OC TikToker wants apology from Tiagz and Flames over Santa Ana 'low income' remark

The post is a carousel with a cover graphic and two clips. The first, about 50 seconds, is stream footage shot at night on a crowded sidewalk with bars and a burrito stand: the TikToker shakes hands with a streamer in a patterned cap and introduces himself as a Santa Ana native. After he leaves, the streamer talks to the camera about the crowd and the area being uncomfortable, and the clip ends with a shirtless man doing burpees on the sidewalk. The second, about 56 seconds, is a selfie video of the TikToker explaining why the "low income" comment bothered him and asking for an apology.

An Orange County TikToker known for his burpee workouts called on livestreamers Tiagz and Flames to apologize after Santa Ana was labeled "low income" during one of their streams, Juice Unlocked reported Dec. 30, 2025.

He said the comment was disrespectful to the city and to the people who represent it every day.

What the stream shows

The stream footage was shot at night on a busy sidewalk lined with storefronts. The TikToker walks up, shakes hands and introduces himself, saying he represents Orange County and grew up in Santa Ana.

After he walks away, a voice on the stream tells viewers, "You got like some low-income activity," and says he feels uncomfortable with so many people around. The clip ends with a shirtless man doing burpees and push-ups on the sidewalk as the crowd watches.

“I just wanted to come out here and talk about these guys that they do live streams on Kick.”

His response

In a selfie video recorded outside, the TikToker said he did not hear the remark in person and only caught it later while watching the videos. He said the reaction to him introducing himself did not bother him. Hearing Santa Ana called low income did.

He said he did not know whether the streamers meant it or were faking it for the stream. He asked people from Santa Ana and Orange County to comment and share the video, and said he thinks the streamers owe an apology to the city and the county.

“All my people from Orange County or from Santa Ana, Santaneros, you already know.”
