The Love & Hip Hop star posted the sad news saying, ‘Tomorrow we celebrate you @1of1champ4x 💔’ and made clear the funeral arrangements. The gathering is meant to be a time when orange and white balloons can be set free into the sky as a sign of ‘love, memories, and remembrance,’ Kalysha told her friends. They will come together at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston on Thursday at 5:30 pm to make a space for mourning together and honoring Chaney’s life.
Kalysha’s plan of the memorial while still in mourning has been a sign of that kind of strength which has earned admiration of many of her followers and supporters. The reality star, who is known from the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, has not hidden her mourning process since Chaney’s death and even asked to be left alone while she passes through this hard time along with their kids.
It seems that the community has been emotionally touched by her, and as a result, her comment section has turned into a place with thousands of messages offering support. One user was showing how Kalysha’s strength amazed him when he wrote ‘I never would stop crying. She is so strong. ❤️’ The same feeling was shared throughout the answers, showing that Kalysha’s method of publicly dealing with private grief has attracted the sympathy among the followers of her story.
Another user noted that Chaney’s death has hit so hard that even people who were not familiar with him, like the commenter, feel it. The user commented ‘I did not know Jamar I just followed him on here and I can’t stop thinking about him ever since I saw your post Masika asking for privacy… The tragic news and I just can’t stop thinking about him as if I knew him 💙’ This implies that the tragedy has a wide-ranging impact and social media can unexpectedly connect people during the time of loss.
Condolences and prayers have been sent from everywhere, one telling Kalysha ‘praying for you and those babies 🏾💐💐💐’ and another one saying ‘You are so strong. Praying for you and those babies 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽’ Different people pointed out the same theme in their comments: the admiration of Kalysha’s strength, together with the great concern about her and the children during such an unbearable time.
The memorial service at Booker T. Washington High School is very significant because it goes back to his roots and educational background. By choosing his former school as the gathering place, Kalysha is bringing Chaney’s complete life journey to an end – from childhood to fatherhood and even beyond. The couple or Chaney’s personal significance or preferences regarding the blue and white color scheme is probably what is in the choice.
Some users indicated they would like to be present at the memorial physically. One user said ‘I’ll be there 💙💙💙’ which shows that the community plans to be around Kalysha and her family with their presence during this public remembrance. Being there physically is very important at times when words seem useless, covering the ones most affected by the loss with a network of care.
Kalysha has received not only emotional encouragement but also practical support in the form of advice. One commenter suggested ‘Stay strong for them babies ‘ showing that Kalysha is carrying a heavy burden as she must be a grieving partner and also a mother who is still there for her kids during this tough period.
It is very clear that Kalysha’s honesty in grieving has not only made it possible for her community to feel the same loss but also to offer them support. Through making her suffering and her intentions of honoring Chaney’s memory public, she has transformed personal tragedy into an opportunity for community healing and remembrance. The balloon release symbolizes not only the act of letting go but also the love being sent to heaven, a love that transcends even the mere physical presence being given a visual form.

As the people of Houston prepare to congregate at Booker T. Washington High School, the memorial will still signal the strength of shared memory and the capacity of humanity to extract beauty from vast loss. Masika Kalysha’s strength in organizing this tribute alongside her own suffering is a remarkable reflection of the resilience and love that even death cannot conquer. In her career, Kalysha has revealed she was fired from Hooters for being too attractive. She has also been open about her financial strategies, revealing her $1000 investment blueprint for building wealth. Additionally, Kalysha revealed her page was deleted three times and she lost millions.
