Saucy Santana Blames Beyhive for Trying to ‘Ruin’ Him Over Old Tweets About Beyoncé & Blue Ivy
Saucy Santana has once again found himself on the receiving end of the Beyhive’s wrath over his old tweets about Beyoncé and Blue Ivy. The gay rapper went on a Twitter tirade Friday ahead of his concert in Queen Bey’s hometown of Houston, Texas, lashing out because the singer’s fervent fanbase wouldn’t let him forget about his controversial tweets from 2014. (At the time, he called a then-2-year-old Blue Ivy “nappy headed” and claimed he was “prettier” than her famous mom. And though he’s since deleted all the offensive tweets from his timeline, screenshots have been making the rounds on the social platform.) “Fake woke a– bi—es!!!! People don’t care about old tweets,” Santana fired off. “The internet have this weird thing with power! Thinking they have the power to cancel someone… NEWS FL...

Rap Song of the Week: Eva B’s “Rozi” Is a Banger Without Borders
Rap Song of the Week is a Friday round-up of the hip-hop tracks you need to hear. Check out the full playlist here.
