Fans of 90 Day Fiancé season 9 watched Miona Bell travel to Rapid City, South Dakota to be with Jibri Bell, but the Serbian woman originally hails from a city called Niš. Miona will be experiencing a dramatic lifestyle change during season 9, as she must adjust to rural life in Rapid City. Before 90 Day Fiancé newcomer Miona joined Jibri in the United States to begin a new life, she had a different existence in Niš.
Jibri was presented as a 28-year-old musician with a kind heart and eccentric style. However, his fiancee Miona is not coming off as sympathetic after the first two episodes of season 9. Miona is not pleased that Jibri is living in South Dakota with his parents, so he can save cash since he spent so much money traveling with her. He also lost money when he stopped performing with his band during the COVID-19 pandemic. This left Jibri unable to afford his lifestyle in Los Angeles. However, Miona is determined to move to Hollywood or another major city in the United States.
Although Miona has already been called out by Jibri’s 90 Day Fiancé friend David for being “bougie,” she revealed that her background is much more humble than one might guess while looking at her her jet-setting Instagram. Miona has traveled around the world for glamorous vacations, but she said that her mother and sister have never even been on a plane. They live a very different kind of life back home. Niš is the third-largest city in Serbia, and it is located in the south of the country. According to The Crazy Tourist, Niš has a rich historical background, and the city is also home to multiple memorials that reference the city’s violent past.
Niš is an ancient city steeped in history. The home city of 90 Day Fiancé newcomer Miona existed before the days of the Roman Empire and actually birthed a couple of Roman Empires, making it significantly older than any of the cities in the United States. Niš is populated by people of Serbian descent and has an equal division of men and women. The average age of residents is around 40 years old. The city features a strategic location which facilitates transport between Europe and Asia. Overall, it differs enormously from Rapid City.
While 90 Day Fiancé newcomer Miona is determined to start a glamorous new life in America, she is proud of where she comes from. However, many viewers are concerned that Miona is misrepresenting herself. Her social media and promo photos show her sporting deeply tanned skin and noticeably different styling, compared to how she appeared when she met with Jibri at the airport. Many people who follow the franchise are concerned that Miona is blackfishing. This has caused Miona to become disliked among plenty of 90 Day Fiancé viewers.
