‘You Chose Him’: Masika Kalysha Fans Unleash on Her After She Suggests Fetty Wap Is a ‘Deadbeat’ Father

It looks like Masika Kalysha is still throwing shade at her ex-boyfriend Fetty Wap.

Although the pair broke up years ago, it was thought that they were co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter Kharie Barbie, until Kalysha recently suggested otherwise. On Monday night, April 20, the former “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star held a Q&A session on Instagram with her fans.

One in particular suggested that the father of her child is an absentee father. The person wrote, “My baby daddy is a deadbeat! I feel so bad for my daughter cause she loves her dad.”

Kalysha suggested she was in the same situation with Wap and wrote, “Had to do a double take sis thought I sent this to myself.”

Her remarks were instantly slammed by social media users.

“But she knew this from the start ! You chose to have a baby by home Masika”

“Now she wanna cry wolf when this men had 50 baby mamas before her 😒”

“She had no problems raw dogging catching nuts when she thought Fetty Wap was a 18 year check”

“It takes two to tango. DASSIT! JUST SHUT THE HELP UP 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️. One don’t got a eye the other don’t got a life 🤣🤷🏾‍♂️”

“🗣🗣🗣 Meerkat aka Masika always want Attention‼️‼️‼️ Get Gone ‼️‼️ We thought you just wanted the check. You expect him to visit the child too? Now come on sis 😂”

“Chile he had how many before her.. she saw if he took care of his kids or not bye.”

Kalysha later addressed the backlash on her Instagram story and wrote, “I did a whole Q&A venting session 4 anyone wanting to destress. Sis was stressed. I know her pain & decided to laugh w/her instead of crying which is what u want to do when u watch ur kid cry over their dad.”

In March 2016, the former video vixen welcomed her and Wap’s daughter. The rapper claimed at the time that Kalysha trapped him into having another child and denied being in a relationship with her.

The mother of one slapped down his claims and exposed him with now- deleted text messages that claimed he wanted to be with her. The two parents were seen co-parenting their daughter last year for her mermaid-themed birthday celebration, but it seems that is no longer the case.

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.
