Bhad Bhabie will soon have someone to play catch with outside — she’s expecting her first child.
The rapper, Bhabie, announced her pregnancy on December 1st through her Instagram account, sharing images of her baby bump. In the pictures, she can be seen wearing a white t-shirt with gray sweatpants, accessorized with sparkly stud earrings and a gold bracelet. Bhabie did not disclose further details about her pregnancy or the father of her child in the post's caption, and her Instagram profile currently only features two posts, one of which is a birthday tribute for her boyfriend, Le Vaughn.
"Bhabie shared a photo of herself and Le Vaughn at an NBA game on November 11, along with a birthday greeting 🩵." Known for her music career that began in 2017, Bhabie first gained fame from her 2016 appearance on Dr. Phil, where she famously said, "Cash me outside, how ’bout dat?"
After gaining fame on Dr. Phil, Bhabie starred in the 2019 Snapchat reality series Bringing Up Bhabie, which aired for one season. In the show, she described herself as the rebellious child her mother couldn't control and talked about her rapid rise from poverty to achieving a gold record in just six months.
In February 2020, Bhabie made headlines again when former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson obtained a temporary restraining order against her. According to court documents, Jackson, now 21, claimed to be fearful and unable to sleep after Bhabie threatened to kill her during an Instagram Live. Bhabie, on the other hand, accused Jackson of using a fake Instagram account to "like" negative posts about her.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Bhabie clapped back at the restraining order, stating, "You can try to hate me for responding to bulls–t with more bulls–t but that’s just who I am and I don’t apologize for none of it. I been in this fake ass hollywood world for 3 1/2 years now and I’ve done A LOT when the whole world said I couldn’t, but I refuse to become as fake as hollywood is."

Bhabie has used her celebrity status to aid others, collaborating with the Educapital Foundation to establish the "Bhad Scholarship" worth $1.7 million. This scholarship has enabled 1,000 students to pursue trade and technical school education nationwide, and has since been expanded to encompass other career paths such as human resources, coding, digital marketing, journalism, and nursing. According to Educapital Foundation founder Dr. Brenita Mitchell, the success of the Bhad Bhabie Scholarship has far surpassed their expectations and set new precedents for scholarship programs. In an exclusive statement to Us in August 2022, Dr. Mitchell expressed deep humility and immense pride in all the scholarship recipients.
