‘I Will Never Respect These Deadbeats’: Masika Kalysha Slams Sky From ‘Black Ink Crew’ and Now Wants To Meet Up With Her Face to Face

Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Masika Kalysha wants to have a one-on-one conversation with Sky Days just days after she publicly slammed the tattoo artist on social media because she did not like the way Days bashed her son on the Feb. 26 episode of “Black Ink Crew.”

As a mother, Kalysha implied she was disgusted by the way Days talked to her 19-year-old son, Dessalines, which is why the model would like to have a conversation with her.

Fans speculated the conversation between Days and Kalysha would not go well because they believed Days’ temper would cause her to want to fight the former “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” cast member. Users took to Twitter to express their concerns.

One user said, “@masikakalysha skyy gone wanna kick yo ass.”

“Talking to her would probably be such a waste of time. Shes too hot headed, and will probably try to fight you if you say 1 thing she doesn’t like,” said a second user.

“Good luck with the talk Sika…but you a real one for wanting to try,” said a third fan.

The tattoo artist and her son got into a physical altercation on the Feb. 26 episode after the reality star accused her son of stealing money from her. During their blowup, the tattoo artist told her son she should have aborted him and that his father never loved him.

After watching the episode, Kalysha posted on Twitter “Omg… how… how!!! As a mother!!! Could u possibly say such filth to your own flesh and blood?!!!! Out here livin ya best life while ya kids r hurting and struggling. I will never respect these deadbeats! I just want to hug him so bad & tell him is him how much he is wanted.”

Despite how the former “Love and Hip: Hollywood” cast member feels toward the “Black Ink Crew” star, Kalysha told fans Days would not try to fight her. Instead, she said fans viewers usually are the messy ones.

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.
