‘Don’t Ignore the Signs’: Alexis Skyy’s Video of Boyfriend ‘Gripping’ Her Neck Has Fans Concerned

It looks like social media isn’t fond of Alexis Skyy‘s new relationship with rap artist Trouble. Alexis Skyy’s Video of Boyfriend Putting Her in a ‘Chokehold’ Has Fans Concerned

Fans already expressed their skepticism about the Atlanta native a few weeks ago after Skyy, the ex-girlfriend of singer Fetty Wap, allegedly got into a brawl with a group of girls who asked to take a photo with Trouble at a pool party. They also claimed he was the one who instigated the alleged incident. Not to mention, the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” actress also caught a bad rap after she was seen performing sexual acts on a woman with a cucumber at the same pool party earlier this month.

To make matters worse, a video posted to the rapper’s Instagram story Thursday evening showed him grabbing Skyy’s neck with both hands while trying to give her a kiss. At one point, she seemingly tried to remove herself from his chokehold, but he wouldn’t let go. After pushing his hand away for a second time, he finally released her from his grip.

Social media users felt Trouble’s physical behavior toward the 25-year-old mother was extremely aggressive. Others urged her to pay attention to what they deemed signs of domestic abuse.

“He seems like he’s abusive. She look like she tryna get out his grip in the video somebody send her help 😩 please”

“Girl don’t ignore the red signs look how tight he’s gripping your neck! This is a domestic violence starter Pack.”

“He need to move his hand off her neck like that…..sounds like she said ouch…..red flag on the field for possessiveā—ļø”

“I’m actually concerned for her she was throwing up blood gang signs and stuff since she wit him smh. This is scary n not funny even when she moved his hand.. .hell he still wanted to choke her šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø.”

Skyy announced she was officially dating the underground rapper on August 3, and shortly afterward a woman who claimed to be Skyy’s friend said the model and Trouble, her ex-boyfriend, hooked up together behind her back.

The Atlanta native claimed he was never in a relationship with the girl and that they were only having sex. Skyy said she and the girl were never friends and only took a photo together.

As for the fight the mother of one was allegedly involved in over her boyfriend, she claimed to not have taken any part in the fracas.

“That was not me in that video,” Skyy said in an Instagram Live video on August 5. “Y’all will say anything. Talkin’ ’bout I got rolled down a hill. What is y’all talking about.”

It’s unclear how long Skyy and Trouble have been dating, but according to an old picture posted on his page, they were spotted together around July 16.

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.
