Tiagz and Flamez say they love Santa Ana after backlash over city comments

This 74-second clip is split screen. On the left is a still of Santa Ana's lit-up water tower. On the right, Tiagz and Flamez talk to the camera in a studio with blue LED lights, speakers and monitors. One wears a gray quarter-zip and a black head wrap; the other wears a black jacket, a white tee and a chain. They take turns: a joking "apology," a denial that they trashed the city, jokes about the free Santa Ana show and a list of what they love about Santa Ana, before a quick nod to Anaheim and Disneyland.

Tiagz and Flamez have a message for Santa Ana. After facing backlash for allegedly disrespecting the city, the pair posted a video response that Juice Unlocked shared Dec. 31, 2025.

It isn't a straight apology. One of them opens with a joke version, saying sorry "for nothing" because he likes Santa Ana that much. Then they get into it.

What they said

One of them calls the talk that they were trashing the city "conspiracy theories." He says he's Canadian and adds, "I don't know nothing." But he says Santa Ana "treated me like family" and points out that they performed there.

He calls it a "free show," and the two trade jokes on camera about whether they got paid. Then comes the correction: "We didn't get paid. But it's all good, because we would do it again anyway."

Later in the clip, one of them tells chat that people are "tripping" and says his child's mother is from Santa Ana. Then he lists what he loves: "Santa Ana has the best tacos, has the best tortas, has the best entertainment, has the best everything." The clip ends with a nod to Anaheim and Disneyland.

“Santa Ana treated me like family. We even performed there.”

Did it land?

Juice Unlocked asked readers whether they accept the apology. The post drew 1,515 likes and 314 comments.

It wasn't the end of it. On Jan. 4, 2026, Juice Unlocked posted a second clip in which a local resident pressed Tiagz directly over the comments.

“We didn't get paid. But it's all good, because we would do it again anyway.”

“Santa Ana has the best tacos, has the best tortas, has the best entertainment, has the best everything.”
