Who’s the New Girl? ‘Black Ink Crew’ Viewers Turned Off By New Brand Ambassador Shading Miss Kitty

Black Ink Crew” viewers were not here for a newcomer’s disrespectful mannerisms towards Miss Kitty, the shop’s brand ambassador.

Miss Kitty was introduced to fans two seasons ago and was brought on board by bossman Ceaser Emanuel. Kitty is responsible for increasing the brand’s awareness and sales. However, a new woman desiring Kitty’s corporate role had no regard for her position.

In an upcoming clip, Signature stopped by “Black Ink” and began pitching her services as a brand ambassador. Miss Kitty asked Signature what strategies she had to offer the shop, but the girl opted to speak with Emanuel instead.

As Signature pitched her marketing plans, Young Bae calls the newcomer’s marketing plan  a “f***ing joke” in her confessional.

The new girl also tried shading Miss Kitty by calling her a “mosquito” and “p***y.” Miss Kitty clearly wasn’t feeling the girl’s rude attitude and slammed her ex-lover and boss Emanuel for not having her back.

“This is some bulls**t. First this girl comes in disrespecting me and Cease is just letting this b**ch slide through,” Kitty said in her confessional. She stormed off out of the shop feeling humiliated and disrespected.

“Black Ink” fans were also appalled by Signature’s “stank” attitude and felt she was extremely rude to Kitty.

“The way she came off is completely disrespectful. Then you come for Ms Kitty by calling her a mosquito? 💀 Nahh son.”

“Pathetic and really thirsty 💦.”

“Looking forward to seeing #MissKitty “checking” her New York style….🙄 Right, she is hella rude and unprofessional!”

“Damn don’t be doing Kitt like that! Shorty needa be pooped in the mouth 😂.”

“I wanna see kitty wrap her ass. She disrespectful already.”

“To think, this girl signature thought that she was even doing something for Black Ink, Yeah right, girl bye and stay gone forever…ain’t nobody got time for that 😒.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
