“Love & Hip Hop: New York” television personality Cyn Santana is living her best life and glowing in a new fashion post. The 28-year-old Washington Heights native took to Instagram on Saturday, Jan. 16, and uploaded a photo of herself in a brown loungewear two-piece.

“Lounge, but make it cuuuteeee,” Santana captioned the photo of her chilling on the couch and smiling.

Speaking of positive energy, the “Redirected Energy” songstress kicked off the new year with good vibes. On Jan. 4, Santana posted a series of slides discussing the importance of time and energy.

“HOLDUP!!!! No more devoting your time to the small stuff!” she captioned the post. “We got things we need to accomplish. Now go download my EP ‘Redirected Energy’ and start working on your vision board ✨.”

On the first slide, Santana wrote in part: “Let go of things that disturb your peace and do not serve you.”

On the second slide, Santana noted that this year, there would be “no more arguing with people over nonsense. No more begging people to be in your life.”

Santana could be referring to last year’s madness when an audio leaked online of her and her son Lexington Budden’s father, podcaster Joe Budden of “The Joe Budden Podcast,” talking.

“Everything that we’re discussing, I swear it would go so much different if you and I could talk,” said Budden in the audio.

Santana hinted that Budden abused her, saying, “Oh, you mean in person so you can chase me again and drag me? I’m good.”

Budden denied abusing her, and Santana addressed the audiotape leaking.

“For my privacy to be completely violated for the privacy of my family, and to have my son in the middle of all of this, absolutely not,” she said in the Instagram video. “And to the bum-ass b–ch that leaked this, I’m not going to worry too much about you, baby, you don’t move nothing over here.”

Now it seems that Santana’s primary focus is raising her son and releasing music, all while looking “cute.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
