Princess Nokia's dating history remains relatively unknown, but she has been forthcoming about how she prefers to navigate relationships. Though she wishes she had started dating later in life, her romances fostered a lot of self-awareness and internal growth.

Born Destiny Frasqueri, Bronx native Princess Nokia broke into the music scene in the early 2010s. She gained prominence following her 2014 mixtape, "Metalic Butterfly." The artist followed with "Honeysuckle" in 2015 and released her first EP, "1992" in 2016.

After signing with Rough Trade label, Princess Nokia re-published an extended version of the latter record, "1992 Deluxe," in 2017. She subsequently embarked on a tour worldwide, performing in the US, Scandinavia, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

In 2020, she dished out two full-length albums, "Everything Sucks" and "Everything Is Beautiful." Princess Nokia has since collaborated with other well-known rappers, including Ashnikko and Baby Tate; however, a lesser-known part of Nokia's persona is her love life.

Princess Nokia Was Involved in Mature Relationships since Adolescence

Princess Nokia has yet to share details regarding her past loves, but the musician has been candid about their role in her life and growth. In March 2023, speaking with Billboard, she revealed that she started "dating seriously" at 14.

She confessed, however, that these relationships were a form of escapism. "I was an abused child. So I used intimacy and relationships because I wasn't receiving love and empowerment. from my house," she explained.

Princess Nokia added that she never had "formative, parent love," and one way or another, that led to her growing up too quickly. "I really wish that I would've started dating much further along in life. I want my childhood back, I want those sleepovers, I want that wholesomeness," she lamented.

Princess Nokia's Dating Advice Emphasizes Openness

Princess Nokia once said that nothing about her past experiences made her feel embarrassed or ashamed. Hence, she found being "very honest" with a romantic partner relatively easy. For the musician, openness (like that of relationship guru Niecy Nash) lays the foundation for the relationship.

It's how she sees if she and a potential lover are compatible or share the same values, which is her preference. She feels that being with someone who is "passionate and wacky, and somewhat complicated" and shares a lifestyle similar to hers reduces the possibility of conflict.

In a more humorous setting, on Elle's "Rap Therapy" series, the musician shared some relationship advice with a young woman named Ariana. When Ariana confessed to struggling to maintain a relationship for over a week, Princess Nokia responded, "Girl, you and me both!"

Princess Nokia's Romantic Partners Have Only Appeared Mysteriously through Her Music

In 2019, Princess Nokia briefly opened up about a former boyfriend when she spoke about transitioning from rave culture to hip-hop. "I had a boyfriend in 2010, and he was a rapper. I told him, 'I'm a rapper too,'" she said.

She added that she had a solid spiritual inclination toward a rap career, even if she "didn't do it well." In March 2023, her EP, "i love you, but this is goodbye," dropped. It was reported that the first single off the record, "complicated," describes and talks about a past relationship.
