Baba Saad was born in Beirut, Lebanon, but emigrated to Syke in northern Germany in 1994.
In early 2005, Saad was featured alongside Bushido in the joint album Carlo Cokxxx Nutten 2.
In March 2011, he joined newcomer Haftbefehl at a concert and announced after the performance that he had left ersguterjunge.
But just a few months after signing the rappers Dú Maroc and SadiQ, Saad announced that he couldn't focus on the label at the moment because of a stroke of fate that caused him to move back to Lebanon.
After his return to Germany in 2013—Dú Maroc and SadiQ had meanwhile been dropped by the label—Saad continued both his career and the label management, signing EstA and Punch Arogunz.
