Ice Spice just recently locked down one of the most coveted accolades in the rap industry – a Nicki Minaj feature. It’s hard for the 23-year-old to set her sights much higher than that, but fans are speculating that we may hear her and California native Saweetie on a track together in the near future after seeing them link up at Coachella. East and west coast came together during weekend one it seems, as the “My Type” hitmaker posted a throwback photo dump on Sunday (April 23) reflecting on some of her favourite memories from the desert while the final round of performances unfold today.
Saweetie kicked off today’s Instagram post with a stunning shot of her relaxing in the pool, wearing a white bikini while soaking her legs in the clear blue water. Following that, the 29-year-old let her goofy side shine, including a video of her falling on her behind after attempting to slide on white marble floors in her kitchen. After a brief laughing intermission, fans were pleased to see a mirror selfie of the Icy Girl with the Bronx baddie, who performed at Revolve Festival during last weekend’s Coachella events.
The fashionista later included an image of her dancing the night away in her dump, as well as videos and photos of more of her entertaining antics. We see her walking around Coachella in an adorable pink blanket and sunglasses late in the evening. Afterward, the post closes out with a telling snapshot of her blonde wig haphazardly thrown on the living room floor.
She may not have been on the line-up for the 2023 festival, but that doesn’t mean Saweetie didn’t take the stage. “Lottery” hitmaker Latto tapped her friend to show out during her weekend one set, much to the audience’s pleasure. “IMMA REAL A$$ TRILL A$$ B!XCH FROM THE WESTTT!” the Grammy-nominated artist captioned a video of her giving the performance of a lifetime.

Saweetie has received both positive and negative feedback from her peers in the rap industry. Her first official single, “Icy Girl,” was released in 2017, and it features her rapping over the beat from Khia’s well-known track “My Neck, My Back.” Unfortunately, Khia did not think she did it justice. In December 2022, Saweetie unveiled her most recent EP, THE SINGLE LIFE, which she dubbed her most candid project yet. Fans are still anticipating the release of her first full-length album, Pretty Bitch Music, which was originally scheduled to be released in 2021. Last year, Saweetie promised that the album would be released by the end of 2022, but as of April 2023, there is no official release date.
Although Saweetie is a highly accomplished rapper, success has not come without its difficulties. In the beginning of 2021, a video of her performing an acapella rap went viral on social media, leading to criticism from some who believed that her flow was subpar. Saweetie replied by posting a longer freestyle on her own social media accounts, displaying her rapping talents and silencing her detractors. While she may not be to everyone’s liking, Saweetie remains unbothered by the negativity.
In a new video posted from Coachella, Saweetie is asked by an interviewer what her first performance was. She revealed that her first performance ever was in Istanbul, Turkey, where she was paid $10,000 to perform one song. The interviewer then asks what it was that the rapper spent her big paycheck on, and she replies that she spent it on “some boobs.” The rapper then playfully looks at camera while she grabs her breasts.
Some fans chimed in on the investment, taking to the comment section to give their thoughts. “The 10k was a career investment,” one said. Clearly some people think it was a good idea. Others, however, are not impressed by Saweetie’s look. “How are men still attracted to this version of a female? They all cut copy waste,” another user said. Ouch. What do you think of Saweetie’s investment? Do you think it was money well spent or no? Let us know in the comments!
The rumor mill is buzzing with speculation that rappers YG and Saweetie might be more than just friends. The two were recently spotted at the same restaurant in LA, sparking even more rumors of a possible romance between them. Rapper YG and Saweetie have been fueling dating rumors lately after they were spotted at the […]
Despite not releasing an album yet, Saweetie has absolutely crushed the music scene. The 29-year-old is seven times certified platinum and will likely reap the rewards of her tireless work when Pretty Bitch Music finally drops this year.
However, she has not limited herself to music. Her repertoire includes acting credits in Grown-ish and a cameo appearance on Bel-Air. Beyond that, she has appeared as herself on several big-name shows. These have included being a musical guest on SNL and appearing on Cooking With Paris. But there’s a role, or a genre of role, that Saweetie has her eye on.
Saweetie Wants To Be A DC Villian
Saweetie (@Saweetie) let Metro in on when she’ll finally drop her debut album, after teasing fans for months.https://t.co/w9sx1MaP02
Speaking with Metro in March, Saweetie revealed exactly what sort of acting role she wants to pursue. “I can see myself doing more TV and film projects. I definitely want to be a supervillain in the DC movies. I dressed up as Harley Quinn…I love getting into character and dressing up.” she said. Furthermore, Saweetie’s declaration comes at the perfect time as the DC Cinematic Universe undergoes a significant transformation. In an attempt to move away from the Zach Synder “DC Extended Universe”, James Gunn will launch the “DC Universe” in 2025 with Superman: Legacy. Other films announced for this reboot of a DC shared universe include The Authority, The Brave And The Bold, Supergirl: World Of Tomorrow, and Swamp Thing. There will also be TV projects in the form of Creature Commandos, Waller, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, and Booster Gold.
There are so many fantastic villains and anti-heroes contained within these properties. The Brave And The Bold, based on Grant Morris’ Batman comics, would be the perfect place to introduce Saweetie as Harley Quinn. Alternatively, Saweetie could flex her anti-hero muscles in a role like Bride of Frankenstein, a core member of the Suicide Squad-esque Creature Commandos. Additionally, the Game Of Thrones-esque Paradise Lost is going to need plenty of villains. Overall, there is a wealth of villain roles that are about to become available in the DC Universe. Perhaps we will see Saweetie take up the mantle of one of them.
There were plenty of noteworthy moments to come from Coachella weekend one, and even more are sure to follow in the coming days with the festival’s second and final round. While much of the focus was on the performers – namely headlining acts Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, and Frank Ocean – the celebrities in attendance also caused a stir. Not only did Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet make headlines for failing to officially debut as a couple, but now, YG and Saweetie are also sparking dating rumours.
The two California natives have actually been connected for some time, though they’ve managed to keep their situation lowkey. Saweetie was at YG’s birthday party in March, which is when gossip first began to fly, though no official confirmation came with it. According to @thejasminebrand, they spent their time at Coachella cozying up together, though no photographic evidence has surfaced online quite yet. Seeing as the pair have previously collaborated with Tyga on “Money Mouf” and Mozzy on “In My Face,” it’s not surprising to see them link up romantically.
Does Saweetie Have a New Man?

What is a bit shocking, however, are the rumours that YG gives his Icy Girl a “blank check” every month so she can spend to her heart’s desire. “He apparently has a black card with a ridiculously high credit limit,” AllHipHop alleges. “She’s not there for his money, supposedly,” the outlet added, which makes sense seeing as Saweetie’s got plenty of her own racks.
Prior to this new rumoured romance, Saweetie was briefly linked to both Lil Baby and Damson Idris, though nothing serious ever transpired. Her last long-term high-profile relationship was with Quavo, and many hip-hop heads were sad to see them part ways. As for YG, he and Kehlani spent some time together a few years back, and he also dated Keke Palmer from 2014 to 2015. Revisit one of the alleged couple’s collaborative tracks below, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Latto‘s first-ever Coachella set was an eventful one, as she pulled out all the stops, packing in surprise guests, and even apparently getting in a shot at Nicki Minaj.
Saweetie originally appeared on Latto’s 2019 remix of “Bitch From Da Souf” from Latto’s debut album Queen of Da Souf. Saweetie performed her verse from the song, receiving a huge pop from the crowd when she appeared. She also made it a point to big-up Latto after performing, saying, “She can rap her ass off… Bitch, and you look better than me!”
Meanwhile, Latto used her platform to help out a couple of rap’s rising stars, Lola Brooke and TiaCorine, bringing out the former to perform her signature hit “Don’t Play With It” (Latto appears on the remix) and the latter for a performance of the “FreakyT” remix.

Of course, the attention-getting moment was when Latto performed a new song in which she says the line “she thought I would kiss her ass, she must ain’t took her meds.” Fans have interpreted this as a shot at Minaj, with whom Latto has shared a contentious relationship ever since Nicki denigrated her achievements on Queen radio, leading to a spat on Twitter and a continuing cold war between the two.
“she thought I would kiss her ass, she must ain’t took her meds”
Once again, Saweetie stunned her Instagram followers with some new pictures showing off her body in a red dress. Moreover, she notably doesn’t show her face, leaving herself up to the imagination while still impressing many with her outfit. Furthermore, she included some videos and photos of her walking around in it, ingeniously storing what looks like a Chanel lipstick, and raising a glass for herself. What’s more is that the 29-year-old is still hard at work both finalizing and teasing her debut studio album. While she’s tried to update fans whenever she can, a recent E! News interview illuminated her thought process a little more.
“I feel like a debut album is not something you just put out,” Saweetie remarked as she spoke on Pretty B***h Music and its constant delays. “It’s not something you play with. I’m a Cancer so I like to overthink sometimes, but I think you have to be really careful with that and I take my art really serious. I’ve been through a lot of interesting experiences. So, I wanna put that all into my album in the most artistic and organic way.”
Still, another aspect that the “Icy Girl” grappled with recently is how many have interpreted and perceived her fame. Not only that, it’s especially the case considering her state of origin. While she went through some career ups and downs, she feels as motivated and confident as ever to own a title that she feels she doesn’t deserve to self-proclaim. “I don’t want to self-proclaim the ‘Queen statement,’” Saweetie told Bootleg Kev. “But when I’m in certain cities or certain areas, they’ll just call me this and call me that. I’ve been called the ‘Queen of California’ and many queen things. It’s not something I’m trying to title, that’s why I had another voice say it on my [‘Single Life’] project. I don’t like it when people self-proclaim.”
Meanwhile, Saweetie recently appeared on an episode of the game show “That’s My Jam,” facing off karaoke-style against Will.I.Am. Unsurprisingly, they rapped along to many classic hip-hop tracks and seemed to have a good time. Hopefully the rapper’s next musical output won’t be restricted to a TV show. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Saweetie.
The world of celebrity relationships is always ripe for speculation, especially involving two famous artists from the hip-hop scene. The internet is always buzzing about Saweetie—the star known for her hit song “My Type.” However, there are rumors about her and Offset, a member of the chart-topping group Migos and husband of Cardi B. Saweetie is said to be dating these days; the internet can’t help but bring up her relationship with Quavo, Offset’s groupmate and cousin.
Saweetie-Offset Saga Timeline

Saweetie and Offset were rumored to have a romantic relationship in early 2021. However, both parties denied the rumors and claimed they were just friends. In March 2021, Saweetie announced that she had broken up with her boyfriend, Quavo, after two years of dating. Shortly after the announcement, TMZ posted a video of Quavo and Saweetie getting into a physical altercation in an elevator.
Following the video’s release, rumors circulated that Saweetie had cheated on Quavo with Offset. However, Saweetie and Offset denied the allegations. Despite the denials, fans speculate about the alleged relationship between Saweetie and Offset. Some have even gone as far as to create conspiracy theories about the situation.
Soon after, Quavo’s new album with Takeoff, Only Built For Infinity Links, was released in October 2022, and fans believed that the song “Messy” was Quavo was alluding to an affair. Although Quavo did not mention specific names, many fans believe he was referring to his cousin Offset sleeping with his girlfriend Saweetie, implying that it was the reason behind the Migo’s sudden break up in November 2022.
Cardi B, Offset’s wife, was unusually silent on the matter. The rapping queen has been known to speak out on speculations about her personal life. However, Cardi B explained on The Jason Lee Podcast that she didn’t want to feed into the rumors. “You know why I was quiet?” Cardi asked. “I was quiet because one thing I’m gonna do, I’m gonna find out the truth. And you know that I was finding out that truth.”
What the Parties Have Said (Or Not Said)

So far, neither Saweetie nor Offset has issued a public statement addressing the rumors. Saweetie, who has over 15 million followers on Instagram, has posted on her social media since the scandal broke out. Still, none of them directly refer to Offset or the allegations. Offset has been active on Twitter, but his tweets have not mentioned Saweetie or the rumors. He has retweeted some positive messages from fans and promoted music-related projects. Still, his silence on the topic has fueled speculation that he may be trying to avoid the controversy.
Offset & Quavo Relationship

Offset and Quavo are not only bandmates but also cousins. They grew up together in Georgia and had been making music together for over a decade. Their close relationship is apparent in their music. Their relationship has been the subject of various rumors and controversies. The most recent dispute between the two was during the 2023 Grammys. According to TMZ, the groupmates argued with one another backstage. All this reportedly happened before Quavo went on stage to honor Takeoff, the late third member of Migos, during the “In Memoriam” portion of the Grammys. However, Offset extinguished rumors that he and his fellow Migos member got into an altercation, saying, “What tf look like fighting my brother.”
Saweetie & Quavo

Saweetie and Quavo’s relationship was filled with drama. One of the most controversial moments occurred in March 2021 when a video surfaced online showing the couple in a physical altercation in an elevator. The video sparked outrage and concern among fans, with many calling for Quavo to be held accountable for his actions.
Following the incident, Saweetie released a statement on Twitter, saying that she had endured “too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes.” She also said she was “emotionally checked out” of the relationship. Quavo also addressed the situation, saying that he had never physically abused Saweetie and was disappointed that their private dispute had become public.
Social Media Reactions
The news of Saweetie and Offset’s alleged affair has caused a stir on social media. Some fans have pointed out that the rumors are baseless. It is unfair to attack the artists without concrete evidence. Many support the two, stating that they should be allowed to live without constant scrutiny and criticism.
Saweetie and Will.I.Am go head to head in a new video. In it, they perform a classic rap karaoke showdown. They were both guests on the new competition show, That’s My Jam. The show combines elements of several others, heavily borrowing from shows like Wheel of Fortune and Carpool Karaoke. The four contestants featured on the episode were Saweetie, Keke Palmer, Will.I.Am, and Joel McHale. After being split into two teams by gender, the contestants go up against one another in several one on one battles. When Saweetie and Will.I.Am. stepped up to the mic, the category chosen for them was classic rap. The two performed the songs to varying degrees of success.
Saweetie is the target of both praise and ire within the rap community. She released her first commercial single “Icy Girl” in 2017. The track features the rapper freestyling over the instrumental to Khia’s iconic single, “My Neck, My Back.” Unfortunately, Khia is not a fan of the sample. Back in December 2022, Saweetie released her most recent EP, THE SINGLE LIFE. She called it her most honest project. Fans are still eagerly awaiting the release of her debut full-length album, Pretty Bitch Music. Originally, the album was originally slated to be released in 2021. Last year, Saweetie promised it would be released before the end of 2022, but there is no confirmed release date as of April 2023.
Saweetie Shows No Love For California
During the “Mega Mix Showdown” between Saweetie and Will.I.Am, the duo performs many classic songs over one beat. Some of the songs they take on are DMX’s “Party Up,” Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day,” The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize,” and OutKast’s “Ms. Jackson.” However, when the time comes for Saweetie to rap Tupac’s legendary “California Love,” she seems not to know the lyrics. This is notable considering that the rapper is from California herself.
Saweetie is a very successful rapper, but success isn’t without its challenges. In early 2021, a video of her rapping acapella went viral on social media. This prompted criticism from some who feel that her flow isn’t up to par. Saweetie responded by sharing a longer freestyle on her social media channels, demonstrating her skills as a rapper and shutting down her critics. Even though she is not everyone’s cup of tea, Saweetie doesn’t let the hate get her down. What do you think of the rapper’s karaoke performance? Let us know in the comments.
Jimmy Fallon’s new-ish show, That’s My Jam, really does have a fun gimmick. Taking the simplicity of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke (which is ending after this season anyhow) and plugging in a bunch of other game show mechanics like a “wheel of fortune” randomizer and the Double Dare-esque spray of water, That’s My Jam not only gives celebrities a chance to wow audiences with incredible performances but also to be more “relatable” by doing something we all do — trip up singing our favorite songs.
Last night’s teams consisted of Community‘s Joel McHale with Will.I.Am and Keke Palmer with Saweetie. During the “Mega Mix Showdown” segment, the two rappers took on some of the classics of the genre — roulette and riff-off style, having to keep the beat between the randomized songs. The tracks included DMX’s “Party Up,” Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day,” The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize,” OutKast’s “Ms. Jackson,” and Tupac’s “California Love.”
Considering both rappers hail from California, you’d think they’d kill that last one, but… Fortunately, they recovered on Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” with Eve’s “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” offering a grand finale. For the “Slay It, Don’t Spray It” segment, though, the girls’ team had to take on pop hits like “Wrecking Ball” — which Keke proclaimed “nobody knows” — while the boys nominated Joel McHale to sing Willie Nelson’s “On The Road Again” as Will bundled up for the inevitable rinse. Who gets the big spray? You can check out the video below to find out.
