If folks were to rank the top celebrity shade-throwers of all time, Joseline Hernandez would definitely come in as No. 1.

The “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” alumna recently sent a lifetime supply of shade over to her ex and father of her 3-year-old daughter Bonnie Bella, Stevie J. Instead of recognizing him for Father’s Day, she chose to honor her fiancé DJ Balistic Beats as the only father in her daughter’s life.

Hernandez took to Instagram on Sunday, June 21, and posted a series of photos that showed Beats and baby Bonnie Bella spending time together. She deemed the Miami producer as the “best father” she knew and wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to the best #Father I know 😘😘😘😘😘 Bonnie’Bella loves her Papi so Much 😘😘😘thank you @balisticbeats for making us Complete.”

Instagram users instantly caught on to Hernandez’s shade.

“That’s some disrespectful shady s–t 😂,” wrote a fan. “So you really not gone S/O Stebie 😩😂 chile the Shade! Well Balistics is the step father let him shine happy fathers day 🎉,” commented another.

One Instagram user felt Hernandez was extremely disrespectful to Stevie J. and remarked: “Wooow this is wrong. I don’t care what man I have in my life after having a baby for an other man. Whether or not he adopted him or not. I will never have my child call another man daddy especially if he’s active in his life I will never give another man my child father’s roll. This this COLD.” Another person called her actions “foul.”

Last August, Stevie J. was awarded temporary custody of baby Bonnie after Hernandez reportedly violated their custody agreement.

Afterward, the former couple put their differences aside and formed an amicable relationship in order to co-parent their daughter. The 33-year-old mother even posted a photo of herself and Beats reuniting with Stevie J. and his wife Faith Evans on Aug. 22, 2019. She added in her caption, “Amazing show tonight #FaithEvans #StevieJ #goodvibes #philly.”

Stevie J. has yet to comment on Hernandez’s Father’s Day post, but judging by the mother of one’s words, it seems she and the “Hitman” music producer are back at odds.

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.
