The rumor was allegedly started by one of Dillon’s exes.
Dillon Brooks, the Houston Rockets’ small forward and shooting guard, has become one of the most controversial players in the NBA due to his aggressive playing style and on-court antics.
Similarly, his personal life has been shrouded in questionable stories, including his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and baby momma, Heather Holley, and his current rumored girlfriend, Big Bambina.

He shares a daughter, Mila, born in 2018, with his former girlfriend, Heather Holley.
Their relationship ended in 2020 amid allegations of infidelity.
Heather also publicly accused him of being a “deadbeat dad.”
Heather claimed via Instagram that Brooks had failed to provide financial support for their child despite his NBA earnings.
She also alleged that his visits were infrequent and insincere, citing an instance where he allegedly served her paternity-related legal papers under false pretenses.
Additionally, Heather accused Brooks’ then-girlfriend, Rere Bollywood, of harassment, including creating fake accounts to target her online.

Big Bambina, whose real name is Danielle M. Frappier, is a Canadian model and social media personality.
Speculation about her being transgender emerged largely from public assumptions about her appearance and false reporting from unverified gossip outlets.
It is also speculated that the rumor was started by one of Dillon’s exes.
In March 2022, Bambina addressed these rumors, sharing a copy of her birth certificate to confirm she was born female.
However, questions arose about the certificate’s authenticity, as it had been reissued in 2005, fueling ongoing debates.
Despite the rumors, Bambina has firmly denied being transgender, and no credible evidence has contradicted her claims.

As for her alleged relationship with Brooks, neither has confirmed their romantic involvement publicly.
Brooks and Bambina have not been seen together in public, and both have refrained from commenting directly on their connection.
On the professional front, Brooks has built a reputation as a gritty defender and passionate player.
Born on January 22, 1996, in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Brooks developed his love for basketball early on.
He made a name for himself at the University of Oregon, where he was a consensus second-team All-American and helped lead the Ducks to the Final Four in 2017.
Drafted by the Houston Rockets and quickly traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, Brooks has become a key player in the NBA.
During his tenure with Memphis, he earned respect for his intensity and ability to guard elite players.
In 2023, he joined the Houston Rockets, where he continues to make an impact as a leader on and off the court.
While Dillon Brooks’ on-court achievements remain the focus of his career, his private life often draws as much attention as his basketball exploits.
