‘I See Plastic’: Masika Kalysha Blasted for ‘Plasticated’ Photo of Her Exposed Rear End

Social media apparently has some questions regarding “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Masika Kalysha and her appearance.

It’s no secret the television personality takes pride in her Coke-bottle figure and doesn’t mind flaunting her curves on social media for the world to see. Over the weekend, she took to Instagram and posted a photo of herself by the pool with her nearly naked cheeks exposed.

She posed for a photo with her backside to the camera in a thong bikini and top, showing off her sun-kissed body, and captioned the image “He piss me off just so I can walk away.”

But her alluring post went left when folks began questioning if Kalysha’s derriere was surgically enhanced.

“Looking very plasticated,” one fan wrote. “These doctors gone get tired of y’all not giving them they credit 😂😂.”

“This faker than my MK purse,” another person commented. “All I see is plastic 😂 #noneofmybusiness tho..”

“Nothing but silicone and plastic. But whoever did that fat transfer did a good job 😭.”

Others jumped to the “GUHHATL” star’s defense.

“You look damn Good.They hating on you the hate is real love you 💯.”

“So what if she got work done she look amazing 🔥! People hate on u all the time.”

Kalysha has yet to confirm or deny if she surgically enhanced her bottom, but when a fan accused her of having a tummy tuck in 2016 she quickly put those rumors to rest, saying, “Ya’ll b–ches be so mad when a woman just naturally looks good.”

Clapping back at critics apparently has never been an issue with Kalysha, admitting to 96.7 The Beat during an interview that she hits back at them in the name of her supporters.

“As silly as it sounds, I feel like my supporters need it,” the 34-year-old mother of one said. “It’s entertaining. I’m very witty, and I feel like a lot of people are very stupid. So I feel like stupid questions or stupid things said deserve an equally stupid response.””

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.
