Saucy Santana spoke to Angela Yee about his viral song "Quiet On The Creek" and what he perceives as misdirected backlash.

Saucy Santana has a viral hit on his hands with "Quiet On The Creek," but a lot of that attention is due to controversy. Many fans have accused him of making that song about kids, especially in the wake of a resurfaced video in which he made what seemed to be sexual comments about children.

"N***as want to f**k me, kids want to f**k me, aunties, everybody," Saucy had said while on Instagram Live, as caught by The Shade Room. He denied ever being involved with kids or referencing that behavior, reportedly sharing an old video of him shutting down children trying to flirt with him.

Santana spoke about this controversy with Angela Yee on her Lip Service show. Yee asked for a clarification, which is when he pulled up the old video.

The honorary City Girl said she doesn't care to respond to people spreading misinterpretations of him online and said this drama has never been his character. Saucy said any sexual dynamic between adults and children is not cool, bringing up the family he would be disappointing and harming if the Internet's gossip was true.

Also, he spoke on online narratives waiting for a celebrity's success before jumping down their throats. This is what Santana believes is happening right now amid the success of "Quiet On The Creek." Still, he said God is on his side and folks can't strip away the song's impact from him. Saucy Santana denied the song has anything to do with children.

Saucy Santana Speaks On "Quiet On The Creek"

Elsewhere, Saucy Santana has more Internet drama to handle. However, fortunately, it seems like the noise isn't as prominent beyond this controversy. Previously, he found himself in the middle of various rap feuds, whether it was his issues with JT, the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj beef, or other narratives.

Saucy has faced more frightening scares before, and it doesn't seem like this backlash is slowing down "Quiet On The Creek." So he knows well that these Internet narratives come and go. Still, it goes to show how easy it is for comments to face misinterpretation, and intent won't always save someone from having to be accountable for them.
