Some of her mother’s fans believe her to be a lesbian, and this to be the reason behind Imani not speaking about the men whom she has dated.

Some also believe that she’s today perhaps in a relationship with a non-celebrity American man, but prefers to keep it all private; this hasn’t been confirmed either.
