‘Dusty Dutch’: ‘Black Ink Crew’ Instigator Sky Days Battles It Out With Ceaser’s Ex Dutchess on Social Media

*’Need Them Ratings’: Former ‘Black Ink Crew’ Star Dutchess Lattimore Hits Back at Sky After ‘Dusty’ Remark

It looks there’s still bad blood between “Black Ink Crew” actress Sky Days and her former cast mate Dutchess Lattimore.

On the latest episode of “Black Ink,” Ceaser Emanuel and his brand ambassador Miss Kitty got into a heated argument after Days accused Kit of sleeping with “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” star Ryan Henry.

Emanuel and Kitty have been dating off and on over the past few years, and the shop owner felt Kit was in the wrong for allegedly crossing the line with Henry, who’s an ally of his. Kitty told Days she never slept with the Chicago star and that it was all a rumor.

When Days talked to Emanuel about his drama with Kitty, he compared the brand ambassador to his ex-girlfriend Lattimore. Recapping their conversation off-air and on Instagram, Days took a jab at the “Pretty-n-Ink” owner, calling her “Dusty Dutchy.”

“@ceaserblackink needed Some Relationship Advice because Last Time He Showed His Feelings was wit ‘Dusty Dutchy’ 🤷🏻‍♀️,” Days wrote on Wednesday.

According to Urban Belle Magazine, Lattimore apparently caught wind of Days’ shade from a follower of hers and responded on her now-expired Instagram Story, “You can always tell when @blackinkcrew need them ratings… Baaaybeee they mention @dutchessofink every time!”

She also posted a screenshot between her and a fan that read, “People who speak my name and haven’t seen nor talked to me in 5 years or more have no relevance to my existence.” They are consumed with a stranger at this point which further defines their insanity!”

Although Days did not immediately respond to Lattimore’s remarks, “Black Ink Crew” fans have had mixed reactions.

“DUSTY DUTCHY 🗣🗣😭 I can’t stop watching it lmao this is hilarious please stop…. I’m trying to be an adult over here”

“Girl you are amazing and honestly a tough and crazy beetch.. But a good beetch. Love watching you ❤”

“Dang what did dutchess ever do??I never got the truth behind it. Can someome explain? Leave her out of it”

“Y’all stay with Dutchess name in your mouth. She left like 5 years ago let it go Sky”

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.
