Thanks! I was looking through my “dirt in woodpile” file for an article which mentions roommates from Oxy and some of those who were around when he first went to NYC, including Saddiq, but I can’t find it right now.
I did find an article with some of his high school classmates mentioned and will include the link here.

Now back to searching my file of over 200 links for the specific article I know I have! IIRC not everyone drank the Jr koolaid and some mentioned how arrogant he was. Not all his dorm mates were impressed with him.

Just read on another thread somewhere an account from some woman who knew him at Oxy and said he was “flirty” but not a “player”. I assume not being a “player” means he wasn’t dating girls.

Sure look like 0bama and Saddiq are sitting awfully close together, just sayin’...

What is he smoking?

Saddiq is still there:

That is odd. Why did that other guy cut crop Saddiq out of the picture and why are they sitting so close? What guys sit that close when there is an entire couch? Very weird picture.
