Flaunting Gone Wrong: Alexis Skyy Clowned for Flossing Birkin Bag

“Love and Hip Hop: New York” star Alexis Skyy is getting roasted for her ostentatious behavior.

The 24-year-old reality actress took to Instagram this week to show off her designer goods, which apparently backfired on her. She uploaded a photo of herself sitting at an outside restaurant table with her red Birkin bag on a table beside her. She dazedly posed for a snapshot, looking away from the camera and wrote in her caption “Big BIRKIN BAG …”

A few fans fawned over her post.

“Everybody know u bad af lexy and you and your bag sittin pretty 😍❤️.”

“Natural beauty😍💓 and my good sis always come through fly af.”

Others clowned her and her designer bag.

“Where store did u rent that bag from. …. Did Medicaid pay for it 🤔?”

“You’ll be returning it tomorrow 😂.”

“🤦🏾‍♂️ those old man pay well because we know u ain’t got it!”

Skyy is no stranger to criticism. She received quite a bit of backlash in April for what some deemed as her enhancing her physical appearance, specifically the bottom half of her body. She was spotted at the Jamaican Carnival where she was seen wearing a skimpy samba costume.

More than a few fans called her out on her seemingly curvier physique, accusing her of getting plastic surgery.

One fan even wrote, “She’s a beautiful woman. Shes ruining herself with the surgeries.”

Another commented, “You definitely got more work done.”

The “LHHNY” addressed the cosmetic surgery assumptions then and claimed she had only gained weight, writing, “No I just gained weight … trying to loose it 😩.”

After giving birth to her and rapper Fetty Wap’s now-1-year-old special-needs daughter Alaiya Grace in January 2018, Skyy admitted to having gotten her breasts done. In a now-deleted post at the time, she described the pain she’d been experiencing while trying to pump milk with breast implants, saying, “pumping hurts.”

She however has yet to admit to having any work done on her buttocks and hips.

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.
