‘Girl Sit Down’: Fans Clown Masika Kalysha’s ‘Awkward’ Slow-Motion Twerk Video

“Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Masika Kalysha is under fire for apparently acting indecent on social media.

It’s pretty evident the 34-year-old television personality doesn’t mind flaunting her body and physical assets all over the ‘Gram, but a few fans feel her content comes off as overly provocative.

Kalysha posted a soundless and slow-motion clip of herself gyrating and dancing wildly, seemingly inside a party bus. The Instagram video also captured the mother of one twerking with her butt in the air while sticking her tongue out. Several fans instantly deemed the post “awkward” and ill-suited.

“Girl sit down you look dumb and awkward af. You too old to be acting like this 🗣. U a whole mother.”

“Isn’t it time to grow up? I know the show is a show and I pray y’all arent as childish in real life. Even soundless I still cringed 🤢.”

“Am I the only one who felt uncomfortable watching this? 🙄 Masika have some self respect for urself. Twerking errday ain’t it boo.”

On the contrary, others fans seemed to be impressed by Kalysha’s moves and gawked over her curvy body.

“That s–t jiggling work dat ass sis 😍💃🏾.”

“I’m just trying to see her throw that ass in a circle 👀 no music 👏no music 👏 ah ah ah ah ah go sika.”

There have been plastic surgery rumors surrounding the “GUHHATL” star’s body that she has yet to confirm or deny. However, when a fan accused her of having a tummy tuck in 2016 she somewhat put those rumors to rest, firing back, “Ya’ll b–ches be so mad when a woman just naturally looks good.”

Kalysha’s comebacks landed her the title “clapback queen,” which she proudly accepts.

“I’m very witty, and I feel like a lot of people are very stupid,” she told , 96.7 The Beat during an interview. “So I feel like stupid questions or stupid things said deserve an equally stupid response.”

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.
