‘Dumber Than I Thought’: ‘LHHNY’ Fans Slam Cyn Santana for Trying to Reconcile With Joe Budden After He Moves Like a ‘Single’ Man

It looks like Cyn Santana is the latest “Love and Hip Hop: New York” cast mate under fire this week.

In a teaser for next Monday’s episode, Santana went off on her ex-fiancé Joe Budden after attempting to repair their relationship. Last year, the couple called it quits after the 27-year-old model supposedly caught him being unfaithful. Earlier during the season, she claimed she found explicit images in Budden’s cellphone, which he denied.

However, during the Feb. 17 episode, Budden and Santana showed up at Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels‘ baby shower together. The pair shocked fans when they arrived holding hands and booed up. Santana claimed she and Budden weren’t officially back together, but it seemed they were moving in that direction.

“It’s no secret that we love each other,” said Santana. “I love Joe and I believe that he loves me too. I’m just kind of going with the flow a little bit.”

The former “Pump It Up” rapper also added in his confessional, “I’m not putting a title to whatever it is Cyn and I are doing ’cause it’s a hell of a lot better than just screaming at Joe.” Although things between the pair seemed hunky-dory, their relationship once again took a turn left.

In a teaser for the March 2 episode, Santana confronted Budden about reconciling their love and slammed him for still living his life as a “single” man.

“It don’t seem like you’re serious about this relationship,” the mother of one said to Budden. “When I turn my back you’re still moving like a single 40-year-old f–king bum ass baby daddy.”

Several “LHHNY” viewers slammed Santana for scolding Budden for apparently moving on from her.

“Is Joe not single tho? You packed your sh-t and left, he can do what he wants.”

“I thought they broke up. She mad he not chasing her ass, so now he’s a bum ass baby daddy. The same man you was just bragging bout.”

“Tahiry don’t want him! As for dumb ass Cyn joe was literally ALL of that before and when you Met him so stop.😂”

“Cyn is dumber than I thought! The nigga is SINGLE! And a man’s actions speaks VOLUMES! He show he doesn’t want you … HE DOESN’T WANT YOU!!!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
