Who Is Eboni Nichols’s Baby Daddy?

Queen Latifah has always made it clear that she owes no one any explanation about what is happening in her love life, and Eboni Nichols’ baby’s father happens to be part of her private life. As a result, it has not been easy to get any details about who the father is.

Speaking in an interview with The New York Times, Latifah said;

“I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life. You don’t get that part of me. Sorry. We’re not discussing it in our meetings. I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.”
