneur opened up about her thoughts on sharing responsibilities with a partner, especially regarding finances.
Bambi’s on-again, off-again relationship with her ex-husband, the rapper-turned-reality-TV star Lil Scrappy, has been documented extensively on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Especially after she admitted to dating him while he was still engaged to the mother of his first child, Erica Dixon.
Lil Scrappy and Bambi first met in 2013 on the second season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Bambi first appeared as a guest star and potential love interest for the rapper Benzino. However, things turned unexpectedly when Bambi returned as Lil Scrappy’s girlfriend in the third season. This happened shortly after Scrappy ended his nine-year relationship with his ex-fiancée, Erica Dixon.
After breaking up and calling off their engagement twice, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Las Vegas in September 2017.
Lil Scrappy and Bambi continued to share details about their lives on the popular reality show. By Season 10, they had welcomed their third child, Cali.
After six years together, the couple separated and divorced. Lil Scrappy celebrated his new single status with a massive party in Atlanta in September 2023.
Bambi’s stance on going fifty-fifty was likely influenced by her past experiences with her ex-husband, Lil Scrappy.
In the recent viral clip, Shade Room host Tone Kapone jumped right in, asking Bambi, “What are your thoughts on going fifty-fifty?”
“You know what, I did that before, and I wasn’t opposed to it at the time. But now, I just wouldn’t be comfortable going on fifty-fifty because I’ve got too much responsibility. I’ve got too many kids. I can’t go fifty-fifty. I can’t help you, bro. You have to come over here and help us out,” she explained.
Bambi’s response to The Shade Room has sparked discussions about financial expectations in relationships and the “50/50” concept, which refers to the idea that both partners should contribute equally to the relationship, including finances, chores, and childcare.
