Masika Kalysha is facing a profound loss following the death of her estranged husband, Jamar Champ. The images she shared from his funeral resonate with a deep emotional weight.
In the poignant photographs, the sorrow is evident on little Khari’s face, while baby Amari appears confused and innocent, far too young to grasp the heavy reality unfolding around her. It’s the kind of grief that reaches into your heart, evoking empathy even from strangers.
Recently, Masika has maintained a low profile online, and when the tragic news of Champ’s death surfaced, fans immediately recognized the reason behind her silence. The 38-year-old former athlete and businessman tragically lost his life in a horrific car accident in Houston. According to authorities, a BMW traveling the wrong way collided head-on with Champ’s Tesla Cybertruck shortly after midnight near the Washington/Wescott exit on Interstate 10, resulting in the instant deaths of both drivers.
Masika and Jamar’s relationship was complex, a truth she has never shied away from acknowledging. They wed in 2021, separated in 2023, and Masika later filed for annulment. Despite their tumultuous history, Jamar remained an integral part of her life, as the father of their youngest daughter, 3-year-old Amari, and in her words, the “father/stepfather of my beautiful daughters.”
In her heartfelt posts, Masika refrained from indulging in drama or lengthy explanations. Instead, she captured raw, vulnerable moments from a farewell that no mother or child should have to experience.
She also requested privacy for her family as they navigate this difficult time, and fans have rallied around her, sending love and prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Masika, little Amari, Khari, and all those who cherished Jamar Champ.
