‘It Ain’t That Serious’: Cyn Santana’s Times Square Photo Derails After She Nearly Gets ‘Hit’

Cyn Santana is getting called on the carpet for doing something extremely dangerous for a picture.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” actress took to Instagram on Thursday and posted a picture of herself dressed in leggings, a t-shirt, earmuffs, pink slippers and a pink fur coat. She stood in the middle of a crosswalk at 7th Avenue and 41st Street in New York’s Times Square as a taxi cab is seen turning toward her.

Clearly feeling herself, Santana captioned her post, “On Wednesdays we wear Pink! ☺️🦄💕”

Fans, however, instantly slapped down her photo.

“Cab trying to make a turn watch out sis. You about to get hit, you in the way 🤦🏽”

“Girl don’t get hit by the cab. No wonder is so much traffic in New York b”

“Some people will do any thing for a pic. It ain’t that serious ma”

“Looking fashionable as always!But Girl hurry up that car is about to hit u 🙄”

Santana is the ex-fiancée of retired rapper and podcaster Joe Budden.

The former couple is currently on “LHHNY,” where fans are witnessing their relationship woes play out on camera. Some folks can’t believe Budden allegedly cheated on Santana.

The 27-year-old model posted a photo of herself nearly two weeks ago that showed off her curves in a tight dress. One fan commented underneath her picture, “@joebudden you really left that?”

Over the past few months, people suspected Santana and Budden had reconciled after they were spotted watching the VH1 series together at a friend’s house. They were also spotted looking quite cozy together at their son Lexington Budden’s second birthday party.

Santana, however, slapped down any assumptions that she and the 38-year-old artist were still together by saying she was still “single.

“This single sh-t is so wack,” she tweeted on Jan. 15. “I am tired of feeding and bathing myself lol.”

Fans instantly sounded off.

“Hang on in there when the time is right you’re King will arrive. God has a plan for you. So just focus on your son he needs you. If you hit rock bottom push through it and be unstoppable,” one fan wrote at the time.

Another added, “Well I’m not gonna type it out … but ummm there’s an easy way to fix that. Lol. Clear things up with Joey”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
