Personal life

King was previously married to their tour manager Orville Aris, with whom they share a son, born in 1996. [29]

In June 2012, King came out as a lesbian via Facebook, stating: "I answer now, not because it's anyone's business but because it feels right with my soul and I believe by not answering or hiding it all these years somehow makes it appear as if I am ashamed of it or that I believe it is wrong." [30] [31] [32] They have 15 siblings, but due to King coming out, they are now only close to one. [28] King came out to themself in their 20s, but it took a decade for King to be comfortable with it publicly, for any backlash towards their daughter and son. [33] King was honoured for their bravery on 16, December 2012 and was presented with the prestigious "Vanguard Award" at the Out Music Awards in Las Vegas. King is the first Jamaican artist to ever publicly come out. [34]

[36] In 2020, King stated that they used "he/him", "she/her", and "they/them" pronouns, [37] but in 2022, King changed their pronouns to exclusively use "they/them". [38]

In August 2021, they announced via Twitter the death of their daughter, Shalamar Diana Wright (1987-2021), who was born when King was sixteen. [39] Mijanne also tweeted to commemorate Shalamar and thank her for accepting Mijanne as part of her family. [40]
