Her rise to fame began in July 2024 when she first started posting cooking videos, but her big break came in December. One breakfast video in particular skyrocketed her popularity. In it, she boldly declared, “One, two, Kya’s coming for you. Wake up and make your man some breakfast before I do,” before adding a cheeky twist by popping whipping cream into her mouth and dancing as she showcased her dish.

Fans were quick to mimic her infectious energy and unique style, turning her into a viral sensation. However, not everyone was a fan. One user humorously posted a video of themselves dramatically reacting to the idea of their partner watching Kya’s content, saying, “Me, if I ever hear the words ‘cooking with Kya’ come from my man’s phone.”

Amid the fun and fandom, Kya also faced criticism, sparking debates across social media. One supporter passionately defended her on X (formerly Twitter), writing:

"Cooking with Kya exposed the hypocrisy within women in the WORST way. Y’all are not friendly, y’all are not kind, and there’s no sisterhood or empowerment. Black women aren’t protected, even by OTHER BLACK WOMEN. Y’all pick and choose who to like and bully, and Kya didn’t deserve any of this hate just because men enjoy her content, her looks, and her cooking. Simple as that."

Love her or not, Cooking With Kya has undeniably left her mark on social media, blending sass, style, and skill to cook up a phenomenon that’s as delicious as it is entertaining.
