Fans Accuse Joseline Hernandez of Biting Cardi B’s Style in New Photo

“Bardi Gang” fans were definitely in their feelings after “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Joseline Hernandez was photographed wearing a similar outfit to raptress Cardi B.

Hernandez had some harsh words for Cardi B. last year and even dropped a diss track against the “Bodak Yellow” artist. Therefore, fans were a little shocked when the “Puerto Rican Princess” was pictured wearing almost the exact same outfit Cardi B. sported during New York Fashion Week.

The 31-year-old shared a photo of her trendy fashion on Instagram Wednesday evening and wrote “Hey hoe.” She sported a lavender pantsuit with an open top and ruffling feathers. Hernandez’s attire resembled Cardi B.’s purple Christian Cowan suit with large feathers.

Fans compared both star’s outfits and claimed Hernandez “stole Cardi’s style!”

“Trying t be Cardi B. you got a long way to go. Bye,” an Instagram user wrote.

“OMG she picked up Cardi’s outfit after her performance 😂😂,” one fan commented.

“Now this stupid b**ch wants to put on purple after Cardi B is posted wearing purple in Milan. Copy cat.”

“Hey copy cat, did u really jock Cardi B’s outfit?? Naw Suss U don’t got the dripp like dat!”

“Hahaha she tried to jump on the band wagon with purple you are not #nickiminaj or #cardib sit it down.”

One fan added, “Sis know she stole that look from Cardi oh hating b**ch.”

In November 2017, Hernandez dropped a diss record about Cardi B. titled “Hate Me Now.” She wrote on social media, “Exposing you hoes.”

In the song Hernandez rapped, “Drag a Bronx bi**h, yeah I said it—what you gonna do?/Fabricated, illustrated, cartoon/Bloody my a**…you holler Blood—who the hell cosigned this h*e?”

Hernandez’s former fiance Stevie J. claimed that she was jealous of the “Motorsport” rapper’s success. In Hernandez’s diss song she insinuated that Cardi B. was a “wannabe” version of her.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
