‘Momma Mia’: Ayesha Curry’s Snapback Photo Causes a Divide Among Fans

Ayesha Curry dropped a few photos on Instagram that showed her modeling in a gray two-piece bikini over the weekend. On Sunday, May 24, the 31-year-old celebrity chef released the photos in honor of her drastic weight loss. Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Steph Curry captured the images of his wife in front of their stairs outside.

With no makeup and wavy hair, Curry struck one of her poses by placing her hands in her hair. Based on her caption, the mother of three appeared to be proud of her snapback game.”Took me long enough,” she wrote.

“A whole freakin’ BABE 😍😍😍.”

“Momma Mia!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

“Dayyyyummm🔥🔥🔥🔥 HARD👏🏽WORK👏🏽PAID👏🏽OFF👏🏽!!! Now come bring me back my damn edges!!!”

“Oh she snatched🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

But other fans were divided about the photos and insinuated that Curry was a hypocrite because of her previous remarks about thirst trap images. The Toronto native wrote on Twitter in 2015: “Everyone’s into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters.”

“Girl. you shamed so many women showing off their body and now you’re showing yours! 😂 We don’t want your secret, an apology is needed.”

“The issue is that you talked mess about everyone who showed skin before you gained all this little “confidence”. Should’ve just said ‘”i’m an insecure hater.'”

“She look good we didn’t forget what she said about females who show they body tho 😂.”

“Ooooh so those comments before about what women had on came from a place of insecurity I seeeeeeeeeeee now.”

On Monday, May 25, Curry seemingly defended herself against the backlash in a now-deleted Instagram story. “I’m down 35 pounds, very happy to be. Um..I spent my entire 20s having babies, nursing babies,” she said. “Now it’s my turn to nurse myself. Last comment, I’m Jamaican, I’m strong, I’m fast, and I’m resilient. Thank you,” she concluded.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
