In an interview Saul Williams said that Kayne West is the only person for whom he had ghostwrote. He said that he ghostwrote the song “Love Lockdown”. Williams did not write the song all by himself, he says that he wrote a few verses and just added to a basic idea that Kanye had already created.

   Saul Williams says that Kayne is interested not only in Williams’ writing but also in his stage performances.  Saul also revealed that Kayne is the only person who has approached him on many levels and is genuinely interested in his work.

  Now let’s talk about Saul’s personal life which is very interesting to hear about. Saul started a relationship with Marcia Jones in 1995 and they gave birth to a child, Saturn in 1996.

On 2008 on his birthday February 29, Williams married actress Persia White who had been his girlfriend for 5 years. On January 17, 2009 Persia declared through her Myspace Blog that she and Williams were no longer together.

 One of the wonderful quotes of Saul Williams is “My love is my soul’s imagination…how do I love you...  imagine”.

In an interview, Williams explained why he creates within so many genres.

 "It's not that I balance those arts out, all the different arts balance me out. So, that there is a certain type of emotion that is more easily accessible through music than poetry... some things are meant to be written, some are meant to be sung, some things are meant to be hummed, some things are made to be yelled, and so that's just how life works,” he said.

Some of Williams’ noted works are: List of Demands, Black Stacey, NiggyTardust!, Tao of Now.

 Williams had his European tour in summer 2005 and performed for Nine Inch Nails and The Mars Volta, mostly as a backing vocalist. Saul was invited to Chicago to take part in the Lollapalooza music festival. He also toured around North America supporting Nine Inch Nails. Even as a poet, William has toured many countries across the world lecturing in many colleges and universities.

   Williams work has been published in the New York Times, Esquire, Bomb Magazine, and African Voices as a writer.

The lyrics of his own song The List of demands was written by himself.

He has an estimated net worth of $500 thousand.
