Not to be left out, Saweetie has partnered with Candy Crush to help promote the Candy Crush All Stars tournament, which kicked off today. Yeah, I didn’t know that was a thing, either. In a delightful teaser, Saweetie recruits a team of Icy Girls to plot a heist for the championship rings, only to be foiled by Atlanta-based jeweler, Z, who also helped design the rings with his brothers Mo and Rafi (collectively known as Icebox). While she fails to get the rings, she certainly looks like she’s having a blast chasing the jeweler around the “Candy Crush Headquarters” garage.
She’s got good reason to want to skip the line; according to a press release, the diamond-encrusted rings are worth $75,000. Unfortunately for her, they’re only available to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of the tournament, so hopefully, she’s been keeping her skills on Candy Crush Saga as sharp as her nails. You can check out the game today to sign up for the tournament, which is open to anyone over 18 years old and level 25 and higher. Ten finalists will be flown to London for the last round and compete for the $250,000 prize pot.
Saweetie is moving the needle this week by claiming Lil Nas X as her “celebrity guy crush” and blaming her Zodiac sign for the ongoing delay of her debut album. The two-time Grammy nominee also provided an update on the album, and her response is sure to get the people going.
“I’m working on the album. I’m really focused on my craft right now,” Saweetie told Metro UKin an interview published Monday, March 20. “I’m about to drop some treatments and … direct with some directors to shoot some new music videos.”
She added, “I definitely want to work with Rihanna. [Super Bowl LVII] wasn’t even a game. It was the Rihanna concert. [We would] release a dance record to get the party going.”
Most recently, Rihanna attended the 2023 Oscars on March 12 and earned a standing ovation for her live rendition of the Oscar-nominated “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
She’s unashamedly putting it out in the universe that she wants to work with Rihanna, and we can’t blame Saweetie at all. The Bay Area hitmaker joins thousands of other creatives who wish to one day link in the studio with the billionaire mogul. The two ladies share a commonality: no one knows when either of them will release their next album. Rihanna hasn’t given us a full-length record since 2016’s Anti, and Saweetie has been mapping out her official debut album, Pretty B*tch Music, for years.
While it seems RiRi has been busy building her billionaire Fenty brand and welcoming babies into the world, Saweetie’s fans aren’t sure what’s keeping her project on ice. The “My Type” hitmaker caught up with Metro UK to discuss her phantom release that apparently has “more collaborations” than her fans will expect. Again, she insists the album is close to being completed. “Definitely way before the end of the year,” she said of its date. “I’m working on the album, I’m really focused on my craft right now.”
As she edges closer to Prety B*tch Music‘s arrival, Saweetie details what’s next. “I’m about to drop some treatments and collaborate some,” she revealed. “Direct with some directors to shoot some new music videos.” Of course, Metro UK wanted to know who Saweetie’s dream collaboration would be. Without hesitation, she named the “Rude Boy” star. “I definitely want to work with Rihanna. [The Super Bowl] wasn’t even a game, it was the Rihanna concert.” So, what kind of song would it be? “[We would] release a dance record to get the party going.”
We’ll have to wait and see if Rihanna is down to connect, but her hands are full these days. Meanwhile, it has been an arduous journey for Saweetie to get her debut to streaming services. It was reportedly supposed to arrive in 2021, but that year, Saweetie revealed she was locked in boot camp. The rapper was working on her craft, and later, a conversation with Cher would push her release date back even further.
Advice From Cher
“I thought [the album] was done, but after I met her, I had an epiphany,” Saweetie said in 2021. “This album needs to have feelings, it needs to have soul, it needs to have spirit. And I have a lot of room for improvement, so I’m gonna work on that. And once it’s done, the album will be released.”
Lil Nas X may have spent the last several days (actually, years) defending his sexuality but it turns out all it took for him to reverse course was a co-sign from the right artist. Of course, he was joking when he said goodbye to his queer icon status after learning he’s Saweetie‘s celebrity crush… but we’d understand if he wasn’t, to be honest.
Last week, after a Twitter user trolled Nas, writing, “I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced,” Saweetie got into some hot water with fans over liking the tweet by mistake. After realizing her error and removing the like, she explained, “He was lookin fine af that’s why I liked the video. I didn’t see the shadiness …*unlikes*”

However, Nas, a Twitter veteran and a pro at handling awkward situations, showed there were no hard feelings by quote tweeting a fan account’s post of a video featuring Saweetie talking about her crush on him on E! News. During the interview, Saweetie admits, “My celebrity guy crush is Lil Nas. He is so fine. He looks better than me!” She also cracked wise about wanting to know his skincare regimen.
Given that as recently as last year, fans were getting romantically connecting Saweetie to practically every eligible male rapper out, this one was out of left field. But it’s nice to know Nas and Saweetie have mutual respect for each other — maybe that can lead to some music (please?).
Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
“When you get signed, the label wants a hit,” she explained in a February 2022 interview. “They want a return on their investment, which I understand. But it’s important for artists to understand themselves before they start seeking for hits.” She offered an estimated release date of the summer of that year, which obviously didn’t happen.
In a new interview with E! News, the rapper shared another update on the LP. “I feel like a debut album is not something you just put out,” she said. “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,” she added. “So, I wanna put that all into my album in the most artistic and organic way.”
In June of last year, she shared more on her Instagram Story about the process. “These past couple of years have been a growing experience for me as an artist, human, but most importantly, a woman,” she wrote. “I have realized my purpose with the platform God has given me, which is why I have taken my time with releasing music this time around. Through hours of self-reflection, I have realized that Pretty B.*.T.C.H. music is not an album — it’s a movement. It’s a culture. It’s a language. It’s a lifestyle. We not rushing art. We taking our time! This ain’t no microwave sh*t! It’s baking & it will definitely be worth the taste.”

Fans have waited for this album for almost two years, but it looks like the stars had other plans for it. Moreover, Saweetie recently placed partial blame on her zodiac sign for her album delay, which was originally going to drop in June of 2021. During an E! News interview on Monday (March 20), she addressed the consistent postponement of her debut album Pretty B***h Music. Still, it’s not like she’s been completely off the radar, given last year’s The Single Life EP. Also, she said that she’s been through a lot over her career and doesn’t want to force a shoddy expression of those experiences.
“I feel like a debut album is not something you just put out,” the Icy Girl stated during her conversation. “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.”
Saweetie’s Album Delay Is Because Of Her Zodiac Sign, She Says

As of late, a lot of the conversation around Saweetie regards rumors of her relationships with other rappers. While it’s always at least curious, it’s also disappointing to see her reduced to who she spends her time with, especially given that the rumors concern other colleagues and collaborators in the industry. In fact, it’s something that she addressed on The Single Life on the track “Don’t Say Nothin’,” where her lyrics question why “always speakin’ on who I’m f***in’ on.” In addition, the real disappointment about all these conversations is that she’s building a happy and healthy relationship with Quavo.
With all that in mind, it’s actually not entirely unbelievable that the California rapper would want some time to process things. Sure, her success has been stellar, but often might be bogged down by the extracurriculars of fame and being a female rapper in the industry. Whether it’s for her sales or her relationships, she faced opposition at many turns. Hopefully her debut album will be exactly what she wants it to be, and makes a splash upon its release. Let’s just hope a Virgo doesn’t mix the project. Regardless, check out the full interview here and log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Saweetie.
Everybody’s been in a situation where we might like a tweet with pictures without reading the caption. Unfortunately for celebrities, that might get you involved in some beef. Saweetie recently explained why she liked a tweet that threw shade at Lil Nas X and his Lollapalooza Chile performance this year. Of course, people took that to mean that she held ill will towards the MONTERO star, or just found the attack on him funny. However, Saweetie clarified her reasoning in a subsequent tweet and denied dissing Lil Nas X.
“I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced,” the shady tweet in question read. While it’s still an assumption, at least it doesn’t stray into legitimately bigoted rhetoric. After many pointed out Saweetie’s like and called her out, she explained in a Twitter message. “He was lookin fine af,” the “Icy Chain” star wrote. “That’s why I liked the video I didn’t see the shadiness …. *unlikes*.” At least she also clarified that it was enough of a dealbreaker to unlike the tweet if it suggested Lil Nas X slander.
Saweetie Clarifies Liking Shady Tweet At Lil Nas X
In other news concerning the 29-year-old, she recently spoke on being referred to as “Queen of the Bay.” Even though she expressed appreciation, she wasn’t quick to agree with the moniker. “I don’t want to self-proclaim the ‘Queen statement.’ 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, during his Lollapalooza set, the “INDUSTRY BABY” artist debuted a upcoming collab with Saucy Santana, “Down Souf Hoes.” They’ve been performing it since 2022, and fans are clamoring to get a release as soon as possible. Fortunately, both stars are not stopping anytime soon. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X and Saweetie.
Saweetie and Quavo, two of the biggest names in hip-hop, have had an exciting relationship. The couple has been the subject of much speculation and fascination, from their early days of dating to their highly publicized breakup. The fans cannot get enough. This article will deeply dive into the couples entire relationship timeline.
The rumors of Saweetie and Quavo’s relationship were swirling in the fall of 2018 when the two were seen together on multiple occasions. The couple was spotted together in September at New York Fashion Week. They were later seen together at a nightclub in Atlanta later that month.
During springtime, Saweetie and Quavo made their relationship official by attending the 2019 Grammy Award. The couple walked the red carpet hand-in-hand and posed for photos together. During the event, the rapper was also kissing Saweetie on the cheek, confirming their relationship with the public.
During springtime, Saweetie and Quavo made their relationship official by attending the 2019 Grammy Award. Later on in June, the couple was featured on the cover of GQ magazine, where they talked about their relationship and how they first met. According to Saweetie, Quavo had slid into her DMs on Instagram after seeing her on the explore page. The couple then began talking and eventually started dating. Still together in September, the duo celebrated their first anniversary with a romantic trip to New York City. Finally, Saweetie shared a photo of the couple on Instagram and the caption, “Cheers to 1 year of shenanigans, travel, and love. I’m grateful for you every day.”
In March 2020, rumors started circulating that the pair had broken up. The words were fueled by the fact that the couple had unfollowed each other on social media. However, the couple quickly put those rumors to rest by posting a TikTok video together, where they recreated a scene from the movie “The Lion King.” In April 2020, the couple made headlines again when Saweetie appeared on an episode of “The Quibi Show” and was asked about the most romantic thing Quavo had ever done for her. She revealed that Quavo had surprised her with a custom-made Birkin bag filled with money. The couple then shared a video of the surprise on Instagram, confirming they were still together.
Saweetie And Quavo Split (2021)
I’m single. I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band aid scars and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.
In March 2021, Saweetie announced on Twitter that she and Quavo had broken up. She wrote, “I’m single. I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.”
Quavo responded to Saweetie’s tweet with a message of his own. He wrote, “I know you want to make this into a show so I’ll play my part just this one time. I don’t normally put my business out there, especially my personal life. I feel like the internet and the blogs and the publications made it bigger than what it was.”
The breakup’s aftermath was messy, with both making public statements about their relationship. However, by May 2021, it seemed like the dust had settled. Saweetie told People magazine that she was healing and focusing on herself.
Rumors of a possible reconciliation surfaced in November 2021 when the couple was first spotted spending time together and working on their relationship. Later on, in January 2022, Saweetie and Quavo fueled reconciliation rumors when they were again spotted on a date in New York City. The couple was seen leaving a restaurant together, and fans couldn’t help but speculate that they had gotten back together. However, by March 2022, it was clear that Saweetie and Quavo had indeed reconciled. They made their official red carpet debut as a couple at the 2022 Grammys, and Saweetie wore a stunning green gown while Quavo looked dapper in a black suit.
