Hollywood’ star Masika Kalysha’s ex Jamar Champ dies in wrong-way crash

“Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” alum Masika Kalysha’s estranged husband, Jamar Champ, died in a wrong-way car crash in Texas on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old was driving on the West Interstate Highway 10 in a silver Tesla Cybertruck just after midnight when a silver BMW going the wrong way struck his vehicle head-on, according to the Houston Police Department.

Champ’s car subsequently crashed into an 18-wheeler, while the BMW — which had been going westbound in an eastbound lane — caught fire.

The Champ Academy creator was in critical condition when taken to the hospital and later pronounced dead.

The BMW’s driver was also killed in the collision, although the individual’s identity has yet to be revealed.

Champ is survived by his and Kalysha’s 3-year-old daughter, Amari.

When the former couple wed in 2021, Champ also became the stepfather to the reality star’s daughter Khari, 9, with rapper Fetty Wap.

Champ and Kalysha separated in 2023.

The actress alluded to her estranged partner’s passing in a tweet on Tuesday about receiving the “worse [sic] news of [her] life.”

She wrote, “God woke me up at 2:00am… I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t know why. Jesus Christ … Pray for me and my kids please.”

In a tearful Instagram video, the “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” alum wrote that she was “in shambles” and asked outlets to “refrain from posting information.”

She explained, “Word spreads fast to children and although my kids aren’t on social media, a lot of their friends are, and a lot of, all their parents are. And I don’t want my kids to find out at school before I can tell them.”

Kalysha did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The singer and Champ became romantically involved in 2020, years after Kalysha’s split from Fetty Wap.

In 2024, Kalysha confirmed in a red carpet interview that she was “going through mediation with [her] soon-to-be ex-husband,” which had been a “vicious” process.
