‘Strange Combo’: Joseline Hernandez and Angela Simmons Cause a Commotion After Recent Linkup 

Joseline Hernandez and Angela Simmons‘ outing on Sunday, Feb. 13, left fans a bit puzzled over the pair’s budding friendship.

In the Instagram post, Hernandez and Simmons, dressed in swimwear attire, are seen jamming along to Nina Simone’s “I Put a Spell on You” and Gunna’s “Pushin P” tracks as they cruised on an unknown body of water in a boat.

In addition to the recording, Hernandez informed her followers how close the unlikely pair are by writing two peas in the pod in a hashtag alongside a verse from James Brown’s 1966 single “It’s a Man’s Man’s World.”

She said, “but it will nothing without a woman! #twopeasinapod.” As fans began to view the upload, many expressed that they didn’t understand how Simmons and Hernandez could be friends given their different backgrounds in the reality television world.

The differences lie between Hernandez previously starring on the Atlanta and Miami franchises of “Love and Hip Hop” and her current series “Joseline’s Cabaret.” Simmons, who is the daughter of Joseph Simmons (Reverend Run), a practicing minister, starred in various reality shows with her family, including “Run’s House” and “Growing Up Hip-Hop.”

“Strange combo.”

“This is odd.”

“This is a weird link.”

“Didn’t expect this combo but hey.”

“I don’t understand this here lol.”

Among the Simmons and Hernandez’s odd pairing remarks, others expressed how they are accepting of this new friendship despite how different the women may appear onscreen.

One wrote, “Ok I’m here for this friendship!!” Another said, “Opposites attract or how opposite are they really however I’m here for this sistership.” A third person posted, “This is a really weird combo, I’m lost af but to think about it, Angela pops is the king of rock, I guess she has a lil gangsta in her. I’m here for it.”

No additional details about Hernandez and Simmons’ friendship have been released.

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.
