Saucy Santana recently faced backlash from the Beyhive after old disrespectful tweets resurfaced regarding Beyoncé and her daughter, Blue Ivy. Despite his recent success as part of the XXL Freshman Class of 2022 and a new song with Lotto, fans dug up offensive comments he made between 2014 and 2017, where he insulted Blue Ivy’s hair and compared her unfavorably to North West.
The comments sparked outrage, especially given that they were directed at children. Santana’s derogatory remarks about Black hair and body-shaming Beyoncé during her pregnancy only fueled the fire. The Beyhive, known for fiercely protecting Beyoncé, responded with a wave of criticism, highlighting Santana’s inconsistency and calling out his past behavior.
Instead of apologizing, Santana dismissed the backlash on Twitter, claiming that online outrage doesn’t have real power and insisted he’s changed since those comments. His attempts to downplay the impact of social media felt tone-deaf given his reliance on it for his career. Meanwhile, Beyoncé, maintaining her usual poise, has reportedly chosen to ignore the drama while her cousin, Angie, publicly defended Black women and girls.
Fans continue to urge Santana to take accountability and offer a genuine apology, emphasizing the need for growth and learning from one’s past missteps. For now, the drama remains unresolved, with many still waiting for the apology that seems unlikely to come.
