It was a shock to Black Ink Crew viewers everywhere when it was revealed that Sky Days is the biological mother of two sons, Des and Genesis. She gave birth to her sons at a young age and put them up for adoption. She revealed in a season 3 episode, "I always was told that you [are] always supposed to do the best for your children. I feel that I did." Her sons feel the opposite. Sky and her adult sons haven't had the easiest time reconnecting with one another after years of lost time. The tension between them is often too much and too emotional, leading to explosive arguments and tears.
Sky's eldest, Genesis, feels that Sky abandoned him and his brother, and has a hard time grappling with those feelings. In a tearful conversation with uncle Ceaser Emmanuel, Genesis said, "She raised me for six years, and then she gave me up and walked out on me. I'll never forget that."
Sky and Genesis, as of October 2020, seem to be working on their relationship since the former's suspension from the show, per Urban Belle Magazine. As for her relationship with Des, things have gotten better. In October 2020, Des spoke out via Instagram about his relationship with his mom. Dess wrote, "My mom and I are [two] different people, many ways alike and many ways different. I know my mother has as much love for me as I do her. #chillwithbs." We love to see the growth!
