‘I Want Yams’: Alexis Skyy Puts Her ‘Healthy’ Clappas on Display and Drives Fans Insane

Alexis Skyy sent social media users in a tizzy this week after flashing her bodacious booty all over the ‘Gram.

The “Love and Hip Hop” actress posted a candid video of herself, displaying her curvaceous body in a scanty black bodysuit. Modeling against a white wall, Skyy struck several poses with her bare buttocks to the camera and slightly wiggled her derriere.

Skyy did away with a lengthy Instagram caption and let her video speak for itself. She drummed up more than 773,000 views on her post and over 4,000 reactions from fans.

“Yesss gawwwdd✨I want yams 🤤 I don’t normally lust but ‘Jesus’!! #bodyisArt she getting pregnant”

“🗣 Thicker den a mf shake at Burger King 🤪 I think I’m hungry now 🍑. Taking them pics was hard for the photographer huh”

“Dammm Let Me Get Some👅that booty is healthy asf, wish I can give her 2 ❤️❤️”

Despite the mass of compliments Skyy received, her hourglass figure came into question by fans who accused her of having plastic surgery.

In April, the 25-year-old television personality fell under fire in April for apparently enhancing her physical appearance. She was spotted vacationing at the Jamaican Carnival and decided to rock a skimpy samba costume that exposed quite a bit of her body.

More than a few fans blasted Skyy at the time on her seemingly curvier physique and accused her of having “work” done to her body. The “LHHNY” star rebutted critics and replied, “No I just gained weight … trying to loose it 😩.”

Skyy did admit to having her breasts surgically done after giving birth to her now 1-year-old daughter Alaiya Grace in January 2018, a special-needs child she shares with rapper Fetty Wap. In a now-deleted post, the mother of one described the pain she experienced while trying to pump milk with breast implants, by saying, “pumping hurts.”

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.
