If you don’t know who Saucy Santana is, you have seriously been living under a rock. The 29-year-old rapper is taking the music industry by storm despite only beginning his music career in 2019.
Before rapping, he was a makeup artist for the hip-hop duo City Girls, and he has since come full circle, collaborating on ‘Shisha’ with them in 2021. His music career began when he realised the podcast he was producing with friends needed a theme song, and since then, the multi-talented star has been featured on the covers of Teen Vogue, Paper, and V Magazine, and been a guest on reality TV show Love & Hip Hop: Miami.

He has also collaborated with the queen of dance music, Madonna, remixing ‘Material Girl’ to ‘MATERIAL GWORRLLLLLLLL!’, made Forbes’ 30 under 30, supported Latto and Lizzo on tour, and performed at the VMA pre-show, BET Awards pre-show, and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. His catchy songs, empowering lyrics, and magnetic personality have attracted a huge fan base and co-signs from Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion.
His new song, ‘1-800-Bad-Bxtch’, detailing a series of failed phone calls, was released today, and we are listening on repeat! Like all his songs, it has a catchy beat, and the lyrics— “he can’t treat me like I’m average”— are too relatable. This song has the exact energy we try to emulate when getting ready for a night out, and we can just tell that it’s going to explode on TikTok— with huge glow-up transition potential. Not to mention Santana has a history of TikTok fame, with videos to ‘Material Girl’ receiving millions of views and ‘Walk’s’ ‘#WalkChallenge reaching 3.7B views.
We also couldn’t talk about this song without talking about the outfits! The music video is set in an office, one where he drinks cocktails while his coworkers twerk (jealous honestly)— we wish we looked this good at work.
Styled by Labels N Dollas, Santana pairs a black leather corset and suspended boots with a shirt and tie. Combined with bright orange acrylics, stacked diamond bracelets, oversized glasses, and an orange Hermès Birkin, this look is more runway than run-to-the-printer.
Saucy Santana is not one to shy away from a bold look, and loves a statement bag.

Looking to the future, Santana will be releasing more music and performing at festivals like Something In The Water Festival in Virginia Beach, Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, Broccoli City Festival in DC, and more. We can’t wait to hear this song all summer!
