Last Wednesday, March 9, Saba’s single named ‘Photosynthesis’ featuring Jean Deaux officially became a gold record!

The song comes from the ‘Bucket List Project‘ (2016), which is the Chicagoan rapper and record producer’s debut studio album. As the album’s title suggests, Saba’s project is about creating a list of wonders to experience before death. More importantly, Saba and collaborators like Deaux, Smino, Joseph Chilliams, etc., emphasize the drive required for checking goals off of our lists. 

“How you lonely in a room with God? Never slow up, not even a pit stop” 

‘Photosynthesis’ is an impactful record. Saba and Deaux rap about the tests and trials of achieving their dreams and their mission to pour their success back into their communities. 

“Try to raise a family with minimum wage, what can I say?  
Besides the demons, it’s reality for the people that we love
And we are the ones that will team up and tee up the party”

Saba expressed his gratitude on social media and rejoiced in his humble beginnings. 

SABA on Twitter: “Man. Photosynthesis just went gold . thank y’all 🌿 that’s crazy. a song we recorded in my grandma basement bout to have a plaque 😤 let’s keep going, more otw pic.twitter.com/ksg85368n8 / Twitter”

Rapper, singer and songwriter Jean Deaux has given special thanks to Saba and the late John Walt for helping her develop her sound. 

Deaux also championed that the project was an independent production, rightfully so!

‘Photosynthesis’ is the second gold record for both artists, following Saba’s ‘Sacrifices‘ and Kehlani’sHoney‘ (co-written by Deaux).

Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawyer, Alex Spiro, addressed the lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion’s former cameraman Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.

According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”

Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.

Saweetie took to social media Tuesday morning that her ex-boyfriend Quavo reached out to her via direct messages, following his mention of her in his latest diss track aimed at Chris Brown, titled “Over Hoes & B-tches.”

In the song, Quavo raps, “I can take a model chick and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” which Saweetie didn’t take lightly. She shared a screenshot from January 2024, showing Quavo’s message on Instagram, which she hadn’t opened. The preview read, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie’s caption for the screenshot humorously suggested she hopes the model Quavo compares to her.



This exchange coincided with Saweetie attending a USC game with Chris Brown.



The history between Saweetie and Quavo dates back to their relationship from 2018 to 2021, which ended amid allegations of infidelity on Quavo’s part. Chris Brown didn’t hesitate to leverage their past relationship in his own diss track, “Weakest Link,” claiming to have been involved with Saweetie while she was still with Quavo.

“You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” he rapped.

Quavo previously dated Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who filed for a restraining order against Brown after their breakup in 2017.
