Phor and Nina went Instagram official in October 2020 when he uploaded at least two snaps of the pair in their best drip. Phor rocked a black T-shirt, distressed jeans, sneakers, and a Fendi scarf. Meanwhile, Nina wore a long black gown and stiletto heels. The tattoo artist was seen posing with his new boo while placing one hand on her thigh. In another photo, Nina was seen sitting on Phor’s lap while sticking her tongue out at the camera. 

The two were in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the time, celebrating Nina’s birthday. Not much is known about Phor’s new girlfriend, but she is an aspiring artist. Before getting with the singer, Phor was dating Instagram model Nikki Nicole

The reality star and Nikki broke up in October 2018 on her birthday after he was caught cheating on her with other women. During season 6 of the VH1 show, the rapper confirmed that he and Nikki were over for good. 

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.
