Just when you thought his trophy case couldn’t get any more crowded, Santana XXL is making room for another potential win. After taking home the coveted Gay Performer of the Year award at the 2024 Urban X Awards, the powerhouse performer has officially been nominated for the exact same title for 2025. It’s the kind of back-to-back recognition that turns a rising star into a reigning legend.
The news, first reported by AVN, confirms Santana’s incredible momentum in the industry over the past year. For the man himself, the nomination is more than just another accolade; it’s a sign that his hard work is paying off in a big way.
“It’s an honor to be recognized again,” Santana XXL shared. “Winning last year was a dream—being nominated back-to-back is proof I’m just getting started.”
A Year of Dominance
Santana’s nomination isn’t exactly a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. His 2024 was nothing short of spectacular, marked by standout scenes and a commanding presence that has captivated audiences and critics alike. Beyond his win at last year’s Urban X Awards, he also picked up a 2024 Grabby Award for “Hottest Cock,” cementing his status as one of the gay industry’s most celebrated talents.
Fans on social media have been buzzing since the announcement, flooding his profiles with congratulations. The consensus is clear: this nomination is well-deserved. Over on his X account, followers are cheering him on, celebrating his consistent delivery of top-tier performances and his undeniable star power.
Why the Urban X Awards Matter
A nomination at the Urban X Awards carries a special weight. Founded in 2008, the show was specifically created to honor performers of color, who have historically been underrepresented by mainstream industry awards. It’s a platform that celebrates diversity, talent, and excellence within the urban and ethnic genres, making a win here a particularly meaningful achievement.
For Santana XXL, a second consecutive nomination underscores his impact not just as a performer, but as a leading figure in a vital and vibrant segment of the adult entertainment world. It proves that his initial win wasn’t a fluke but the start of a new chapter.
What’s Next for the Champ?
With the awards ceremony on the horizon, all eyes will be on Santana to see if he can pull off a repeat victory. But win or lose, one thing is certain: he isn’t slowing down. As his own words suggest, this is just the beginning.
His confident closing thought says it all:
“…being nominated back-to-back is proof I’m just getting started.”
