With his undeniable charisma, sharp fashion sense, and natural presence on the mic, it didnt take long for fans to draw parallels between Saints and The Great One.
But Saints isnt trying to be The Rockhes making it clear that hes his own man. Speaking on Busted Open After Dark, Saints addressed the chatter, calling the comparisons endearing but reminding fans not to overlook who he really is.
People love comparisons, right? And comparison is the thief of joy. You miss out on me fully if you do that. Its a great comparison, and people think that Im trying to do this thing and no, I always say, if anything, Im taking from the people of New Orleans. This is just who I am, if you talk to me off camera, this is just who I am.
