“Looking Beautiful 🔥🔥🔥.”

“Now that’s a BODY take notes from the QUEEN OF MEMPHIS, TN BIHHHHH.”

The praise that K.Michelle is receiving shows that she has come a long way on her journey for a healthier lifestyle after removing silicone from butt injections from her body.

In February, K.Michelle received significant backlash after a clip went viral of her dancing to Cardi B’s “Up” record in the bathroom.

While dancing, the 35-year-old turned to the side, and it appeared that her butt cheek dropped. K.Michelle tried to hide it as the video was recording, turning her body in the opposite direction on Instagram Live, but it was too late.

Her clip made it onto social media, with social media users leaving negative comments about K.Michelle’s body. K.Michelle picked up on the negativity and addressed the incident on her personal Twitter account, writing, “So the video of me dancing is sad that I even have 2explain. I walked y’all through how difficult this process of removing silicone from my body for 3YEARS/16 surgeries. Did we not forget I almost died due 2this?????? Now I’m in the process of 3 reconstruction steps.”

“I haven’t bothered anyone. I’ve been out of the way, so What I don’t understand is what was the purpose or what was so entertaining about a woman FINALLY bein able 2walk again with EXTRA fat from the removal,” she continued.

“I saw the comments, and of course, it was Black women filled with so much hate.”

K.Michelle added that she had one more surgery left this year, and it looks like she is happier than ever with her physique.

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.
