Saudi Flips The Script On Self-Belief: “Don’t Believe in Yourself.” While the world keeps echoing the age-old mantra “Believe in yourself,” Saudi is out here rewriting the whole book on success.
The Soweto-born rapper, known for weaving raw emotion and hard-earned wisdom into his bars, took to X recently with a post that sent shockwaves across timelines and group chats alike:
“Believing in yourself is a disadvantage if you’re trying to do what it takes to succeed. Don’t believe in yourself, believe in God and greatness that’s yet to be.”
In a digital age hooked on self-love, TED Talks and affirmation-heavy influencers, Saudi’s post landed like a plot twist in the self-help saga. For the famed rapper, this wasn’t just a hot take. It’s a philosophy shaped by his uphill journey from the gritty corners of Soweto to the global hip-hop stage. To him, success isn’t about hyping yourself up—it’s about surrendering to something bigger and chasing a vision that outpaces your ego.
In a country where young people often face stacked odds—economic inequality, unemployment, and the silent weight of broken systems—Saudi’s message hits differently. It’s not just motivational fluff; it’s a challenge to dream beyond the mirror.
