‘That Bodyyyy Looking Good’: Fans Salivate Over Masika Kalysha’s Steamy Thirst Trap Video

Unlike most people, Masika Kalysha is seemingly not snacking on junk food during her shelter-in-place life. The former reality star from “Love and Hip-Hop: Hollywood” flaunted her washboard abs in addition to her firm backside on Instagram Thursday, April 9. Her thirst trap posting caused some people to swoon over her fit physique, while others wanted the inside scoop on her stay-at-home exercise routine.

Kalysha, a mother of one, draped her body in a pink sports bra and a pair of gray sweatpants as her work-from-home ensemble. The “Growing Up Hip-Hop” cast member posted a video to the social media platform that showcased her modeling her assets for the camera.

The clip began with Kalysha sitting down and then standing up to give viewers a glimpse of her derriere. The 34-year-old star turned her body from side to side and showed fans a snippet of her six-pack. The video ended with Kalysha bending over forward, which led to her glutes filling the entire screen.

Kalysha’s video was extremely steamy, but the superstar only addressed her wardrobe in her caption. β€œI never knew I had this many pairs of sweatpants 😩,” she wrote. But people were not paying attention to her new sense of style and instead were praising her for her in-shape figure.

“Good lawd didn’t know you were stacked like that!!πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ‘€,” one user said.

“Sissss that bodyyyy looking good πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ™Œ,” a second fan gushed.

A third user commented, “😫 It be like that girl ! I’m loving this lockdown 😍😍😍😍.”

“You look bomb AF,” a fourth fan mentioned.

A fifth fan wrote, “@masikakalysha stop playing sis we need to see some of them ab workoutsπŸ™ŒπŸ½. I’m just tryna be like u when I stop eating πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.”

“Are you still all natural?????πŸ€”πŸ§πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ,” a sixth user asked.

Kalysha, the founder of a vegan cosmetics line, has not always received positive remarks pertaining to her body. She was body-shamed a few weeks ago for posting a video on Instagram that depicted her combing her hair in a two-piece ensemble. People on the internet called her hurtful names and suggested that she “throw her whole stomach away.”

Kalysha gave birth to her daughter, Khari Barbie Maxwell, in 2016. She shares her 4-year-old princess with rapper Fetty Wap. Kalysha revealed she loves her midsection because it was home to her baby girl during her pregnancy. “This stomach housed a future queen for 9 months and snapped back in 3 days, no surgery, and went straight to work. I love this stomach,” she told a fan on Instagram. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” 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.
