Roddy Ricch Offers His Take On The Saweetie Dating Rumors After They Sat Courtside At The Lakers Game
Celebrity dating rumors are in no way a new thing, but in recent years, with the advent of social media, they’ve managed to get a little out of control. Case in point: Lots of people are way too invested in the love lives of rappers like Saweetie, whom they’ve connected to an extensive list of potential beaus based on Instagram posts and trending Twitter pics since she announced her split with Quavo on Twitter in March of this year.
One of those potential suitors was Compton rapper Roddy Ricch, with whom Saweetie was photographed recently at a Lakers game. The two rappers were sitting in neighboring courtside seats, and in the usual fashion, the rumor mill quickly connected the two as fans speculated that Roddy and Saweetie were getting close. Saweetie herself shot down the speculation almost as quickly as it sprung up, joking on Twitter, “So avoid sitting next to men in public places otherwise the world assumes y’all are dating … got it.”
Today, it was Roddy’s turn to make a similar joke as he appeared on LA’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood radio show to promote his new album Live Life Fast. “For all the females out there: stop sitting by me next to the game,” he cracked. “I was sitting down first.”
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that either rapper’s response was able to put much of a dent in the public’s hunger for celebrity gossip; Saweetie was recently connected with Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, prompting him to reply that he’s single and Quavo to suggest a swap.

Roddy Ricch Is A High-Powered Businessman In His Luxurious ’25 Million’ Video
Roddy Ricch has come a long way since roaming the streets of Compton looking to get into trouble. In the video for “25 Million,” the latest single from his new album, Live Life Fast, he illustrates this literally, albeit with his tongue firmly in cheek. The video represents Roddy as a high-powered businessman at what looks to be a successful finance or legal firm. However, as he struts through the office in his three-piece suit, it becomes clear that he’s put his own irreverent twist on workplace culture, with strippers twerking on the copy machines and conference room tables.
Later in the video, he leaves the office and boards a yacht, where he gets his hair cut by a woman in a bikini before hosting a lavish boat party — one where he appears to be the only man in attendance. This is Roddy’s version of the good life, and it looks like he’s living it to the fullest.
Live Last Fast album, which includes appearances from 21 Savage, Alex Isley, Bibi Bourelly, Fivio Foreign, Future, Gunna, Jamie Foxx, Kodak Black, Lil Baby, Takeoff, and Ty Dolla Sign, is out now via Atlantic Records. You can get it here and watch the “25 Million” video above.
Roddy Ricch And Lil Baby Are Unapologetic About Their Boss Statuses On ‘Moved To Miami’
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Roddy Ricch as an artist, it’s that he’s not one to rush the process in order to release music. It’s been two years since we received a project from the Compton native, with his last effort being his chart-topping debut Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. Thankfully, the wait for a new project from Roddy is over as he’s back in action with his sophomore album, Live Life Fast. It presents 18 songs and features from some of the industry’s most talented names including Lil Baby who stands beside him on “Moved To Miami.”
The song is a bass-heavy number that sees both rappers speaking about the things in their lives that make them bosses. From their luxury cars to their ability to take care of familiar, Roddy and Lil Baby and relentless with the flexing. In addition to Lil Baby, Live Life Fast also features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Alex Isley, Bibi Bourelly, Fivio Foreign, Future, Gunna, Jamie Foxx, Kodak Black, Takeoff, and Ty Dolla Sign.
Roddy’s collaboration with Lil Baby also arrives after he earned the first diamond single of his career with “The Box.” Back in 2020, the song spent eleven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in what was one of the more dominating chart performances by a track in recent history.
You can listen to “Moved To Miami” in the video above.

Roddy Ricch Unveils The Tracklist For His Sophomore Album, ‘Live Life Fast’
After more than two years, Roddy Ricch is finally delivering a new album with his upcoming project Live Life Fast.

Roddy Ricch Unveils The Intro For His Upcoming ‘Live Life Fast’ Album With A Cinematic New Trailer
For the better part of a year, Roddy Ricch has left his fans wondering when the Compton rapper would deliver his sophomore album. His debut Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial was met with rave reviews while also spending multiple weeks at No. 1. The project, which boasted features from Gunna, Lil Durk, Meek Mill, Ty Dolla Sign, and more, took home multiple awards like Hip-Hop Album Of The Year at the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards and Album Of The Year at 2020 BET Awards. That’s all in the past now as Roddy gears up to drop album No. 2, Live Life Fast, next week. Ahead of its release, he returns with the album’s intro track.
The track, which features vocals from Ty Dolla Sign, arrives with a video that sees Roddy telling an eerie story of how he was once told that the goal in life “was to have fast money, fast b*tches, and fast cars.” Roddy then dives into the harsh consequences of this lifestyle and what he’s learned from them. As he speaks, Roddy is then accompanied by a woman who joins him in a leather large and seemingly expensive mansion.
Roddy shared the trailer after taking Gunna and Future’s “Too Easy” for a new remix.
