Sometimes growth shows up in the most unexpected moments and sometimes it happens right in front of the internet. One familiar voice is pressing pause and taking a moment to reflect, opening up about where shes been and how far she believes shes come. Recently, B. Simone shared a heartfelt message with her supporters, and the tone alone had folks leaning in to hear what she had to say.
On Thursday, B. Simone took to social media and posted a clip filmed inside her ‘Lets Try This Again’ studio a cream-colored space that looked cozy and lived-in. Sitting in an off-white fuzzy chair, she wore a white shirt with black lettering across the chest, while a black, white, and oatmeal-colored throw blanket rested over her legs. Rocking her signature black hair with curls at the bottom, she spoke directly into the mic. B. Simone began the clip by saying, I want to apologize. I want to publicly apologize to the internet. To God. To anybody that I offended. Anybody that Ive hurt with my words. Maybe on the mic or maybe my opinions, or maybe me saying something out ofa responseinstead of letting it truly marinate.
As the video continued, B. Simone reflected on how dark of a place she says she was in when she first launched her platform. She explained that part of the reason she started her podcast was to prove that she could rise as an underdog despite the challenges she was facing at the time. The conversation became emotional as she spoke about how her relationship with God has grown since then and how grateful she is for the support shes received even during her lowest moments. She also told viewers that she feels shes so different compared to who she was years ago.
Fans and critics alike quickly ran to the ‘Lets Try This Again’ Instagram comment section to weigh in on the clip shared by B. Simone. Some users claimed the moment was simply karma, referencing past situations where they felt she didnt treat her friends the best. Meanwhile, others said they were happy to see her taking accountability and focusing on growth, adding that nobody is perfect and she deserves a little grace.
One Instagram user, @cierraa.janae, said, “Glad to see u taking accountability“
This Instagram user @youloveerickaa added, “You need to make a direct apology to your friend. The internet dont really matter.“
And, Instagram user @officialmiketeezy commented, “Love you sis! You got this ”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @therealleirenee wrote, “Accountability thats real ”
While Instagram user @tsiyondire shared, “You’re human, its Ok to make a mistake!, We love yu B”
Finally, Instagram user @burrodlb said, “Respect. Most people want to do this. . We all make mistakes.“
Fans are left wondering exactly who B. Simone is trying to make amends with. While its unclear what prompted her apology, the internet is buzzing with speculation, weighing in from every angle. Just last year, her best friend, Shekinah, got real on the podcast about going through financial struggles alone from losing her car to living on food stamps while noticing B. Simone helped others but not her.
Furthermore, could B. Simone now want a man with a 9-to-5? Back in 2020, she made it crystal clear: her idealman cant be punching a clock. She wants a partner whos grinding on his own terms, making his own bag, and keeping up with her hustle. He cant have a 9-5, she said, adding that entrepreneurs should stick with other entrepreneurs otherwise, they wont get the lifestyle of being up at 3 a.m., chasing dreams while the world sleeps.
