Cyn Santana and Angela Yee are getting dragged through the streets on social media today over remarks they made on Yee’s “Lip Service” podcast.
It appears someone dug in the crates and pulled audio from a two-year-old interview where Cyn talked dating black men and how they cater to “Spanish” women because they don’t have attitudes like black women.
Angela responded, “Ut Oh. She’s gone get herself in trouble now with the black girls.”
Listen to the clip below.

WOW. WOW. Ive been enamored with @Cyn_Santana for a good while. She seemed so kind. Now we gotta find out she hates Black women and only dates Black men because they treat us less than Latina women. That's WILD trash. No wonder she with Budden https://t.co/kck6Q259Be

I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again, Angela Yee brings nothing to any conversation. She never has a rebuttal against ignorant statements (Cc: Cyn Santana ?), she never defends herself or anyone for that matter on #TheBreakfastClub, she’s legit just there… pic.twitter.com/3PyCdwlZh6

It’s not all Cyn Santana’s fault for her ignorance. Black men are programmed that anything non-black or mixed is better. They will literally kill themselves if they can’t get one. Cyn was just mirroring exactly what she’s probably been told by black men so she believed it.

Angela Yee’s response to Cyn Santana’s ignorant comment was “Ohh you gonna get yourself in trouble with black girls”, when Yee is a black girl herself is not surprising…. The fact that she would feel comfortable enough saying that on YOUR platform speaks to what you allow.. pic.twitter.com/SfM0ELiWvC

Cyn Santana basically said that she dates black men because they treat Spanish women better than black women, black women have "attitudes". sis, your black man beats women into miscarriages and writes songs about it. your black man got you begging for dick on tv. LMAOOOOOO bye.

Cyn Santana issued an apology saying she would never bash a black woman in any way.
She also went on to say she no longer uses the N word.
Nah I’m gonna explain myself because these strangers are black women. And I especially love THE BLACK WOMAN. I’ve never in my life bashed one. Never will. So yeah ima explain myself and shed some clarity on a clip that’s being spread around with little context https://t.co/HoxxtEvxSW
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
Let’s have this conversation. I’m not here to fight. 1-its an old interview. I no longer use that word. Growing up, EYE did not know that the N word was actually a BAD word that offended. Once I learned the TRUE meaning and how hurtful it was, I took the word out of my vocabulary https://t.co/mawwrN8aVD
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
Idk why. I would love to have this conversation. Im not scared to and I’m not here to fight. I think we SHOULD have this dialogue. Cause I understand the frustration. So let’s shed light on it and clear things up https://t.co/cox14vnbix
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
I wanna be VERY clear on where EYE stand. I’ve never bashed a black woman in my life. NEVER have and never WILL. It ain’t in ME. I don’t feel it. I improperly used the word “especially” in the interview which made it seem to some as if I was separating myself and looking down on
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
If I’ve offended anyone I do indeed apologize, I used the word “especially” in a way that changed the context of what i was trying to say for some, and while i was TRYING to be sensitive I used the word “personal” because I know its a sensitive topic. I’m not here to attack.
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
But now let’s have a deeper talk. I’m not mad at this conversation. I think its an important one to have actually even if it’s at my expense
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
Growing up there was always a lot of tension between a Latina woman and a black woman. Why? I never understood it. Until my recent adult years. I understood why it’s a sensitive thing. The things black women endured historically. Actually, a lot of thanks to y’all.
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
I’ve used the N word ignorantly most of my life not knowing that it was actually a bad word and it was offensive. Took that word out of my vocab. The term “Spanish” was commonly used, in urban culture, in the hood, in the ghetto, to describe a Latina. took that out of my vocab
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
I also never understood the term “Afro Latino” til recently. “Your nose is big and your hair is curly and nappy” yes. But I never knew what these terms were. It’s not that I didnt identify as Afro Latina or black. And truth is, I was afraid to offend anyone identifying as such
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
Y’all can say I’m dumb n ghetto. I’ve prob done a lot of dumb and ghetto shit my whole life but one thing I’m not is a racist/woman basher. Every day I make a conscious effort to be a better and wiser person. So once again I apologize because my intent is NEVER to hurt or attack
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
That’s possible tho…. I didn’t know how heavy that word was. I’m talking bout the core of it. How truly demeaning it was. Why y’all always wanna fight everyone on here? I don’t act dumb. Im speaking from a genuine place. I’m growing just like y’all. Different struggles https://t.co/k6s4EX7RRv
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
I was actually gonna try to correct myself but was afraid to. I was gonna say the black men I’ve dealt with have always treated ME well. What does a black woman have to do with my preference?? What I said was stupid. Could’ve put more thought into it but I wasn’t BASHING anyone https://t.co/BXhnQOqG0M
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
It doesn’t sit well with me. I love people way too much. I love women way too much. I ESPECIALLY love women of color WAY too much. I said some bird shit. I was much younger. I appreciate your kind words, I hope you have an even better day ❤️✨✨ https://t.co/iEEtdbS87Y
— Cyn Santana (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019
Yes. It is extremely uncomfortable. Beyond. But I’m not hiding. I aint a facade. I stand very firm in who I am. I express it every day. Saying some dumb shit one time doesn’t make me this monster. And I’m here to apologize if I did offend any woman. Thank you Jess❤️ https://t.co/ROrFaJqHmb

Your thoughts?
**Update**
Cyn Santana has issued another apology via Instagram:
The sh-t is heavy and uncomfortable as F–K but I ain’t turning my backs on y’all. I think this conversation is important. A snippet of a podcast I did in 2016 is going around in which I said some unfavorable things. I didn’t properly articulate myself. I was speaking about my preference in Black men vs the Latino man. I didn’t intend to bash Black women. I NEVER HAVE. NEVER WILL. It’s NOT how I feel or ever felt. The truth is I said some dumb bird sh-t and it has offended and hurt MANY, especially Black women, so for that I want to wholeheartedly sincerely apologize. And I will continue to do so. I’m not a racist. I don’t bash women. I don’t bash Black women. I’m team melanin queens ALL DAY. This sh-t is DEEPER than me. Psychologically and historically. I was ignorant. I once upon a time lacked depth because while I may be Afro Latina, people may not look at me or treat me as they do other BLACK women. B–ch do u see my nose? My hair? I would NEVER think I’m better than ANYONE. In the 3 years since this interview, the Black women in my life have taught me so much about what society has put them through and how the things I said in that interview could be harmful. 3 years may not seem like a long time but spiritually it has been. I make a conscious effort every single day to be a better person, to be wiser and spend every moment of my day trying to be a positive force in other people’s lives cause I LOVE PEOPLE. I LOVE WOMEN. I LOVE SOULS. I’m passionate about THIS SH-T. I didn’t have the POV of a black woman before but thanks to the Black women who surround me, I’ve learned SO much. Thanks to y’all I’ve learned so much. I’ve learned why she fights. And why it’s sensitive. I didn’t put much thought into what I said at the time and I recognize that. For that, I apologize once again. One love ❤️✨
