Fans Trash Joseline Hernandez’s Rap Skills: ‘Let It Go’

Rapper Joseline Hernandez is spittin’ new bars and fans are less than impressed.

The former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star posted a video to Instagram on Friday touting her rap skills as she rehearsed poolside for her upcoming performance on WeTV.

“When your manager @kingdomlos got you doing Rehearsals under the sun ☀️ to get ready for [your] performance in front of millions millions millions of people on @wetv 😩😩😩😩😩😩 #SLAY” she captioned the clip, as she pranced around in a bikini and bright pink thigh high boots.

Fans weren’t feeling the Puerto Rican Princess’ new song, however, and dubbed her the “Walmart brand of Cardi B.”

“I’m sorry but this song succkkkssss!!” one person wrote.

“You’re never in-tuned with the beat!,” another chimed in. “It’s too frustrating to listen to you.”

One critic urged the reality star to abandon her music career altogether, writing, “let it go.”

“Joseline, you are beautiful, have a quick wit, I respect your grind,” another user agreed. “But I really think your time should be focused on something else, like a scripted comedy sitcom, model. Seriously anything besides rap! 😟”

Hernandez not only received flak for her rap skills, but was recently slammed for promoting health and fitness after admittedly having plastic surgery. The rapper’s round rear end was the topic of discussion as fans debated whether it was natural or not. Some blasted her 21-day fitness challenge and argued her body was mostly “silicon and fat.”

Hernandez seems unfazed, however, as she currently stars in her own reality show “Joseline Takes Miami,” on WeTV.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
