Ryan wasn’t here for someone calling “Black Ink Crew Chicago” boring on Twitter.
The current season of “Black Ink Crew Chicago” started off pretty messy. Charmaine was grieving her father after he recently passed away from cancer. On top of that, she is still grieving her mother who passed away prior to that. So when it came to her tattoo shop, 2nd City Ink became hard for her to manage amid her own personal hardships. This led to Charmaine clashing with Miss Kitty, Draya, and Prince. All three took issue with the way Charmaine was running the shop. And eventually, Charmaine fired both Prince and Kitty. Draya left on her own. And she accused Charmaine of colorism.
Charmaine decided it was time to end her time on the show once she saw the colorism accusations aired in an episode. She also said that no one in power respected her grieving process or pregnancy. And she didn’t feel it was cool to make her focus so much on the negativity while she was pregnant and grieving her father. In her opinion, her storyline should have primarily been about losing her father while pregnant. Not what she claimed was manufactured show drama.
So Ryan, Phor, and Don are the last OGs left standing. And some fans haven’t been happy with the direction of the second half of the seventh season.
Ryan actually responded when he peeped that one Twitter user called the show boring. The person tweeted, “This show is boring. #BlackInkChi.” And Ryan then tweeted, “Where is the ******* and fighting! What’s wrong with these adults!”
I mean it is boring 🥴
The ratings are the worst they have ever been.
The show isn’t boring the problem is that they’ve grown up and have learned how to handle the issues like adults. Adults behaving properly has always been exciting to watch. They probably just need to go ahead and cancel the show. Because although the target audience says they want them to grow up, now that they have grown up the target audience no longer wants to watch because happy people aren’tas exciting to watch as unhappy people.
This cast is not happy. Don still fights with Ashley, Phor doesn’t get along with his baby momma, Ryan is overworked and dealing with trauma, Kitty is grieving, Draya and Prince whine about everything, etc. The show is still boring. For crying out loud on the last episode they faked a ghost being in the shop. The viewers aren’t the problem. This group has no more interesting stories to tell. It’s all been done.
I feel like it’s really the new cast in general. The show doesn’t have the same spark it had when the old cast plus others were on there. Prince is cool and everything but I honestly don’t think they should’ve made him and draya the main cast members of the show. I even find it a little weird that kit is even a main cast member considering that she never really had a valid storyline while being on Chicago other than being friends with Charmaine and pretending to work at the shop. Both Black Ink new York and Black Ink Chicago have gone downhill and that’s just what it is
Wait…I love the show! I watch knowing it’s not going to be the same crew. That makes me happy. It’s only an hour folks. Y’all spoiled expecting an Emmy-nominated show. Take it for what it is. Support or turn the channel. Don’t constantly knock the show. It’s Chicago for goodness sake! The scenes of the city and it’s people get me hyped every time! And then there’s Ryan. 😍🥰
