‘Love and Hip Hop’ JuJu Has Folks Doing a Double Take: ‘You Look Like Gabrielle Union’ 

Social media appeared to be taken aback by “Love and Hip Hop” star Juliet ‘JuJu’ Castaneda‘s resemblance to actress Gabrielle Union in a recent photo.

Castaneda is known for her reserved personality on the reality series and is often praised for her striking beauty. The “Cuban Princess” recently shared a photo on Instagram last week dolled up from head-to-toe. She sported a blinged-out blazer with black pants paired with a full face of glam makeup including a bold red lip. She also rocked shoulder length black wavy tresses with a deep side part.

The author captioned the photo, “What you Bring to the Table ‘ I Am the Table !!! I Declare that In the most Humble way possible. To my Ladies and Fellas, What is a MUST bring to the table in a relationship? #Juju #Beauty #Brains #Hustle #Loyalty #MyOwnBag #KnowYourWorth #Educated #Degreed #GoalGetter.”

Fans admired Castaneda’s beauty, but they couldn’t happen but notice how much she and Union looked alike.

“Mujer you and Gabrielle Union look alike! Beautiful ladies 😍.”

“You look like Gabriella Union here 😍 Absolutely gorgeous … Winner 😂.”

“I swear you look like Gabrielle Union!!! You should be FIRST LADY, somebody’s wife of a PRESIDENT.”

“Gabrielle Union vibes beautiful❤️ You look like you can have your own talk show.”

“Wow you favor @gabunion very much on this picture 💯 beautiful 😍❤️ Juju you are amazingly beautiful inside and out. I love how you acknowledge people on your posts.”

“I thought u were @gabunion for like ten minutes 😭.”

“Looks a little like gab Union on this pic so gorgeous Queen🙌🏽 She’s beautiful!!! Cam messed up.”

Castaneda recently called it quits with “Dipset” rapper Cam’ron after 10 years of being in a relationship together. She told Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” in December 2017, “Cam and I, we were really good friends and he said it wasn’t fun for him anymore and I was concerned about what was going on on Instagram and saying who he was following and that’s not true,” she said. “I basically was more concerned about the respect level.”

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.
