, which includes features from Rubi Rose, Kali, and BeatKing in addition to the City Girls. Santana caught up with NYLON to talk about the project’s release, how to make a viral hit , and why being yourself is the biggest payoff of all. Rap was never a thing I thought of. Around February, I would do a weekly podcast with some of my friends, and we were just like, "Oh, we need a theme song for the show," and so we went to the studio, we made a theme song, and people just started saying, "Oh, I didn't know that you know how to rap."
So it was just shocking a little bit, because I was like, "Wait, what? I'm really about to be a rapper?" It's just, this don't happen. So it was exciting, it was shocking, I was nervous, but I accomplished a lot in two years. So I'm thankful.The relationship is basically the same. We have a bond like siblings. So we still fight like cats and dogs, still cuss each other out, still support each other. It's just basically the same.
Even nowadays, you just really don't know. In 2019, when I did “Material Girl,” I thought it was a good song. And that's just how we talk in Florida. We say girl with a w. And so I'm just like, "Material gworl!" I had just started fresh being a rapper. So I was ready to live the lavish lifestyle, the designer clothes and the Maybachs and all that. So I made that song, two years later, the song goes viral on TikTok.
But you know, everybody has feelings. If I'm scrolling through my comments and I have a hundred comments being mean...of course you want to take the higher road. And a lot of times I ignore things, because I just always been like that. Even when I just came out being gay younger, I was feminine.
