The “Princess of Puerto Rico”, as she is affectionately called, never fails to bring her Spanish flair to everything she does. Whether in the booth, where she rhymes to the beat or in front of the screen, Joseline Hernandez has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with.
The girl from Puerto Rico is a rapper, actress, and reality TV star. Her most popular project to date has been her participation in the ultra-successful reality TV series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta by VH1, which became one of the channel’s highest-rated shows.
Joseline’s hectic pace meant that she was able to gradually shake off her glowing experience as she grew to be a recognized and respected face in the world of urban music and entertainment.
Joseline Hernandez Bio (Age)
Hernandez’s childhood was far from easy. She was born on November 3, 1986, and grew up in Puerto Rico’s public housing system. Her family almost always had to make ends meet. To help the family financially and to provide for herself, Joseline started strip dancing at the age of 16.
This was the beginning of a turbulent period in her life. In 2003 she was arrested for lewd and offensive sexual behavior. In 2007 she was arrested again for the same reasons in general. On both occasions, she was registered under the false name Shenellica Bettencourt. In an effort to make something of herself other than getting undressed, Joseline tried her hand at a TV pilot for Showtime Network. In the project, which was essentially about a group of strippers in Miami, she went back on the air under her fake name. Unfortunately, the film didn’t fly.

Luck seemed to be on her side when she caught the eye of veteran producer Stevie J. when he visited the Onyx Club in Atlanta.
