‘Look at the Red Flags Jos!’: Joseline Hernandez Fans Slam Her Boo After He Fails to Reciprocate Her ‘I Love You’

Although it’s pretty evident Joseline Hernandez is head over heels in love with her boyfriend DJ Balistic Beats, there’s still a slew of fans who have their reservations about him.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” alumna showboated her and Balistic’s special moments together all over social media this weekend. People delighted over how much of an apparent upgrade he was compared to her ex-fiancé Stevie J., while others questioned the music producer’s intentions.

Hernandez posted a sweet moment of Balistics recording a video of her at the beach on her Instagram feed Monday afternoon. In the clip, the 32-year-old mother ran into the water and turned around to tell him “I love you.” She then asked him, “Who do I love,” before turning away from the camera.

Fans of the celeb instantly slammed her boyfriend for not “returning the love.”

“Look out for the red flags Jos! He couldn’t even say he love her back!😧”

“He caught you almost slip on camera but couldn’t say I love you bk or when asked! Red flags!”

“Yo I swear this dude just ya security guard 😂 you in a pretend relationship he ain’t returning the love back”

“She said I love u and he didn’t even say it back smh dump he Joseline 👎”

Others quickly defended the couple’s relationship, urging critics to “relax.”

“Y’all talm bout he don’t love ❤️ her but he show her off and says how much he love her on his page CONSTANTLY. Y’all mfs need to relax”

“So many people keep saying he didn’t say back 🙄 go to his page and see how he feel about her. Clearly he’s crazy about her miserable mfs”

Hernandez and Beats reportedly will be appearing on season 15 of We TV’s “Marriage Boot Camp,” although that development remains unconfirmed. Specifics about the cast or premiere date of the show have yet to be released.

The twosome publicly announced their relationship in April with a photo of each other cuddled up together. Hernandez wrote in the caption at the time, “He knows i love him.” She also referred to him as her husband and her daughter’s “stepdaddy.” It’s unclear how long Hernandez and her new boo have been dating, but the couple seem to be happy together.

In more recent news, Hernandez and her ex Stevie J. are due to appear back in court Thursday, August 15, for their ongoing custody battle over their 2-year-old daughter Bonnie Bella. As of now, Stevie currently has temporary custody of their toddler.

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.
