It seems “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” viewers believe there may be some truth to the rumors about Miss Kitty and Ryan Henry.

On the latest season of the New York franchise, Miss Kitty was fired from the shop after her best friend Tati, claimed she and Henry slept together at the New Orleans Essence Festival last year. Both Henry and Kitty denied rumors of the two of them being intimate, but the latest episode of “Black Ink Chi” suggests otherwise.

On the Jan. 22 episode, Kitty and Henry were both in New Orleans to support Charmaine Walker and attend her late mother’s funeral. While in town, Kitty discussed taking a management position at 2nd City Ink that Walker offered her. Henry seemingly hinted that Kitty should take the job and move to Chicago permanently.

Later on that evening, both Kitty, Henry and their co-stars attended a downtown New Orleans pub, where things got wild real quick. After chugging down a few drinks, Jess, who co-owns part of Walker’s shop 2nd City Ink, began making flirtatious moves on Henry. She kept throwing herself at him and showing him her breasts.

Kitty witnessed the flirty exchange between Henry and Jess and appeared to be quite upset.

“This just reeks ultimate levels of desperation,” Kit said in her confessional.

The former “Black Ink” brand ambassador then pulled Henry to the side and asked, “What the f–k is y’all doing over here?” to which the 9MAG owner replied, “Just chill, I’ll tell you.”

Henry and Kitty then left the pub together in a black SUV and headed back to Kit’s hotel room. The 9MAG owner didn’t return to his New Orleans rental property until the next morning.

Many “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” viewers took Kit’s apparent jealousy to heart and felt it stemmed from her and Henry being more than just “friends” as they claimed.

“Oohh if we could put gifs on hereeee 😭 oh yeah they def f–king! Look how jealous Kitty got. I would too ryan fine af!”

“Hmmm…seems like he’s more than your ‘friend’ if you’re mad that another woman is flirting with him. 😅”

“Oooo so the rumors are true! I think they together. You could see kitty’s face she wants him. Oh they f–ked that night 😂 “

“So they where messing arond all a long 🙊😂? That’s her man that’s why she mad cause that’s Jessica life if she wanna show her tits ass or coochie 🤷🏽‍♀️idgaf ima sip and look and laugh with Ryan. I knew it!”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
