It appears that Juelz Santana was involved in a scary car crash. The Dipset rapper posted a photo on his Instagram Story on Monday, Jan. 12, of his face, showing serious scrapes and bruises across his nose and cheek. The image sparked concerns — though Santana didn’t elaborate on what happened. 

Santana simply wrote “car crash” over the image with a few emojis. He didn’t share any further details, though he seemed to indicate that he’s doing okay. 

He followed the post with other stories, with messages like “People Forget Soooo Fast” and “Tables Turn Faster Then U Think.”

In late 2025, Joe Budden made headlines for his controversial take on childhood education. During an appearance on the No Funny Shit podcast, Santana shot down the idea that kids need to focus on literacy. 

"By the time they get to ninth grade they should be learning how to start businesses," Santana said, adding, "But they don't really need to learn how to read.

After some pushback, the Harlem rapper elaborated. 

"You could listen to a book on YouTube. You can still obtain the information. You don't have to know how to read... I believe common sense is better than everything.”

Santana pointed out that there are apps available for people to review contracts. 

"Reading is just when people want to embarrass you and try to play you... or, 'You can't read your contract.' Anybody who said you can't read your contract, they didn't read their contract," Santana continued. "They had a lawyer read their contract. They just saying it to be funny."
