B. Simone

Braelyn Simone Greenfield (born April 5, 1990), known professionally as B. Simone, is an American actress, comedian, entrepreneur, musician, and social media personality. She rose to prominence in 2017 when she joined the cast of the sketch comedy show Wild 'n Out.

Career Simone was born on April 5, 1990 in Dallas, Texas. She began performing at a young age, joining a girl group as a teenager. She began uploading music onto MySpace when she was 16 years old.

She grew up in the church, as her father Wesley Greenfield Jr. is the senior pastor of the Love Zion Baptist Church, in Columbus, Ohio. In her early twenties, Simone moved from Dallas, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia to further pursue a career as an entertainer, but never really embraced her religious upbringing, before becoming born again.

Through posting her music, comedy clips, and life updates on social media, Simone has amassed a significant following on Instagram. As of May 2024, she has more than six million Instagram followers.

Business ventures

Simone launched a vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand, "B. Simone Beauty", in 2019. As of May 2024, the brand is on hiatus. In 2021, she collaborated with Footaction to release a clothing collection called "Faith Over Fear".

Plagiarism controversy

In March 2020, Simone published a self-help book titled Baby Girl: Manifest the Life You Want. In June 2020, multiple social media users accused Simone of plagiarism, showing several examples where pages from Simone's book contained text nearly identical to that found in other books and Internet pages. Simone apologized and blamed the copied content on a company she hired to assist with writing the book. Sales of her book were paused due to the incident.
