Never underestimate the passion of Carlos Santana fans.
That point was underscored, once again, after a tweet referred to the legendary Bay Area guitarist as “that dude,” coming across as completely oblivious to all that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has accomplished in his 50-plus years in the music business.
The tweet from WorldStarHipHop (WSHH) fans was in reference to Santana appearing on the song “Mamacita” with YG and Tyga.
“Shout out to YG and TYGA for putting this dude Santana on (fire emoji).”

The tweet caused an uproar on Twitter, with many fans feeling that their hero had not been shown the proper respect. That’s understandable, given that Santana has long been one of the biggest rock stars on the planet.
Earlier this year, he performed a sold-out show at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View. See photos from that show, plus read our review, here.
Here are some of the many irate responses:
