Zonnique Pullins and Bandhunta Izzy are celebrating a big milestone for their little one.
The couple is marking their daughter Hunter Zoelle James’ 5th birthday today, after celebrating over the weekend with family and friends. Zonnique shared moments from the celebration on social media, including a sweet photo of herself smiling alongside the birthday girl, who proudly wore a festive crown for the occasion.
Proud grandmother Tameka “Tiny” Harris also posted on Instagram in honor of her granddaughter, writing, “Happy 5th birthday to my beautiful, smart Lil Gbaby #HunterZoelle the first to make me a Honey!! We love u so much & we celebrate your life today & everyday!!”
Hunter Zoelle James was born on December 15, 2020. She is the first grandchild of Tiny and rapper T.I., who have since welcomed three more grandchildren into the family.
Zonnique has previously shared that her mom played a role in choosing Hunter’s name. During an Instagram Live session, she explained that the decision evolved right up until weeks before giving birth.
“I was going to do Zoelle Hunter James; then my mom was trying to act like it sounded better being like Hunter Zoelle James. Anyway, her name was going to be Hunter for the longest,” she said during her video. “I put it in Izzy’s hands because people was driving me crazy. I’m like ‘Izzy, it’s whatever you want.’ Zoelle was what he wanted, so I’m telling my mom like ‘Cool it with the Hunter’…’Stop trying to throw Hunter down everybody’s throat. It’s Zoelle, and we can just make Hunter her middle name.’
She conitnued, “Probably two weeks before I was going to the hospital to have her, Izzy said he wanted her name to be Hunter. So Hunter Zoelle James it is, but y’all can call her Zoelle if y’all want. If ya’ll just so in love with the name I made up I don’t mind that. I don’t mind that at all…She has nothing that says Hunter on it.”
