‘Come Through Luscious Locks’: Fans Gush Over Kenya Moore’s Natural Locks After She Shows Them A Throwback Pic Of Her Fake ID

It’s pretty much safe to say Kenya Moore was a rebel as a teenager. The “Real House of Atlanta” cast member appeared to be reminiscing on her fun adolescent years recently as she posted a throwback Thursday photo of herself that depicted her breaking the law.

The Detroit native revealed that she had a fake ID at age 15. She explained that she made up her middle name, Social Security number, and address for her identification document. Moore told fans that she had to redact the Social Security number and address in her picture for security reasons.

“Made up my middle name to the name I wanted to be born with and itโ€™s nearly the same as #solange knowles ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ #awholemess,” she wrote. The former beauty queen seemingly dressed like success for her fake ID photograph. She wore a pink shirt, dangling silver earrings, and red lipstick as her voluminous hair filled her entire picture. The mother of one may be different in age from the time she originally took her ID photo, but her thick black tresses remain the same, and fans could not stopping gushing over her natural locks.

“She been had long full hair. She told yโ€™all ๐Ÿ’‡๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ,” one user wrote.

“Everyone wishes they had all that natural hair. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚,” a second fan commented.

“Looooook at them tresses thooooough lol you been killin em sis!! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜,” a third user gushed.

A fourth fan said, “Your hair has always been beautiful ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’•.”

“HAIR STILL ON POINT๐Ÿ˜˜ ๐Ÿฆ‹,” a fifth virtually complimented.

“Yessss come through Luscious Locks ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ,” a sixth encouraged.

A seventh jokingly said, “Keep that same energy when Brooklyn pulls this stunt Queen ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿพโ€โš–๏ธ.”

Moore seemingly views her locks as her crowning glory. In the past, the reality star has fallen out with her “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast mates after they talked about her hair behind her back. On the Jan. 20 episode of the hit reality show, her co-star Tanya Sam accused Moore of wearing a wig.

The ladies had gone on a girls trip to Canada last September to celebrate the Toronto Caribbean Carnival. According to Sam, as Moore was boarding her flight to return to Atlanta she realized sheโ€™d left something in her hotel room. She sent a text message to Sam asking her to bring Mooreโ€™s bag with her when she returned home. Sam told her fellow cast members that she secretly opened Moore’s package and saw a long black wig.

Moore denied the accusations that she wears wigs and claims she always wears her natural locks. The 49-year-old model created her own hair care line, Kenya Moore Haircare, with the hopes of helping people grow longer, stronger, and thicker hair.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
