State Champ Radio juelz santana
Juelz Santana, he of The Diplomats fame, is exactly the first person that comes to mind when one thinks of success and education, and we’re sure you can detect the sarcasm. In a recent appearance, Juelz Santana suggested that children don’t need to learn how to read and should instead focus on math and finances.
Keeping things Harlem, Juelz Santana, aka “Mr. Human Crack In The Flesh,” joined the set of the No Funny Shxt podcast and covered a wide range of topics. The episode naturally opens up with Santana showing Kenny “KP” Supreme and DP how to tie his signature bandana style.
Santana displayed moments of humility and wisdom after sharing his woes with using lean, and even showed some remorse for promoting the lifestyle surrounding the drug. He also shared details of his successful cannabis brand, promising an update soon.

Near the end of the podcast, after a hilarious tale of crossing paths with Mike Tyson, Santana seemed to start out the gate correctly in saying children should embrace financial literacy, but lost the plot swiftly after boldly declaring that reading is indeed not fundamental.
“By the time they get to 9th grade, they should be learning how to start businesses,” Santana began. “But they don’t really know how to read. I say that respectfully.”
Santana was hit with some mixed results from KP and DP, and tried to clarify his point by saying audiobooks are just as valuable as reading.
He hammered everything home by saying, “I believe common sense is better than everything. I’m a common sense n*gga.” What was the last book Santana listened to? 48 Laws of Power.
Right.
While Juelz Santana is correct in saying some kids could benefit from audio learning, he’s expressing that angle in place of reading, and it could become a confusing message to the youth. For someone who didn’t want to promote drug use to kids, it appeared odd for him to promote moving away from the benefits of literacy.

After three years of wedded bliss, Juelz Santana and Kimbella Vanderhee are calling it a wrap.
This past Wednesday (Dec. 28), the Love & Hip-Hop star took to her Instagram page to announce the news by posting a seductive picture of herself on the beach and simply stating “next chapter…S I N G L E” in the caption. Looking to explain the sudden split, Kimbella went back on her IG Stories and used a few movie clips to demonstrate how she felt while writing things like:
“Arguing 24/7 because his feelings were all that mattered… Begging him to change so we could make it work… Feeling numb because he made you feel like the problem… Watching him mess up again when he promised he’d change… Feeling alone after he lied the whole relationship.”
A person can only take so much before moving on. She stood by him while he dealt with his gun charge, apparent addiction problems and even dental struggles. She did her part, b.
Whether or not Juelz is in his feelings about the split or feels free (some men would celebrate the ending of a marriage), is unclear as he hasn’t commented on the matter. Spending more than a decade together, the couple share two children, Bella Monroe, 10, and Juelz Santana James, 12, and ultimately married in 2019.
Now that Kimbella and Juelz Santana are “back on the market” you can expect them to be “living their best lives” on social media for all to see and dissect.
What do y’all think of the breakup? Let us know in the comments section below.
