It's about to be a what, GIRL FIGHT.

Netflix’s W.A.G.s to Riches reached a boiling point in its third episode as social media influencer YesJulz and former agent Kenea Danair, once linked to Sharelle Rosado, found themselves in a fiery confrontation that turned physical. The conflict erupted when Kenea accused YesJulz of being a "culture vulture," a term often used to describe those who appropriate cultural elements without genuine understanding or respect.

YesJulz pushed back, calling the critique unjust, particularly given their limited personal interactions. However, the tension deepened when Julz made a comment that seemed to question Kenea’s contributions to the Black community. Kenea, refusing to back down, defended her claims, citing a previous controversy involving Julz’s interest in wearing a shirt with a divisive slogan. The exchange intensified, with words giving way to insults before escalating into physical contact.

As viewers take sides, the moment has underscored the ongoing dialogue about respect, identity, and the power dynamics of influence in modern media. W.A.G.S. to Riches is available now on Netflix.
