Bambi, aka Adi Benson, and Erica Dixon, got into a heated argument in Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta season 11 episode 9 that released on Tuesday, August 8. As their conversation began, Erica shared how her daughter Emani Richardson is 18 years old and Erica wants her to have a good relationship with her siblings.
To this, Bambi mentioned that she also wants their children to have a good relationship and there is no problem with that. Emani is Erica's daughter with her ex-husband Lil Scrappy. The latter, who married Bambi back in September 2017, is currently going through a divorce. The duo share three children together.
Erica Dixon then mentioned how her daughter Emani hasn't been at Bambi's house for a long time now, citing the latter as the reason. In response to this, Bambi mentioned that she has video footage of Emani visiting her house while Bambi was away.
In response, Erica shared that her daughter refused to go to Bambi's house when the latter was at home because Bambi had "mistreated" Emani. Bambi then pointed out how Emani told her that her mother Erica "abused" her. Afterwards, the conversation quickly devolved into a feud.
Several fans have shared their views on social media following this incident, disapproving of the way Erica confronted Bambi.

“After all these years of just being quiet, Erica trying to accuse me of mistreating her daughter was the final straw for me, I'm like you wanna accuse me of mistreating a child when Emani confided to me, you know she would be upset and telling that her mom was basically abusing her.”
