Tiagz heard about it from Santa Ana in person. In a clip Juice Unlocked posted Jan. 4, 2026, a local resident walks up and presses him over comments about the city that had been going around online.
Tiagz does not dodge it. "I'm actually glad you brought it up," he says, and starts to explain.
What was said
The comments came up while they were streaming, Tiagz says in the video. Some people took them to mean his crew didn't respect Santa Ana. Asked what he heard, the resident says it was "the same old kind of stuff" and that the city was described as "low income."
Tiagz says the moment "got brought out of context" and that people were "affiliating me with him," pointing to another person on the stream. He says clippers skipped what the crew did for the city and only posted "that negative part."
Then he turns the conversation to downtown Santa Ana. He names several spots there and tells people to go "show some love." He also says the crew gave back during its visit: "We were giving money."
“I'm actually glad you brought it up.”
The local's point
The resident's message is simple: when you come through a city, you don't know what the people there are dealing with. He calls the people who work there "hard working people too" and says that anywhere you go, "you gotta show love and represent."
The exchange stays friendly, with both men smiling in frames from the clip.
“It got brought out of context.”
The conversation
Juice Unlocked's caption said Tiagz "backpedaled, saying he supports Santa Ana," and that the moment sparked conversation about respect, accountability and speaking on communities you don't live in. The post drew 2,457 likes and 189 comments.
“These are hard working people too.”
