Reality TV star Masika Kalysha has spoken out after the tragic death of her estranged husband, Jamar Champ, who was killed in a car accident in Houston. The 38-year-old former college football player reportedly died at the scene of a fiery collision caused by a wrong-way driver, leaving friends and fans in a state of shock.
According to KHOU 11, the incident took place just after midnight on October 27 on I-10 near Washington Avenue. Authorities report that a BMW going the wrong way crashed head-on into Champ’s Tesla Cybertruck, resulting in a fire that claimed both drivers’ lives. Investigators are looking into the circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether the wrong-way driver may have been under the influence.
The heartbreaking news quickly spread across social media after Masika shared a deeply emotional message on X (formerly Twitter). “God woke me up at 2:00 a.m.… I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t know why. Jesus Christ, I just received the worst news of my life. Pray for me and my kids, please,” she wrote, conveying her profound sorrow and disbelief.
Supportive messages from fans and friends flooded her notifications in response. “No words, just sending you strength,” one fan remarked, while another added, “You don’t deserve this kind of pain. Lifting you and your babies up in prayer.”
This tragedy is especially poignant given the couple’s complex relationship. Although Masika and Jamar were married, they were reportedly estranged at the time of his untimely death. They had chosen to keep their relationship mostly private after quietly marrying in 2021. However, they were occasionally seen together at events.
Sources close to the family indicate that Masika is concentrating on her children and leaning on loved ones as she navigates this devastating loss. The Houston Police Department has yet to release the complete report, but early details suggest that both vehicles were destroyed in the accident, and the highway remained closed for several hours for cleanup and investigation.
