“Lmao that’s crazy”: Internet reacts as Robert Greene’s post with Saweetie resurfaces amid ongoing controversy 

Robert Greene’s old post featuring rapper Saweetie has resurfaced on social media amid her ongoing controversy. The post, originally shared on December 8, 2019, shows the author and the rapper dining together. Greene called Saweetie a “brilliant new friend” and praised her work in the caption. At the time, the post was seen as a casual moment between two public figures discussing creativity and ambition.

However, in light of the current allegations surrounding Saweetie, the post has resurfaced on various online platforms. Many users are bringing it up as part of a larger conversation about her image and past professional associations. The resurfaced image has led to renewed discussions about Saweetie’s past collaborations and public relationships.

The renewed interest also connects to a 2019 appearance by Greene on Saweetie’s online show, Icy University, where they talked about social media and power dynamics. That conversation has been revisited as fans and followers look back at how their professional exchange reflected Saweetie’s interest in strategy and image management.

Robert Greene's 2019 Post with Saweetie and its context

Robert Greene, known for writing books like The 48 Laws of Power, shared the post with Saweetie in late 2019. In the photo, they were seated at a restaurant, appearing friendly and engaged in conversation. Greene’s caption at the time expressed admiration for Saweetie’s mindset and her creative approach to building her career.

At that time, Saweetie was gaining momentum in the music industry following hits like “My Type.” Her collaboration with Greene drew attention because his work often explores human behavior, influence, and control topics that Saweetie later discussed in her brand-building interviews. Their interaction reflected a meeting between a successful author and a rising artist, both driven by ambition and a desire for influence.

The post did not receive much controversy when it was first shared. It was seen more as a professional connection rather than a personal one. But as it resurfaces now, social media users are analyzing it in a different light, given the current scrutiny surrounding Saweetie.
