L&HH's Masika Tells the Story Behind Her Daughter's Unusual Name

'Khari Barbie' has a special meaning.

Masika Kalysha got to relive the birth of her daughter, Khari Barbie Maxwell, on Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood last night, and in an extra special bonus scene from the reality show, she shared exactly what her daughter's unique name means.
The "Maxwell" part obviously comes from her father Fetty Wap's government name, Willie Maxwell II. The story behind her first and middle names is pretty amazing.

“Khari means queenly, born to rule and bring joy, and joyful song,” Masika says of her infant’s first name. “And then Barbie, just because I mean, she’s gonna be a Barbie doll, look at her mom!”
She also shares that her own name, Masika, means "invincible" and that her mom gave all of her siblings African names. (Her sister is Jamila and her brother is Jabari.)

Watch Masika set the record straight about her dramatic relationship and pregnancy with Fetty Wap with BET Breaks, above.
