In a surprising turn of events, Saucy Santana, who recently made it into the XXL Magazine Freshman Class of 2022,
finds himself in hot water. While many expected the spotlight to shine on his music,
it’s his past comments on social media that are causing a stir,
particularly his remarks about Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy.
The Beyhive, known for their fierce loyalty to Beyoncé, has wasted no time in dragging Santana for his derogatory comments about the iconic singer and her daughter. Santana’s old tweets, dating from 2014 to 2017, resurfaced recently, revealing disrespectful remarks targeting Beyoncé and Blue Ivy.
In one tweet, Santana referred to Blue Ivy’s hair as “nappy,” a term with racist undertones, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about Black hair. He also compared Blue Ivy to North West, insinuating that one was prettier than the other, which drew criticism for its inappropriate nature and underlying anti-Black sentiment.
Furthermore, Santana didn’t stop at targeting children; he also body-shamed Beyoncé during her pregnancy with twins, calling her appearance “dry.” These comments have sparked outrage among fans, who are calling out Santana for his past behavior.
Attempting to address the backlash, Santana took to Twitter, dismissing the significance of old tweets and claiming that social media users don’t have the power to cancel someone. However, his response only fueled further criticism, with fans condemning his lack of accountability and respect.
Despite the uproar, Santana has yet to issue a formal apology to Beyoncé or Blue Ivy. While some speculate about potential repercussions for his career, others emphasize the importance of accountability and genuine remorse.
In the midst of the controversy, Beyoncé’s cousin, Angie, shared a message of empowerment for Black women and girls, echoing sentiments of self-love and acceptance. Meanwhile, sources suggest that Beyoncé herself is focused on positivity and won’t be drawn into the drama.
As the saga unfolds, many are calling for Santana to take responsibility for his actions and offer a sincere apology to Beyoncé and her family. Until then, the repercussions of his past comments continue to reverberate across social media, serving as a reminder of the power of words and the importance of accountability in the digital age.
