‘Back to the Basics’: Alexis Skyy Fans Blast Her for Reverting Back to Long Hair After Split With Trouble

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop” star Alexis Skyy got called on the carpet for her new long-hair-don’t-care attitude.

The television personality decided to do away with her waist-length weaves and extensions after her now ex-boyfriend Trouble apparently suggested she should cut her hair short. However, since they’re no longer together, it seems she said bye-bye to the pixie cut life and welcomed back her long hair.

Skyy took to her Instagram page on Monday evening and posted a video debuting her brown tresses with blond streaks in the front.

“You ready?” she asked the cameraman, before twirling around her “inches” in a gray curve-hugging bodysuit. She captioned her post with two black heart emojis and racked up more than 400,00 views on her post. Although fans gawked over Skyy’s look, they couldn’t help but mention the sudden change to her hair.

“After being single two days back to the basics lol long hair lol 😂 yeah she single single”

“My girl put them inches back in real quick 🤣”

“I see inches lmao. After break ups you ALWAYS get the inches back! It’s the beginning of the healing process 😩😂”

“Sis switched that hair so fast 😭🤣Trouble Who? She said f–k that she single again”

Skyy and Trouble apparently broke up on Sept. 23 after they were spotted going back and forth online in the comments section underneath one of her pictures.

The 25-year-old mother claimed the “She a Winner” rapper didn’t contact her for “two days” when he went to Las Vegas over the weekend. Trouble, on the other hand, said he wasn’t aware they’d broken up and claimed Skyy wasn’t answering any of his texts and phone calls.

However, new reports surfaced that Trouble allegedly cheated on Skyy with a different woman while in Vegas, which apparently explained why he wasn’t answering the phone according to a Shade Room source. A video also surfaced of a man who fans claimed looks like Trouble kissing a woman in a club prior to his breakup with Skyy.

He has yet to address the video, but he did post on Tuesday that “Love and Hip Hop” producers offered him $2,000 to appear on the show with Skyy, which he apparently turned down.

Skyy deleted all traces of Trouble from her social media and hasn’t said a word about her recent ex-boyfriend allegedly cheating on her.

Still independent.

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.
