Alysha Burney: The Internet’s Comedy Queen Who Left Too Soon
Alright, internet fam, grab your tissues and your funniest memes, because we’re diving into the whirlwind that was Alysha Burney—a social media star who turned Zoom call chaos into comedy gold and left us all way too soon 🌟. On March 2, 2025, just one day shy of her 25th birthday, Alysha passed away in her sleep while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, leaving over 5 million followers on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram in shock 😢.
Her brother Charles Burney spilled the tea to TODAY.com on March 12, shutting down wild rumors and painting a picture of a driven, hilarious soul who lived big. So, who was Alysha? Why’s the internet crying? Let’s unpack this rollercoaster of a legacy—and maybe laugh through the tears!
Alysha Burney: From Kansas City to Viral Stardom
The Skits That Made Us Snort
Alysha burst onto the scene from Kansas City, Missouri, with parody videos that hit like a caffeine shot ☕. Her big break? Mocking Bad Girls Club with sass and spot-on impressions that had us cackling—think “Online Classes Be Like” series where she roasted Zoom life so hard, I’m still recovering 😂. With 1.2 million YouTube subscribers and 596K on Insta, she built an empire on relatable chaos—school struggles, sibling vibes, and that “I’m trying to adult but failing” energy we all feel. Charles told TODAY.com she was “goal-oriented, creative, and passionate about giving back,” and her vids prove it—pure joy in every frame 🎬.
More Than Memes: A Producer’s Dream
Alysha wasn’t just a content queen—she was a legit filmmaker 🎥. She founded ABurney Productions, dropping short films like Shiesty, Shiesty II, Lost Angeles, and Hot Girl Getaway. Charles bragged to Fox4 she had a Bachelor’s in Digital Media Production from the University of Central Missouri and was chasing a grad degree in LA. Her dream? Open a studio in KC to lift up young creatives. I mean, who else could slay TikTok and direct like a boss? She was out here living her Hollywood glow-up—until the universe hit pause ⏸️.
The Tragic Twist: Cabo Chaos
What Happened in Mexico?
March 2, 2025: Alysha’s in Cabo with Charles and friends, ready to ring in 25 like the star she was 🎉. She posts a playful Reel with her bro on March 1—captioned like they’re the ultimate sibling duo—and then… silence. Charles broke the news on Insta March 10: “My little sister Alysha Burney has passed.” Cue the internet losing it 😱. He told TODAY.com and Fox4 she died in her sleep from an asthma attack—nothing shady, just a health gut-punch no one saw coming. One day she’s vibing, the next she’s gone. I’m still processing that plot twist, fam.
Shutting Down the Rumors
Of course, the internet being the internet, rumors flew faster than Stitch chasing Lilo 🏃♂️. Drugs? Partying too hard? Nope. Charles clapped back hard on March 13 via Daily Mail and Sportskeeda: “She was a self-loving, happy individual who cherished her life—not selfish with her knowledge, a very classy young woman.” No wild conspiracy here—just a cruel asthma curveball. He’s even threatening legal action against the rumor mill, per The Root. Respect the facts, people—she was too real for fake news 🙅♂️.
Why Alysha Mattered (and Still Does)
The Laughs We Needed
Alysha’s skits were a lifeline—her “ONLINE CLASSES BE LIKE PT. 14” had me wheezing through 2020’s Zoom hell 🎓. X posts from fans like @CCinderfella (March 9) call her “beloved” for that humor, and @hennywithastraw (March 11) mourned how she “made me laugh” with her class parodies. She turned mundane struggles into comedy gold, and we were all better for it. Who else could make a virtual lecture feel like a stand-up special? 😂
A Legacy Bigger Than Likes
Beyond the giggles, Alysha was a blueprint—especially for Black girls in media. Charles told E! News she “wasn’t selfish with her journey,” sharing tips and vibes with anyone who’d listen 🌟. Her production hustle showed she wasn’t just here to entertain—she wanted to build something lasting. Fans on X like @resilient333 (March 14) are still reeling, calling her a “YouTube star” gone too soon. Five million followers don’t lie—she was our chaotic little sister, and we’re not okay 😢.
The Internet Mourns: A Wave of Love
Tributes Everywhere
Since Charles’ post, social media’s a flood of RIPs. @TybuddLewis818 (March 11) met her last summer and gushed, “She was so pretty and funny in real life 🕊️.” Comments on her last Reel—her and Charles vibing in Mexico—are now a memorial wall: “Rest easy, queen,” “You were the best.” It’s heartbreaking but beautiful—like, she didn’t just have followers; she had a fam 🌺. I scrolled her Insta for an hour last night and ugly-cried—don’t judge me!
Charles’ Promise
Charles isn’t letting her fade. “Her legacy will live on forever,” he told E! News, and he’s guarding it like a hawk 🦅. From slamming rumors to planning tributes (per Yahoo, March 11), he’s keeping Alysha’s light burning. Imagine losing your sis—11 months apart, basically twins—and still having the strength to set the record straight? That’s ohana-level love right there 🤝.
