‘You Wasn’t Raised Right’: Alexis Skyy’s Recent Post Derails When Fans Spot This

It looks like Alexis Skyy is currently under fire.

The “Love and Hip Hop” star was called to the carpet this week for placing her “Burkin bag” on the ground, while sitting courtside in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a friend as the hometown Hornets took on the Chicago Bulls on Oct. 23. There’s an old superstition that claims it’s bad luck to set your bag or purse on the ground, saying it can bring years of bad luck to individuals’ finances. Apparently, fans believe the superstition is true and chided Skyy for not abiding by the rules.

In a photo to her Instagram page on Wednesday, Skyy showed off her snazzy fashions, including a dark blue Louis Vuitton bomber jacket retailing around $1,700, blue jeans and blue boots. She accessorized her look with an oversized purse and a pair of sunglasses.

Crowing over her and her friend’s beauty, she wrote in her caption, “Big up to all a di rude gyal dem inna di building” and received over 68,000 hearts on her picture.

Despite the mass of likes the 25-year-old model received on her post, it was the position of her purse that grabbed the attention of fans.

“The purse being on the floor is really bothering me. Get them bags off the floor!!! My grandma would have a fit.”

“I guess their Moms Never told them to not put their purse on the FLOOR!! 🤷🏽‍♀️”

“Your bag is on the floor it all makes sense now you wasn’t raised right. We need dem bomboclat monies 🤨”

Skyy apparently has no issue securing the bag nowadays with her KoKo Mi’ Kosmetics line, which was launched in 2017.

The mother of one’s cosmetics line was inspired by her upbringing with her mother and Jamaican native grandmother, according to a News Wire press release from December 2017. The products are to “keep you looking youthful, refreshed and beautiful; effortlessly each day with pure products.”

Skyy’s cosmetic collection features a wide variety of face and body care products, such as lip scrub, lip balm, facial cleansers, toners and much more. The price ranges run from $15 to $95.

She told News Wire that she plans on taking her company to the next level and would like to distribute her products internationally.

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.
