Fans of reality show “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” are offering their condolences as Jamar Champ, the estranged husband of Masika Kalysha, has sadly passed away. His passing is the result of an unfortunate car crash on October 28. He was 38 years old.
According to PEOPLE, Champ was on the Houston freeway when he was struck by a wrong-way driver. The car, a silver BMW, was traveling westbound in eastbound lanes. Champ is said to have been driving a Tesla Cybertruck at the time of the tragic crash.
Following Champ’s death, Kalysha issued a statement. She said, “I understand the blogs have a job to do. I just ask respectfully that you guys refrain from posting information until I do.”
She continued, “Because words spread fast to children.” Kalysha then said that her children are not on social media, but their friends are. She also asked for privacy at this time. Kalysha and Champ tied the knot in 2021 and share one daughter.
The former “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star also posted on X. She wrote, “God woke me up at 2:00am… 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.”

Regarding Champ, he was an entrepreneur and a former football player. Of course, he was also a devoted father to his daughter with Kalysha. He will be missed.
I thought Tesla was indestructible. What that man drove off the cliff with his family and they all lived. This man was in the truck that I thought was even stronger. I wonder what happened.
OK, now I’ve read what really happened. This article didn’t give all the information.
She’s probably going to sue Tesla…Condolences though
