‘U the Cucumber Girl’: Alexis Skyy’s ‘Business’ Woman Post Backfires After Fans Trash Her for ‘Dirty’ Video

It looks like social media users aren’t letting “Love and Hip Hop” star Alexis Skyy off the hook for partaking in Atlanta’s recent cucumber-themed pool party.

Skyy, her new boyfriend Trouble and rapper YFN Lucci threw a pool party August 4, centered around the recent cucumber challenge, where women performed sexually suggestive acts with the vegetable. Nevertheless, Skyy received the most backlash out of the trio after she was caught on camera penetrating a woman with a cucumber. Since then, she uploaded a post about seemingly being a woman of substance, but fans just weren’t having it.

Thursday evening, the 25-year-old reality star took to Instagram and posted images from a recent photoshoot of herself rocking conservative wear. She photographed donning black pants, a white button-up shirt, a blazer and a necktie.

Per her caption, the urban model seemingly boasted about being a woman who could rock sexy clothing and still handle business.

“A lady that can switch it up,” Skyy wrote. ” Throw on some sexy s–t when she wants .. but knows how to handle the business when she needs to !!”

Fans instantly flooded her comments with not so pleasant opines.

“A lady 😫😂 ?? You still look 👀 thirsty and we still know your a slut”

“U ain’t a lady or business woman u the cucumber girl 🥒🤣”

“So u a lady, because u dress up in a suit ??🤦‍♀️ girl you a whole dirty hoe for doing that nasty s–t to that female. Now you known as the cucumber girl”

A day after Skyy went viral for what some folks called a “degrading” video, she addressed the incident on an Instagram Live video, blaming it on the alcohol in her system.

“Y’all talking about this damn cucumber,” she said. “Y’all, the girl was a porn star. Like, y’all f–king relax… She’s the one who told me to put it in there. I was like, ‘Fine.’ When the alcohol’s in your system, you’re just having a good time.”

Her boyfriend Trouble, an Atlanta native and rapper, defended the “LHH” star writing in a now-deleted post from Tuesday, “Yall deep deep in ya feelings Bout what these grown women doin with cucumbers I see… Yall hoes an ho azz niggaz who hatin would FAINT if you seen the footage of what yo mama was doin freak nik days and memorial weekend in miami in 98 99.”

Some fans agreed with him and denounced Skyy’s critics.

“Let that cucumber s–t go already! y’all hate her so much but still on her page 🤦‍♀️”

“Y’all legit hate her for no reason she grown af and can do what she wants”

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.
