In January 2018, King announced that she had married her long-time girlfriend, Jamaican violinist Mijanne Webster.

In 2016, she announced she's at work on an all-lesbian record label in addition to a new studio album and an EP. The full-length album will be a reggae release, while her EP will be an EDM (electronic dance music) release.

For the international release of the album, King renamed the album to AgirLnaMeKING and it was released on her birthday, 8 November 2012. Two more singles "Closer" and "Jeanz N T-Shirt" were released in 2012.

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." She has 15 siblings, but due to her coming out, she is now only close to one. She came out to herself in her 20s, but it took a decade for her to be comfortable with it publicly, for any backlash towards her daughter and son. She was honored for her 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.
