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.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
