In this episode, Pour Minds hosts Lex P and Drea Nicole welcomed none other than Saucy Santana for a lively and revealing conversation. The social media star turned rapper delved into his rise to fame, personal experiences, and cultural influence while offering candid takes on various hot topics—from karma and LGBTQ+ representation to the Diddy-Caresha controversy.
While Santana is now a household name, he shared that rapping wasn’t part of his original plan. Known for his witty personality, he unexpectedly stumbled into music when a podcast theme song he created went viral on SoundCloud. Riding that momentum, he released “Walk Him Like a Dog” in 2019, which amassed a million streams in just seven days. Beyond his solo career, Santana has also showcased his songwriting skills by penning verses for artist Kisha, specifically mentioning her hit track “Shea.”
Santana’s close friendship with Kisha has become a fan-favorite aspect of his social media presence. The duo often goes live, sharing spontaneous moments that have created numerous viral catchphrases. Despite their online antics, Santana noted that they are mindful of what they broadcast, drawing a line between public content and private conversations.
To keep things lighthearted, the group played their signature drinking game, Rea Roulette, during which Santana shared personal stories about relationships, dating, and memorable encounters. The hosts teased an updated version of the game, set to launch soon. A highlight of the evening was the bartender-curated drinks—Santana enjoyed an elevated strawberry margarita with edible glitter, while the hosts sipped on a Material Girl cocktail, blending various spirits, raspberry liqueur, lime juice, cinnamon, and hibiscus.
One of the more serious discussions revolved around karma—whether it’s real or just a product of life’s unpredictable nature. Santana opened up about his own experiences with consequences and reflected on the blurred line between survival-driven actions and malicious intent.
Santana also recounted his time on College Hill, a reality show filmed in New Orleans. He described the unique experience of living in a house with other students for 30 days, which was later edited into eight episodes. Although he often missed morning classes due to late-night clubbing, Santana explained that it reflected the reality of students who, after growing up under strict rules, find freedom in college. Despite the producers allegedly stirring up drama, he revealed that the cast got along well behind the scenes.
The conversation shifted to Santana’s brief tension with Claudia, sparked by comments she made about a viral pride event clip. After a real conversation, they were able to resolve their differences, and Santana now speaks positively of their relationship.
Santana and the hosts delved into the undeniable influence of LGBTQ+ culture on mainstream trends—ranging from fashion and makeup to popular slang. Santana highlighted how terms and aesthetics originating from LGBTQ+ communities have been widely adopted by artists like Moneybagg Yo and beyond.
The trio touched on a more nuanced topic: LGBTQ+ representation in children’s media. Santana explained that while he fully supports representation, he believes that children should be allowed to mature naturally without being exposed to overly adult themes. He emphasized unconditional love for his future child while acknowledging the potential hardships LGBTQ+ individuals face.
As the conversation continued, they reflected on how social media has amplified societal pressures for today’s youth. Santana recalled a time when life was simpler—when people weren’t fixated on luxury lifestyles or designer brands, but instead focused on enjoying themselves. They laughed about past fashion choices, reminiscing about carefree nights and bold style statements.
In a humorous and relatable segment, they discussed the phenomenon of “bad men”—attractive guys who act as if they’re the prize in relationships. Santana shared how his approach to dating evolved, moving from taking relationships too seriously to setting firm boundaries. They wrapped up the topic by joking about the importance of self-respect, knowing when to walk away from toxic partners and so much more.
