“Riv’s got the type of energy you just can’t fake,” Juice shared. “She’s funny, gorgeous, and has that natural star quality that people gravitate toward. She’s the total package.”
River has been lighting up TikTok and Instagram lately, going viral with her content, promoting her single “Roundz” featuring Jay Lewis, and some hilarious skits. With millions of views under her belt and fans growing by the second, it’s clear she’s carving her path to stardom.
“She’s not just a rapper—she’s an entertainer,” Juice added. “River knows how to connect with people, whether it’s through her music or just being herself. And trust me, we’re just scratching the surface of what she can do.”
JonGotFanz and the Upcoming ‘JonGotJuice’ Tape
