The fitness coach is very active on her Instagram account, which has garnered more than 200k followers, where she dropped big names like 50 Cent, Ice Cube, Shaquille O'Neal, and Usher. Although Karlissa is happily married to her second husband, Sterling Saffold, she doesn't shy away from sharing details about past flirtations. In a video where the mother of three flaunted her p, she declared:

"Y'all already know I wasn't nothing to deal with 20 years ago. Sh*t 25, put a week on it. [I] wasn’t nothing to play with, okay? Ask somebody. Who I turned down? 50, Shaq, Cube… Who else? Usher… It was a no! So momma didn’t play. Better ask somebody, I wasn’t nothing to deal with. It was a no.”

Adding another layer to this revelation, Karlissa Saffold shared more intriguing details during an appearance on the 'Jason Lee Show,' providing a deeper insight into these captivating encounters.

"Usher was like, please come here. And then Snoop was on my period. Thank God I didn't go there because that would have just been horrible."

Usher responded with a courteous plea, encouraging Karlissa to come closer. The R&B sensation navigated the situation with grace, leaving a positive impression on Karlissa.

In contrast, Snoop Dogg contributed a humorous anecdote, jokingly claiming to be on his "period" during the encounter. Karlissa expressed relief at not pursuing that avenue, alluding to the potential awkwardness it might have caused.

When asked about Shaquille O'Neal, she said:

"Well, he came to my house and the damn Jonathan woke up. So he just calling and calling and calling in the front of my house. And Jonathan, I'm trying to put him to sleep. You know, I don't want him to know. You know, I got the kids in here. Couldn't put him to sleep, so I just stopped answering the phone."


Shaq's approach had an unexpected twist as he visited Karlissa's house, resulting in a comical situation with persistent calls while she tried to put her child to sleep. The basketball legend's repeated calls led her to ignore the phone, highlighting the challenges of handling unexpected visits.

In contrast, Ice Cube distinguished himself with a respectful demeanor. According to Karlissa, he approached the situation with courtesy, expressing a desire to collaborate and offer work opportunities. His professionalism in the encounter left a positive impression on Karlissa.
