Erica Dixon

While we all know that Erica shot to fame after appearing on an immensely popular reality show on the small screen, her journey from a nobody to somebody is ‘the real untold story’. Erica was the youngest of 9 siblings. She grew up with eight other siblings raised by her uncle and aunt as her mother had a problem of substance abuse. This charismatic television personality did not have a very happy childhood after all. Erica was the youngest of the 9 siblings and they grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Erica did not experience a normal childhood until the age of 6, when was placed in foster care of a family in Hempstead.

Erica moved back with her mother at the age of 13, but unfortunately things hadn’t changed much. Her mother was still struggling with her drug abuse problem and Erica found herself relocating yet again, but this time with her father. Erica graduated from Forest Park High School and enrolled herself at Atlanta Professional Institute for higher studies. Erica took up the job of a medical biller and coder to support herself through her college day.

Erica met rapper Lil Scrappy (Darryl Richardson), at the Atlanta Professional Institute and the two dated for good 10 years. The relationship went through its ups and downs and they even decided to bring in a child in 2005. All was going well and Erica & Lil Scrappy even got engaged in 2012. Unfortunately, the engagement did not last long and the couple finally called off their relationship in 2012.

After Lil Scrappy, Erica dated O’ Shea Russel for about 2 years. Erica called it off with O’ Shea due to his financial problems. She then moved on to date NFL player, Duke Willams, who was reported to still be in a relationship with his long-time model girlfriend, Nazia.

Erica has a daughter, Emani, from her ex-fiancé, Lil Scrappy. Emani was born on 29th July 2005. Emani’s birth not only changed Erica as a person but also shifted her priorities in life. Erica became more focused on advancing her career to give the child the best possible life.
