‘Still Want Joe Budden’s Attention I See ‘: Cyn Santana Fans Concerned After She Posts New Video

It seems social media won’t let Cyn Santana be great without always mentioning her ex-fiancé Joe Budden.

On Friday, Jan 3, the 27-year-old mother took to Instagram and uploaded a video of herself twerking for her three million followers. Wearing a crop top and curve-hugging jeans, Santana started gyrating and shaking her derriere toward the camera.

“Always pass da twerk in them jeans test 😏 Happy Friday my loves!!!! 🦄🤞🏽💕,” she captioned her post.

Fans instantly slapped down the video and claimed she was trying to capture her ex’s attention.

“Still want Joe Budden’s attention I see 🤦🏾‍♂️”

“Joe made u a baby mama. Way to go. Glad he catered to you. He don’t want you no more sis!”

“Yo Joe come get her please 🙄🙄, she’s doing way too much for attention”

” @joebudden get ya girl she actin up on IG dog”

Santana’s twerking video comes weeks after she and Budden were spotted getting cozy together at their son’s second birthday party.

Not to mention they were also spotted watching the premiere of “Love and Hip Hop: New York” together at a friend’s house. And a few weeks before that, on Nov. 24, the pair sparked rumors they were back together when Budden posted photos of himself and Santana attending Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena’s baby shower.

They were seen holding hands in a video. But neither confirmed or denied their relationship.

Santana and Joe welcomed their son on Dec. 15, 2017, a year before getting engaged. However, they called off their engagement sometime last year after infidelity rumors surrounded them. They now seem to be co-parenting.

Amid their co-parenting efforts, a few folks are hoping the former couple will rekindle their relationship sometime soon.

“R y’all back together? I hope so! I love you two together 👑😘 Happy New Year!” one fan wrote on Jan. 4.

Another added, “Family pic is the best the happiness in that you I really hope they can work it out💞.”

A third wrote, “Of course all the love from the family is always the best key ingredient #familylove Can you guys just get back together please? ❤️ you two are made for each other”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
