Saucy Santana came under fire from a Memphis non-profit claiming he skipped out on their show.

Saucy Santana is one of the definitive LGBTQ+ voices in all of hip-hop right now. Despite that, he's caught up in some controversy over a prude event that he allegedly skipped out on. According to The Neighborhood Talk, a Memphis non-profit called One Memphis One Vision booked Saucy for a show that he never showed up to. "One Memphis One Vision claims that their company booked Santana for a Juneteenth Pride event that was supposed to take place June 18th," the report claims. "The org agreed to pay Santana a total of $25k to host the event and perform two songs."

After apparently missing his flight, Saucy Santana wasn't able to make the event. Afterward, the report claims that "Santana’s team then tried to convince the promoters to “find him another place to perform” and pay him the backend of $10k that he was owed." OMOV declined as that "wasn't part of their agreement." The organization then asked for them to return the $5k that they spent on the days' events, but Saucy's team refused. OMOV then said that they play to sue for the money they're owed and are asking for a public apology from Saucy Santana.

Saucy Santana's Missed Performance

Saucy Santana has had a mostly uncontroversial 2023 until this dropped. Just last week he dropped his new single "Whole Family." The song featured a guest verse from Flo Milli and saw the pair holding nothing back. The song was also dropped with an accompanying music video. In the video the pair and a number of backup dancers parade around a spa living their best lives. It's Saucy's second new single of 2023 following "1-800-Bad-Bxtch" which dropped back in March.

Saucy Santana also reportedly has a song with Lil Nas X that's yet to be released. The pair have linked up to perform the song together multiple times. The existence of the song has been known for a while but it still doesn't have a release date. What do you think of the controversy surrounding Saucy Santana's missed appearance over the weekend?
