‘Gym or Surgery’: Masika Kalysha Fans Call Her Body ‘Fake’ After She Shows Off Her Curves

It looks like fans have a few questions regarding Masika Kalysha‘s appearance.

The “Growing Up Hip Hop” star flexed her slim figure all over social media this week and slightly bragged about her supposed results from working out. She took to Instagram on Sunday and posted a photo of herself wearing a cropped top and low-riding pants.

The getup showed off Kalysha’s toned midsection and curves. In a separate image, she lifted up her shirt to show more of her assets and wrote in her caption, “Been back in the gym bout 2 weeks and I’m already takin pics like this 🙄😂.”

A few fans, however, slapped down Kalysha’s fitness remarks and accused her of having surgery.

“Thats right work out that surgery and liposuction gone head girl,” one fan wrote.

Another wrote, “Gym or surgery??”

Kalysha responded to critics and wrote, “😂 I’ve had 5 boob jobs and a hernia repair. I have hella lose skin and cellulite. I busted my ass in the gym since I was 14 u fucking clown. … Y’all gotta stop being so insecure and jealous. Love yourselves and maybe you’ll work as hard as I do to look how you want to look.”

Fans chimed in and showered Kalysha with support.

“Damn chicks really be mad smh but be following you though , s–t real weird , social media ah mufuka”

“Girl u live in the gym. U have been fit your whole life lol they swear you had surgery. Hella hating”

In 2017, Kalysha revealed to fans that she’d had a breast reduction nearly a year and half after she’d given birth to her daughter Kharie Barbie.

“Breast reduction no liposuction… no shade it just rhymed lol oh and 15 lbs down. Thanks for cuttin my tits off @officialgoldmedsurgerycenter,” she wrote in a now deleted Instagram post.

When a fan accused her at the time of getting a tummy tuck, Kalysha once again denied the surgery specuation.

“I had a 6 pack my whole pregnancy,” she added. “Y’all hate so bad. Tummy tuck 🤣🤣🤣”

It looks like Kalysha stands by her words that her body is natural.

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.
