‘I Don’t Do Crackheads’: K. Michelle Shades Joseline Hernandez When Asked If She’d Join ‘LHHMIA’

It looks like K. Michelle and Joseline Hernandez won’t be mending their friendship anytime soon.

The two former friends and “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” co-stars fell out a few years ago over a Mona Scott-Young beef and apparently haven’t spoken since.

K. Michelle recently had a going away party on the last season of “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” to celebrate her move to Miami. When asked if fans could expect her on the new season of “Love and Hip Hop: Miami” franchise with her ex-bestie Hernandez, she replied, “Absolutely not.”

“I just don’t do well with crackheads,” she further told Atlanta Black Star on Thursday, Jan. 16, after discussing her new album “All Monsters Are Human.” “I don’t do well with drug addicts. I can’t … they don’t take no responsibility. I’m in a new place in life. … If I know you on some stuff, then I’m just gone leave you there with the stuff.”

K. Michelle and the “Puerto Rican Princess” became good friends during their time on “LHHATL” together, and rumors even circulated that the two were intimately involved at one point. However, in 2017 when Hernandez began beefing with Scott-Young, their friendship came to an abrupt end.

K. Michelle was spotted at her then newly opened Puff & Petals lounge in Atlanta celebrating her success with the “Love and Hip Hop” producer at the time. Hernandez apparently had an issue with her friend hanging out with her sworn enemy and wrote via Instagram, “When y’all have to clique up. Lol y’all knows what’s good. Check yourself before you break yourself. I’m in your hood.”

Things took an uglier turn when K. Michelle spoke highly of Scott-Young, which teed Hernandez off more. The “Run Me Money” artist seemingly suggested that K was a rat.

Fed up with Hernandez’s antics, K. Michelle fired back on Instagram, “You find to come for me but u can’t comb that pretty little baby hair, what a disgrace #freebonnie.”

Social media users had a lot of reactions to the pair’s beef at the time.

“Joseline mad for no reason tho. Just because she doesn’t like Mona doesn’t mean nobody else has to.”

“Kmichelle fake af!!!! She know Joseline don’t fw Mona like that. Smh get her Joseline!”

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.
