‘Who Is She Fooling?’: Fans Bash Masika Kalysha After She Asks for Surgical Advice

Masika Kalysha‘s post on Friday, Oct. 1, about seeking body improvement got derailed after fans accused the 36-year-old of having plastic surgery — in particular, liposuction.

Liposuction is fat removal procedure obtained through cosmetic surgery.

In the upload, Kalysha — who shared a throwback photo of her physique from 2015 — asked her followers for help by sharing the names of their personal trainers or plastic surgeons, in hopes to return to her previous figure.

She wrote in a now-deleted post, “Imma delete this when I wake up butttt this me in 2015 & (swipe) DO YOU MY THIGHS!??? I need a trainer or a plastic surgeon who can get me back to my Pre-KB body ASAP. At this point I don’t too much care which tag yo doctors & yo trainers b–s. We know you not natural it’s okay we don’t care.”

Things began to take a turn when an Instagram user asked the former reality star to “tag her own doctor.” Kalysha responded by tagging the name “Jesus,” which left many insinuating that her pre-baby body is “natural.”

As the blog site The Neighborhood Talk reposted her upload, many followers immediately pointed out that Kalysha was lying about how she got her previous figure. A handful of them suggested her stomach appeared to be a result of a botched surgical procedure.

“Who she fooling ???”

“Not her lying with the lumpy stomach 😒”

“Jesus like “That ain’t got nothing to do with Me!”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”

“Not she even tagged one of hers 😂😂 I am dying !! Something about her stomach and the way it’s set up screams lipo.”

“Masika that stomach’s been botched.”

This isn’t the first time Kalysha has been accused of having some form of surgery. Last year, after posting a photo of her figure she claimed she gained through working in the gym, many people called her out on it. One social media user even stated again that her figure was obtained by the help of liposuction.

Kalysha clapped back at the naysayers by saying, “I’ve had 5 boob jobs and a hernia repair. I have hella lose skin and cellulite. I busted my ass in the gym since I was 14 u fucking clown. … Y’all gotta stop being so insecure and jealous. Love yourselves and maybe you’ll work as hard as I do to look how you want to look.”

To this point, the only surgical procedure she has publicly admitted to aside from a hernia repair is breast reduction surgery.

Still independent.

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.
