Rapper SAINt JHN asks Monica Lewinsky to star in his music video after releasing track inspired by her: ‘Do it for the culture’
Rapper SAINt JHN has been enjoying a steady rise to stardom in recent years, with bops like Monica Lewinsky.
And the Brooklyn-born artist (aka Ghetto Lenny) might be planning a collab with the song’s inspiration.
He offered Lewinskly a role in the music video for the track that she inspired, from his second studio album Ghetto Lenny’s Love Songs, which dropped last August.

It all started when one fan tweeted: ‘As much as I’ve been playing @SAINtJHN on repeat, I hope @MonicaLewinsky is getting royalties for this song. #EarWorm’
Lewinsky, 46, appears to be familiar with the track, as she reposted the tweet with her response: ‘Oh, how i wish i did!’
That’s when SAINt JHN (real name Carlos St. John) offered the political figure: ‘Text me I’ll put you in the video.’
