There might be a few dolls and queens on the scene, but to fans of ‘Love & Hip Hop ATL,’ there’s only onePuerto Rican Princess.Joseline Hernandez made that crystal clear for six seasons, a few times an episode, when she stepped into the room or was on a cast member’s head. 2012 to 2017 was an era, and since then, she’s been in her Zeus bag. That’s just to say we’d be lying if we said modern-day reality TV doesn’t know Joseline!
So why is she trending now? Recently, a social media user asked her Puerto Rican driver in Puerto Rico about the Puerto Rican Princess! After the post went viral, The Shade Room shared it on Instagram, and Joseline replied to the trending clip and the man’s words in the comment section!
As mentioned, a social media user uploaded a video of her driver while traveling in Puerto Rico. In it, someone off-camera asks the man who Joseline Hernandez, a.k.a the Puerto Rican Princess, is. He says he’s unfamiliar and then stops another rideshare driver to ask if he knows Joseline Hernandez. When the man says he’s unfamiliar, the driver stops again to ask another man, who also says he’s unfamiliar. The driver then says Hernandez is Puerto Rican from “Temu.”
Yikes! The driver leaned on her being an “artist” from Puerto Rico rather than her primary reality TV persona. They didn’t mention her reality shows.In two days, the video has collected 1.5 million views on TikTok, more than 312,000 likes, and nearly 12,000 comments.
Known for hardly biting her tongue, the Puerto Rican shook the comment section when she took a different route this time. When she stepped into TSR she offered the driver, who said to call him, tickets to her next “sold out” show in Puerto Rico.
“Everyone doesn’t have to know me on the island. I had a very successful sold out show a couple of months ago! So shout out papi driving! I’ll get you tickets next time in #PR so you can come see the amazing show! #JoselinesCabaretCalifornia go watch and stream.”
The woman who shared the clip online, @iiamchanellee on TikTok, seemingly doubled back with another post about Joseline Hernandez amid her comment section blowing up! A user had commented on the initial post of the driver dissing the Puerto Rican Princess. They wrote, “In her defense she never said she was the princess OF Puerto Rico, she’s always said she is the ‘Puerto Rican Pricess’ which means (in my mind) that she’s a princess that’s also Puerto Rican.”
The original poster reacted by sharing a throwback video of Joselin in response. In the clip, Hernandez is seen telling ‘Drink Champs’ hosts that she’s popular in Puerto Rico, and they know her as the princess. “That’s my hood,” she said. That video is also racking up attention, nearly 20,000 likes so far.
