On June 25, 2025, X page @Raindropsmedia1 posted a video of actress and musician B. Simone showing off her pricey grocery bill. The video was shared days after she complained about having to shop at H&M.

B. Simone reflects on the financially draining process of building her LTTA app
During her conversation with Shekinah on the latest Let’s Try This Again podcast, B. Simone confessed to facing financial discrepancies owing to her investment in curating the LTTA (Let's Try This Again) venture.
Simone announced the launch of the app in November 2024, describing it as a women-focused app aiming to “cultivate a safe and empowering community that integrates faith, encouragement, and entertainment."
As per the Los Angeles Times' June 23, 2025, report, the LTTA app offers access to exclusive content like a podcast episode featuring DaBaby and is priced at $71.88 a year or $9.99 a month.
Expanding on nitpicking at her finances at the moment, B. Simone mentioned in her podcast:
"I just don't have it like to spend the liquid. I'm used to having liquid, and because I've invested in this app and this platform, I don't have the liquid. I got the money but not yet, it's coming."
Simone continued:
"I have it in assets, I have it in jewelry, I have it in you know, but it's like, the liquid I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account... I don't want it quick, and I'm not complaining. I know that, I believe in what we're building."
B. Simone was also trolled for not helping out her struggling best friend, Shekinah, shortly after their podcast episode aired.
In the episode, Shekinah talked about having financial issues and how it was difficult for her not to resent Simone when she was helping out others and not her best friend.
