‘Delete It and Start Over’: Fans Clown Masika Kalysha’s Dance Moves During the ‘Corvette Challenge’

Masika Kalyasha has beauty ad style, but no dance coordination, according to her Instagram followers. 

On Tuesday, Dec. 22, the “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” alum shared a clip with her 2.4 million Instagram followers of herself and rapper Dominic Lee doing the “Corvette Challenge.” The dance trend has become widely popular on the social media platform TikTok, but the reality star appeared to be struggling to keep up with the various dance movements while being a good sport nonetheless.

Aware that the challenge wasn’t performed well, Masika captioned the post, “When you @tiktok illiterate but the young kings teach u the dances @dommd4l 😂 .” She added, “follow me on tik tok @KingMasikaKalysha @popphunna I’m sorry @dommd4l for hittin u in the face at the end 😂 #corvette #corvettecorvettec #corvettesofinstagram #corvettechallenge #corvettecorvettechallenge.”

The clip was viewed over 380,200 times, but as usual, at least on social media, online users roasted the reality star on her dance struggles8i and accused her of dancing offbeat and being clumsy. One person wrote, “She must be dancing to a remix 😩🤣 soo offf but cute lmao.” Another user commented, “Delete it & start over.”

“Lmao im hella high right now and i didn’t know if i was tripping or if was really way off 🤣🤣,” another said.

“My poor baby sika did not do this well but hell we can’t be perfect all the time!! Definitely cute to watch 😩,” one sympathetic observer said. 

Masika’s fans haven’t been so easy on her when it comes to trying new things. In November, the Instagram model shared a video snippet for her latest single, “Masether,” and fans were not pleased with what they heard. 

Using Nas’ classic “Ether” beat, paired with imagery of dogs baring teeth, the television star rapped, “Say my name, Say my name/You’s a b**h, you’s a lame/ They do anything for clout, You use my name for fame.”

Folks in the comment section suggested that the television star try a different hobby, including one who wrote, “Wow masika stay away from music! Stay FAR FAR AWAY!” Another person wrote, “omg NO it sounds horrible..im not trying to be mean…just being honest..listen to you fans 😊 its a NO.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — 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.
