Joseline Hernandez knows how to sew controversy, and she’s done just that with recent snaps of herself rocking cocaine-inspired merch.

The Joseline’s Cabaret star took to X to share images and one clip of her wearing a sweater that reads, “Cocaline,” a play on “cocaine” and her own first name, as well as being a reference to lines of coke. She also wore matching Croc-like slip-ons.

The look caused a divide amongst fans, with many taking issue with Hernandez seemingly promoting drug usage.

“I love you to death joseline but this ain’t some shit to walk around and be proud of smh very sad,” replied one follower, with another adding, “Putting it on a sweater with sparkles doesn’t make this cute at all. Idk why ya hype her up to do dumb ish.”

Hernandez’s fellow former Love & Hip Hop star, MariahLynn, also took issue with the merch, citing her own mother’s past addiction as reason she could never support the move.

“I honestly don’t find this sh*t cute,” she began via TNT‘s comment section. “I thank god everyday that my mother has 4 years clean cause lord knows what I went through as a daughter watching my mother almost self destruct and not be here to meet my kids. I understand living in your truth but come on now, people are dying from fentanyl overdoses and all types of sh*t. Yall can eat me up in the comments but idc I said what I said.”

“I agree I think too many things are being normalized and glorified,” wrote one supporter of MariahLynn’s statement, with another observer adding, “Everyone telling Mariah to shut up does some cocaline for sure.”

There were others, however, who supported the move, as Joseline has previously admitted to using cocaine, and is often bashed for it.

“Can’t throw something in someone’s face that they’re OPEN about!,” offered one supporter of the merch, with another fan adding, “People were throwing it in Joseline face. She took it & decided to make $$ off of it.”

Hernandez has yet to confirm when/if “Cocaline” will be available for purchase.
