Saint Levant Represents Palestine, Raps in 3 Languages & is Thankful for His TikTok Success

After going viral on TikTok with a clip of his song “Very Few Friends,” Saint Levant has quickly become a certified Internet Boyfriend.
Harper’s BAZAAR sat down with the trilingual rapper to discuss his musical influences, which include Aaliyah and Timbaland, and his passion for activism. Plus, we try to get a little personal with the musician.
Watch Saint Levant go into detail on himself in Harper’s BAZAAR’s new series “All About Me.”

I’m surprised that Harpers Bazaar let him speak freely about what is really going on in Palestine. Kudos to you HP and for the interview. People like him are the future 💜

[@carolgaribay]

Exactly. I had to look twice to see the name of the channel.

[@CarlaAcosta-rc6os]

This was 2023 beginning before the genocide began.

[@miatarraf3414]

@@CarlaAcosta-rc6os it doesn’t matter. No one got away with saying this out loud on a major channel before Oct 7th either.

[@CarlaAcostaCAAV]

Yes it's true 🙏🏻🙌🏻 that is why so many people didn't knew much about the resistance that has been going on for so many years. Great to have him ❤️

[@couquttegirl]

i just love how someone like him who lives in usa and is Palestinian didnt let the fame change or affect his love to gaza and palestine all respect

[@BaileyDerby]

Bravo, Harper's Bazar for giving this man a platform to freely talk about Palestine

His mum is French with algerians roots. That is also beautiful. He actually really looks like an algerian from north algeria (Kabyle/chaoui)

[@darryn2026]

Besides him being so outspoken, I just LOVE seeing small imperfections on his face. In a time when everyone is under façades, it's so refreshing!

Wallahi I’m so excited to finally see some Arab representation in the mainstream media. wish him the best

[@lous.1548]

well with his latest collaboration with Mia khalifa , I am not sure he does represent the arab world , or do we worship girls that sell their bodies ( not even talking about the other subjects that she bring to the table ....) . Actually yes , the modern arab world tend to respect more women that sell their body to succeed ... great for us girls that have succeeded by working hard

[@ninabarakat6200]

@@lous.1548 you have no idea what you’re talking about. criticize the patriarchy and not the victims of it. you’re hateful towards your own kind and it’s embarrassing to see
