A claim is circulating online that Carlos Santana has cancelled his Netflix subscription due to the platform’s LGBTQ+ content, and this has led to discussion. If you’ve come across this claim or are curious about it, here’s what you need to know.
As the world’s leading streaming service, Netflix has faced its share of criticism. Recent issues include its efforts to stop password sharing and concerns that focusing on releasing a lot of content, rather than high-quality shows and movies, is impacting television as a whole.
However, this week the brand found itself connected to a surprising and serious claim involving Carlos Santana, the famous guitarist and founder of the band Santana.
A claim circulating online says Carlos Santana left a Netflix documentary about his life because of a disagreement over LGBTQ+ content. This is false.
Did Carlos Santana ‘cancel Netflix’ after movie controversy?
Reports that Carlos Santana has ended his relationship with Netflix are false. He is not currently working with the streaming service on any projects, including a documentary.

If you believed it was real, it’s likely because the original post seemed genuine. This happened earlier this week when a social media user named ScottyTheKid shared an image on Instagram showing what looked like a comment from Santana on X (formerly Twitter).
The post claims Carlos Santana asked Netflix to remove his scenes from a film because he wants to distance himself from the project. However, this is fake – Santana never actually said this. It’s a fabricated quote shared with a made-up post by someone named ScottyTheKid.
In addition, an Instagram user posted that Carlos Santana has asked Netflix to remove all of his footage from an upcoming documentary about his life and career, following his latest tour.
A famous guitarist who has won Grammy awards has announced he’s ending his subscription to Netflix. He says this is because the streaming service is releasing movies for children with LGBTQ+ themes without giving parents the option to restrict what their kids see.
Sources say Santana is very disappointed and feels the platform has lost its sense of right and wrong.
Santana explained that while he supports love, he also feels strongly about safeguarding children. He believes there’s a clear line between creative expression and potentially harming young people with confusing messages.
The announcement immediately caused a heated discussion online. While some people applauded Santana for staying true to his principles, others faulted him for being seen as either ‘too extreme’ or ‘too traditional’.
People may disagree about his work, but it’s clear that when Carlos Santana shares his thoughts, the music industry pays attention.
Despite being completely made up, this news story has tricked a lot of people online, racking up over 9,300 likes and numerous shares. People responded with heartfelt messages, like “God bless him,” and “I’ve always loved Carlos, and now I love him even more.”
Someone mentioned they’d be playing a lot of Santana music from their store for the next week, and another person praised Carlos Santana’s bravery. It seems like people are unaware of recent news about him… who’s going to break it to them?
Fake Santana post comes after Dead End: Paranormal Park saga
This fabricated news about Santana appears as the streaming service is increasingly focusing on inclusive stories, featuring shows and movies about LGBTQ+ individuals, growing up, and exploring gender identity.
These shows and movies are frequently celebrated for their diverse representation and for giving visibility to different groups. However, they also attract criticism from conservative commentators who accuse them of pushing a progressive, or “woke,” ideology.
Things escalated earlier this month when Elon Musk advised his followers to cancel their Netflix subscriptions, claiming it was for the well-being of their children.
The recent controversy stemmed from the return of the 2022 animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, which includes a transgender character.
Several other conservative voices also weighed in, including Robby Starbuck, who opposes diversity and inclusion initiatives, and he shared Musk’s request. While the post about Santana is untrue, it’s part of a larger trend of false information spreading about what’s on Netflix.
