SAINt JHN Shares Hilarious Yet Meaningful Advice JAY-Z Gave Him

SAINt JHN has revealed the weirdest yet most helpful advice he received from JAY-Z while visiting the Roc Nation offices in Los Angeles.

During his conversation with Little Engine Media's PLLRS show, the Brooklyn rapper recalled a hilarious interaction with Hov that had him think deeply about how he should go about life. According to JHN, he's a "rebellious artist," and the only way to succeed in a world where things seem out of control is to stand firm in what you believe in. An interaction with Jay helped JHN fully understand that.

"One day, we're at the Roc Nation office with Jay and Emory, and some other people. Biggs pulled me to the side and said, 'Yo, Jay. Talk to him. Give him some Jay wisdom,'" JHN recalled. "Then Jay says, 'Yo, sometimes you have to brush your teeth with the other hand. You have to put on your pants with the other foot first sometimes.' It's Jay so you have to be like, 'I don't know what that means, but it sounds fly.'"

JHN continued, "When you've been around the sun a couple of times, you can get what seems like lofty advice, until you realize someone is trying to tell you that you have to be willing to trust a different process."

SAINt JHN is fresh off the release of his latest album titled FEStIVAL SEASON. The 18-track effort features songs like "Circles" and "Glitchin'." Elsewhere in his conversation with PLLRS, JHN expressed how his mental health played a pivotal role on the song "Body on Me."

"The greater you become in visibility, the less human you become [to people] in real life," said JHN. "When I'm at home in Puerto Rico, by myself and at seven o'clock in the morning, or nine o'clock at night, and I just finished working, and I look around the room, and it's just the people I hired to be there, it's tough," he said. "That's the challenge. I set myself on that path. But the challenge is nobody's going to feel sad for me. Nobody wants to hear a rich n***a cry."
