‘Her Lashes’: Alexis Skyy Shares Video of Her Daughter Waking Up, Fans Gush Over the Toddler’s Beauty

“Love & Hip Hop” reality star Alexis Skyy is more than just a television personality and an Instagram influencer. She’s a mother to her 2-year-old daughter Alaiya Grace Maxwell, whose father is thought to be rapper Fetty Wap.

On her Instagram profile, Skky often flosses her fly ’fits, beauty, promo of products, and occasional glimpses of her life with her daughter.

On Sunday, June 28, Skky uploaded a video of herself spending time with Alaiya, who just had wakened from her slumber.

“Hey, good morning,” Skyy said to her daughter, who rubbed her eyes.

Skky caressed her daughter’s face as Alaiya looked up at her mother and cracked a smile.

“Wow, I’m so blessed 💕,” the 25-year-old captioned the video.

The heartwarming moment left fans gushing over the toddler’s physical features, specifically her full eyelashes.

“Her lashes 😍😍😍😍.”

“I love her eyes 😍.”

“She’s Awesome And Adorable !!! Blessed, you are with a Bundle of Joy ❤ Strong Gals Rock !!!”

“Layyyyyy is so beautiful 😍🤗 I love her life‼️”

“She is so beautiful.”

“Those lashes😩😍😍.”

Skyy gave birth to her daughter on Jan. 4, 2018, prematurely. Skyy has claimed that Fetty Wap is the father, but the MC said in a now-deleted Instagram video from September 2019 that while he will always love Alaiya and help Skyy out, he’s not going to go beyond his boundaries.

“If it was biological with me, then it would be different,” Fetty Wap said.

Skyy responded merely by saying that she wasn’t going to get into a back-and-forth about the issue. While Fetty Wap being Maxwell’s biological father is up in the air, the Instagram influencer’s love for her child is evident.

In December 2019, she wrote a now-deleted Instagram note to her daughter, saying, “I love you so much, Alaiya being your mother is the best thing that happen to me.”

“I’m always on the go working I wish I can be there every second, but mommy is making a better life for you every second I can every new door that opens just know it’s for you it breaks my heart that I can barely share moments like this cause people are so sick and Evil,” she added.

Alaiya underwent surgery in January 2019 due to treat her hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in the brain’s cavities.

However, it looks as though the tot is doing better and enjoying life as her mommy is on the go.

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.
