‘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.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
