Fans Slam Alexis Skyy After She Hails Herself the ‘Jamaican Queen’: ‘She’s Forcing It’

Social media isn’t here for Alexis Skyy seemingly claiming herself as Caribbean royalty.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” star crowned herself as a “Jamaican Queen” despite folks blasting her for representing the culture. She took to Instagram on Monday and posted a photo of herself seemingly at Atlanta’s
Caribbean Carnival that took place on Memorial Day.

In the image, she sported a scanty blue maxi-dress with her hair in box braids and wrote in her caption “Jamaican Queen 👑 happy Memorial Day 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲.”

Skyy, who’s of Chinese and Jamaican descent, was blasted by fans who felt her “rep” for the Jamaican culture was insincere.

“How come all of a sudden she a rep Jamaica? 🤨😏.”

“You wanna be Jamaican so bad 😂😂 she forcing it.”

“Oh so now you Jamaica being half is not the same as being full.”

“Troubel deh deh Spice the real Jamaican not you.”

A few fans, however, jumped to Skyy’s defense.

“She is Jamaican idiots she’s always repped Jamaica hard since like 2014 🙄 ya’ll hating.”

“Even if she is half Jamaican she still is we stan a queen.”

Other folks gushed over the 24-year-old’s looks.

“Gosh I’m loving these braids @alexisskyy_ 😍😍🔥🔥 you look gorgeous.”

“Omg you are so beautiful keep doing u 💯p-town.”

Speaking of her appearance, the reality actress was slammed by fans last month for what they deemed as enhancing her physical appearance. She was spotted vacationing at the Jamaican Carnival in April wearing a skimpy samba costume. Skyy dismissed the accusations by saying she had just “gained weight.”

After giving birth to her and rapper Fetty Wap‘s now-1-year-old daughter Alaiya Grace in January 2018, the “LHHNY” star admitted that she has gotten her breasts done. In a now-deleted post from last year, she described the pain she experienced while trying to pump milk with breast implants, saying, “pumping hurts.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
