Alexis Skyy Sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to Her Daughter In Adorable Video

Alexis Skyy is starting her baby girl’s birthday off right, and that is with a good old-fashioned “Happy Birthday” song. On Monday, Jan. 4, Skyy uploaded two short videos to wish her daughter a Happy Birthday. The first video shows the mother of one singing the traditional birthday tune while her daughter, Alaiya Grace Maxwell, smiles. Before ending the song, Skyy tries to lean in for a kiss, but her daughter turns to escape as her smile grows wider.

The second video is an old clip of Skyy getting an ultrasound when she was pregnant with Alaiya.

She captioned the video, “Happy 3rd birthday to the love of my life 🤍 God is so good 🙌🙌.”

Fans loaded up in the comments to say Happy Birthday and compliment Skyy on how well she has done with raising her daughter.

One wrote, “Happy birthday princess! You’re doing a great job mom! Y’all stay blessed and enjoy the day❤️ @alexisskyy_.”

Others gave a simple, “Happy Birthday Princess🎉🎉💕,” or “Happy Birthday pretty girl ❤️.”

A few fans noticed Alaiya, nicknamed Lay Lay, trying to move away from her mom at the end of the video and decided to joke about it.

One person said, “Lay Lay say Thanks Ma😂😂 nah out my face with that morning breath LOL.. Happy Birthday 🎈🎊🎂🎉 Lay Lay.”

The Instagram model welcomed her child with the alleged father of her child and rapper Fetty Wap in 2017. She went into labor after being pregnant for just six months.

Recently, Brandon Medford, a celebrity auto broker, raised eyebrows after alluding that he was Alaiya’s biological father. Commenting under one of Skyy’s posts with her and her daughter, he wrote “Daddy’s Little Girl.” Everyone from fans to Masika Kalysha and Lezhae Zeona, mothers who’ve had children with Fetty Wap, had something to say.

What also caused concern was Fetty Wap’s now-deleted 2019 Instagram Live where he admitted that although he was at the birth, he was not Alaiya’s actual father. He said, “When I feel like I want to be there, I’m going to be there. I’m gonna help, but as far as me going above my boundaries…nah. If it was biological with me, then it would be different.”

Skyy has yet to confirm publicly the father of her child, but in 2019 she responded to Fetty Wap’s claim in a now-deleted post.

She said, “I have never not known who my child’s father is.” She added, “The 2 most hurtful parts about this is knowing 1 day my daughter will see this & having to prove myself to world As if I didn’t know who I laid down & conceived my child with.”

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.
