Fans Accuse Masika Kalysha of Throwing Shade at Her ‘Baby Daddy’ Fetty Wap In Halloween Post

Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Masika Kalysha shared a stern message on social media blasting absentee fathers and fans are curious to know if she was referring to her ex-lover rapper Fetty Wap.

Kalysha and the “Trap Queen” artist share their two-year-old daughter Khari Barbie together and were in a relationship for a brief period of time in 2016. However, the two parents have had disagreements in the public eye over the last few years, but they appeared to be on good terms after wishing each other happy birthday last year, so fans thought.

The 33-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday and called out deadbeat fathers who don’t make an attempt to be in their child’s life. She uploaded an image that read, “Some of you guys need to be a Father for Halloween you been a damn ghost all year.” She added, “👻 BOO!”

However, the post left fans fishing for answers. Instagram users wanted to know if Kalysha was spewing a general statement or simply throwing shade at Fetty Wap for seemingly being absent in their daughter’s life.

“Who she talking about Fetty?”

“You knew Fetty had multiple kids when you laid down unprotected with him, & now you mad he can’t just focus on khari, he has to make his rounds honey. You don’t have the only child.”

“Is this for Willie lol.”

“You slept with him tho.”

“Tell Fetty Wap to be a dad.”

“Does that apply to your baby father?”

Kalysha and Fetty were at odds when the former “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” star blasted the father of her child in 2017 for saying she was a one night stand. The two went back-and-forth in an all out Twitter war. However, the two came to an understanding and have been co-parenting their daughter since.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
