When it comes to superstar rappers within the Alphabet Mafia, one must be familiar with Saucy Santana. This Florida-based entertainer started his career off as a makeup artist, and he has grown into a big-name star with the demeanor of a boss.
For those who don’t already know, here are 5 reasons why Saucy Santana is a pop culture icon.
He has a close relationship with City Girls
Many came to know and love Saucy Santana through his affiliation with Yung Miami and JT of City Girls. Santana first came to know the rap duo through his work as an MUA, and he eventually formed a close bond with them.
Santana appears to be particularly close to Yung Miami, and fans can explore a plethora of hilarious moments between the two on Instagram Live, including his famous “Caresha, please!” moment.
It’s also worth acknowledging that City Girls featured Santana in their music video for “Jobs” back in mid-2020, and they have a song called “Shisha” together.

He's spawned various bops
While Saucy Santana is definitely associated with City Girls, don’t get it twisted: he’s a music star in his own right.
Santana first broke into the music scene back in 2019 with the release of his debut EP, Dog Walkers. This was soon followed by “Walk Em Like A Dog,” which was an instant success.
Some of his other well-known tracks include “Walk,” “Money,” and “It’s A Vibe,” and his 2019 “Material Girl” anthem has recently grown into a massive TikTok hit.
He's been a viral sensation for years
While TikTok has helped propel Saucy Santana to further recognition, he’s been known to be quite the character online for a while now.
Aside from his aforementioned “Caresha, please!” video, Santana also went viral for a video in which he parodied Nicki Minaj‘s verse in B.o.B.’s “Out of My Mind” while wearing a bob-cut wig, and the video frequently resurfaces on Twitter.

He continues to provide for his ex-girlfriends' kids
People are quick to associate Saucy Santana with glam, but his heart of gold needs to be acknowledged as well.
During a recent interview, Santana reminisced about his pre-fame life and revealed that he still helps out his old flames and their kids.
“I had came out as bisexual at first,” he said. “I wasn’t f**king no b***hes for real, but I was dating girls. I used to have all the baddest b***hes.”
“I still to this day send some of my old high school girls Cash Apps for their kids and s**t. I still f**k with them—not like that, but there’s love,” Santana added.
We love a big-hearted man who isn’t afraid to step up to the plate for people he cares about!

He's all about confidence and manifestation
As one would likely infer from his music, Saucy Santana is all about getting listeners to channel their inner (and outer) baddie, and this confidence powerfully spills over into his professional life.
During an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this month, Saucy Santana spoke on how he’s manifesting future pursuits while still taking the time to be grateful and smell the roses.
“Two years from now, it’s giving the face of fashion. It’s giving the face of makeup, it’s giving Grammy’s, its giving movies… the s**t that I can do in two more years, I can’t even imagine,” Santana said. “I reflect a lot and I’m just grateful.”
