B. Simone Shares a Pic In Steamy Bikini, Fans Tease B. Simone About Dating a Guy Working a 9-to-5 Job

Sun’s out, buns out. It’s officially summertime! And while some people are choosing to stay away from the beach due to the COVID-19 pandemic, B. Simone is not. On Wednesday, July 1, the “Wild ‘N Out” comedian posted a photo on Instagram that showed her posing in a skimpy swimsuit.

B. Simone, also a rapper, rocked a multicolored two-piece bikini with two straps. The 30-year-old Texas native was all glammed up, wearing a full face of makeup and wavy hair extensions. To add a hint of sparkle to her bathing suit, she sported a blinged-out necklace and a sparkly belly button ring.

The “Baby Girl: Manifest the Life You Want” author implied in her caption that she was planning to release new music. She wrote: “i feel like rapping , i always do what i feel 🤷🏽‍♀️ what should i name my EP 🤔 I’m bout to drop.”

B. Simone’s beach photo elicited countless compliments about her body. One user wrote: “You hot asf🔥.” Someone else said: “Can you relax 🔥😻.” However, one man tried to shoot his shot but explained that B. Simone would reject him because he works 9-to-5 hours. “You do look good. Too bad I’m a 9-5 boul.”

Last month B. Simone revealed in an interview on Nick Cannon‘s radio show “Nick Cannon Mornings” that she refuses to date someone who works a standard 9-to-5 job because such a man would not understand her lifestyle. The self-proclaimed “Manifest Queen” launched her vegan and cruelty-free makeup brand B. Simone Beauty this year.

She later attempted to clarify her comments in an Instagram Live chat with “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star and rapper Light Skin Keisha, explaining that there was nothing wrong with anyone working a 9-to-5 job. However, she said she’s looking for a partner to help her build generational wealth and only someone who owns a company will be able to pass on wealth to their family.

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.
