‘Ima Cry’: ‘Black Ink Crew’ Sky Days Seemingly on Good Terms with Eldest Son

It’s no secret that “Black Ink Crew” star Sky Days and her two sons Genesis and Dessalines have a knotty relationship with each other.

It was lastly reported that Days’ eldest son Genesis, 20, decided to keep his distance from her and “love her” from afar after claiming he hadn’t heard from his mother since departing the show. However, it seems the pair may have made up since then and could be back on good terms.

Days celebrated her 34 birthday in normal diva style and posted a stunning photo of herself in a dazzling black ballgown to her Instagram page on Thursday, Sept. 19. She wrote in her caption, “♍️Another Year of LOVE, Light , Amazing Sex, Good Health & Bossin’ Up 🤞🏽❤️ I LoveYou
#BirthdayBihhh.”

Although, the “Black Ink” HR director received an overwhelming amount of birthday wishes, her eldest son wishing her a happy birthday surprised fans the most.

“HAPPY B DAY 😈,” Genesis commented. ” LUH’ U 2 INFINITY AND BEYOND…💯🖤 .”

In August, Genesis and Des both went on IG live to announce they were done with “Black Ink.” They both also claimed that they no longer heard from Days, who gave them up for adoption as a teen, after refusing to film the show.

“I ain’t finna do none of that s–t,” Genesis said of the “Black Ink” series. “Even though you my mom, you ain’t done nothing to be my mom like that. But s–t, I love you. … With me I made myself love from a distance.”

The youngest son chimed in and added, “She don’t answer no more after she got her s–t. And when she gone, she gone.”

On the current season of “Black Ink,” Days’ and Des are currently on bad terms after she accused him of stealing from her and doing drugs. He later went on IG Live to address the episode and blasted his mother for seemingly attacking her character, claiming she was the one who introduced him to marijuana.

Days has yet to address his allegations or further speak on the current status of her relationship with her children.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
