Engagements are supposed to be the most blissful time between a couple. But some folks just couldn’t find it in their hearts to give Juelz Santana and Kimbella their moment.
Instead of congratulating Juelz for getting down on one knee and proposing to his longtime girlfriend, people instead attacked the couple over the timing of the engagement. Kimbella in particular received the bulk of the criticism for waiting ten years for Juelz to pop the question. Folks also speculated that Juelz only asked Kimbella to marry him because he’ll likely be going to prison soon.
Juelz Santana finally popped the question to kimbella after being together over a DECADE. Bitch naw can’t be me

Sadly, the Love & Hip Hop New York couple couldn’t enjoy a week of being engaged before having to address the naysayers. In an Instagram comment, Kimbella made it clear that she was willing to wait however long it took for her man to be ready.
Meanwhile, Juelz defends his decision to marry Kimbella when one of his followers claimed he only proposed as a means of keeping her under lock and key once he’s away. “If I was worried about someone taking her [while I’m gone] I wouldn’t of did it,” he claims.
Kimbella and Juelz began dating in 2009 and have two children: Juelz Santana James and Bella Monroe James. Juelz’s trial for his March arrest will begin next month.
Juelz reflects on how his drug problem and house arrest have impacted his relationship with Kimbella and their kids.
