May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Since taking centerstage on "Black Ink Crew: Chicago," Ryan Henry has become a controversial character on and off the show. In fact, Henry's rather cruel treatment of his staff has become so notorious that a compilation of the many times he has fired staff members from his tattoo shop, 9MAG, on the show actually exists on YouTube. Outside of the show, Henry also raised quite a few eyebrows as well when it was revealed that he had slept with Nina Marie, the ex-partner of his best friend, Anthony Lindsey. To add insult to injury, Henry is the godfather of the former couple's child. Oh, and Lindsay was suffering from cancer at the time as well, according to Atlanta Black Star.

Since high school, Henry has had a years-long on-again, off-again relationship with fellow "Black Ink Crew: Chicago" cast member Rachel Leigh. The pair share a 12-year-old son, Mason, together. Even though they are not together, Henry has proven that he is committed to being a positive presence in his son's life. Leigh also has a younger son, Grey, with R&B singer Jeremih, who has not been actively involved in his son's life. From the moment Grey was born, Henry has acted as his father. "My second son is not mine biologically, and I take nothing away from his father, but my son's brother is treated as my son is, no question about it," Henry wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, per Decider.
