While Lil Scrappy has yet to comment on the praise from Michelle Obama, his mother, Momma Dee, quickly embraced the recognition. She shared the clip on her Instagram account, expressing her gratitude in a heartfelt caption that read:

The official ‘Love & Hip Hop’ Instagram account joined in the celebration, commenting, “AND IN THAT ORDER,” highlighting Momma Dee’s importance in the reality TV landscape. Fans flooded her comment section with praises, acknowledging her as one of the most beloved mothers in reality television.

“Represent the palace queen,” commented @stillenigmatic, emphasizing her status. Another fan, @thebaddestbrinxx, urged VH1 to recognize her contributions, stating, “@vh1 @monascottyoung @mtv take notes! Momma Dee is and always has been a MAIN character and deserves to be treated as such! Pay the Queen what she’s owed because Michelle Obama said so!”

Meanwhile, @ghtown9837 expressed a desire to see Momma Dee explore more opportunities beyond Love & Hip Hop, suggesting platforms like Zeus or Now That’s TV. The overwhelming support from fans solidified Momma Dee’s position as a cultural icon in the reality TV space.

“The Palace is recognized by all!! #MommaDee,” wrote @shayla_mayweather, further showcasing her popularity. Additionally, @kerimelshawty praised her, stating, “We can all agree that Momma Dee has been the main character since Love and Hip Hop Atlanta started!!”

“Let em know who the FAIRIEST of em all is!!,” added @rock_androllerson, capturing the admiration many hold for her. The fan @stillclockingbaddies declared, “This makes you a TELEVISION ICON.”

Exploring the Latest Developments in the Palace

Although Momma Dee is thrilled about Michelle Obama mentioning Lil Scrappy, he has recently expressed frustration towards his mother. In a social media outburst in March, he addressed issues involving Dee and his ex-wife, Bambi, after they were discussed online. His remarks were sparked when Bam reacted to criticisms regarding her music career during an episode of the show, which escalated into a heated exchange. Momma Dee had some spicy words for her former daughter-in-law after Bam referred to Scrappy’s “11 baby mamas.” Ultimately, Scrappy intervened, urging everyone to refrain from discussing each other publicly.

In more recent news, Scrappy made headlines by introducing his new girlfriend, a realtor named Britney Sims, through a date night video that went viral! While their relationship timeline remains unclear, Scrappy has candidly shared that he is not interested in pursuing traditional marriage. Instead, he mentioned a preference for a more unconventional commitment style, similar to Yandy and Mendeecees, especially after Rasheeda and Kirk Frost commented on their relationship dynamics.
