WATCH: Saweetie Drops Video for Summer Anthem “NANi”

saweetie nani

After teasing her highly anticipated single on social media, Grammy®-nominated, multi-platinum rap star Saweetie treats fans to the feel-good summer anthem “NANi.” Produced by Jean-Baptiste, Karl Rubin, Shawn Wasabi, Ryland Blackington, and Ryan Buendia, the track’s infectious beat and Saweetie’s aspirational bars make for a dancefloor hit.

Inspired by a viral Lady Gaga interview clip, Saweetie gets the girls ready for a busy summer on the pre-hook: “Plane, sprinter, glam, to the club, backdoor section, shots, another club/Two shows, one night, what’s that a hunnid plus.” The energetic lyrics and catchy rhythm are poised to dominate summer playlists.

Saweetie also releases a stunning music video to bring the single to life. Directed by Chandler Lass, the visual sees Saweetie hosting a summer pool party with her “NANi” girls, showcasing hypnotic dance moves and carefree energy. The vibrant video perfectly complements the song’s upbeat vibe, capturing the essence of a fun-filled, glamorous summer.

“‘NANi’ isn’t just a track; it’s the soundtrack to a good time,” Saweetie says. “This track def gives MAIN CHARACTER energy! <3 This single has been a labor of love, and it’s just the beginning. I’ve been working on this new music for a while, and I’m excited to share more of this journey with you.”

Saweetie’s New Single “NANi” Is Here And Yes, It Slaps

Saweetie has had a tough few years. The rapper was dragged for selling a startling low number of her debut EP, The Single Life, in 2022. Then she was pulled into the Chris Brown and Quavo feud when the former implied that she cheated on the Migos rapper with him. It’s all been very messy, and focused on the personal rather than the professional. Saweetie needed a song to redirect the focus of the public to her music. Her new single, “NANi,” should do the trick.

Saweetie previewed the song on March 30. She posted a video of her dancing by a swimming pool, and fans flooded the comment section claiming that she needed to drop it before the summer. She obliged, and it’s very likely that “NANi” will be getting lots of spin over the next few months. The instrumental is incredibly catchy, with a bouncy drum pattern made for club settings. It feels like a bit of a throwback to the DJ Mustard-type beats that were dominating the charts in the early 2010s.

Saweetie Gives Fans A Throwback Club Hit

It would feel right at home next to “Show Me” by Kid Ink and say, “Loyal” by Chris Brown (DJ Mustard produced the former). Given that the producer just scored a number one single with Kendrick Lamar, it’s not a bad sound to emulate. The lyrics aren’t anything special, but the chorus has an earworm quality to it. “Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani,” Saweetie raps. “How she walk through, swingin’ that body, Yellin’, Who gon’ stop me? You ain’t got the time to clock me.” The song is fun, and it gets the job done.

What are your thoughts on this new song, “NANi” by Saweetie? Is it her best single yet? Is it going to get play this summer? Are you excited for her new album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Saweetie.

Quotable Lyrics

Plane, sprinter, glam to the club
Backdoor sections, shots, another club
Two shows, one night, what’s that? A hundred plus?
Whole room full of bad b*tches, it’s a lot of us

Saweetie Throws A Pool Party For The Girls In Her New Video For ‘Nani’

Saweetie is always going to give us something fun, something for the summertime, and something for the girls to get ready and party to. Tonight (May 17), she has shared her new single, “Nani,” a pretty girl anthem celebrating herself and the embracing the sisterly love around her.

On the breezy track, Saweetie is ready to tear up the night, and she isn’t going to call it quotes early. She plans to take it to the “Plane, sprinter, glam, to the club, backdoor section, shots, another club /Two shows, one night,” as she notes on the song’s pre-hook.

“‘Nani’ is a record about empowering yourself to walk through any room you enter feeling beautiful, confident and unstoppable,” said Saweetie in the statement. “Commit to the work, get the bag and have fun doing it!”

In the song’s accompanying video, Saweetie is seen throwing a fun pool party for her girls, before leveling it up and taking it to the bar and the club.

We can always rely on Saweetie for a confident, feel-good hit. In recent months, we’ve seen her star in guest roles on show’s like BMF and serve as a mentor on The Voice. As she’s seemingly been everywhere on-screen, we’ll likely hear “Nani” everywhere this summer.

You can see the video for “Nani” above.

YG Called Out For Creeping On Teyana Taylor Despite Being With Saweetie

YG and Saweetie may have fended off breakup rumors, but it might take a little bit longer for the former to evade the thirst trap police. Moreover, he recently commented on a clip of Teyana Taylor posing sultrily with lingerie, and while the comment wasn’t overtly flirty, the “after hours” context of the video doesn’t leave too much room for interpretation. “4am in Cannes,” she captioned the video, whereas the West Coast MC had the following message for her in the comments section: “Go to sleep gang.” We wonder whether his boo thinks there’s something deeper here or if she knows that he doesn’t mean anything by it.

However, this also comes amid new reflections and phases for Teyana Taylor’s previous romance, that of her ex husband Iman Shumpert. He commented on her Met Gala fit earlier this month, and some fans thought that this was a sign that things were looking better for the two. Still, if you were around when they announced their months-long separation last year, you know that they made their amicable status pretty clear. There were some bumps along that road for sure, but there’s not much reason to assume that they aren’t on good terms right now.

YG’s Comment On Teyana Taylor’s Thirst Trap

As for YG and Saweetie, they are still going strong in their relationship and in their careers, even if some folks have differing opinions on the quality of their musical offerings. We’ll see what’s in store for the couple down the road, whether that means more team-ups on wax or instances of free-form trap-thirsting on social media. Either way, they seem like they’re having fun and enjoying each other’s company right now, and hopefully that’s an upward trend. Maybe one day, they’ll joke about this 4AM comment, as they don’t seem particularly distant from Teyana Taylor, either.

Meanwhile, the Icy Girl is tired of social media confusing her for other femcees, even though she expressed as such while showing love to her fellow artists. She’s got a big new single coming up to contend for a smash hit, and YG and Saweetie are always pretty successful in this mode. We’ll see whether they team up with Teyana Taylor for a collab one day, or if this will just be a forgettable moment online. As long as your partner knows about it, who are we to judge?

Bobbi Althoff & Saweetie Seemingly Tease An Interview Together

Thanks to a recent social media tease in which Saweetie and Bobbi Althoff put together some awkward dance moves in front of a pool to the former’s new anticipated single, a lot of folks think that they could have an interview on the way. Moreover, it would follow a lot of the usual hype-up for an Althoff sit-down, and the link-up seems a little too out of the blue to not involve something grander. Still, maybe they are just really getting along and wanted to show themselves having some fun online, and that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. We’ll see if there are similar talking points or contentious moments that result of this hypothetical conversation like the ones that have came up in the past.

Furthermore, Bobbi Althoff’s interviews lean towards slight awkwardness in the public eye given her comedic style, and as of late, they inspired a lot more debate such as her viral “I’m not a musician” moment with Sukihana. Perhaps a convo with Saweetie will hold another miscommunication instance like this, although we’re sure that it would still be an entertaining one to witness even if it’s a completely normal and chilled-out sit-down. But for all our theorizing, there’s no official announcement. So we’ll see what pans out in the near future.

In fact, for Saweetie in particular, she has a lot that she could talk about and address. For one, there’s the aforementioned teased track that’s apparently titled “Nani” that should be coming out very soon. But on a more tantalizing and scandalous note, the Los Angeles MC also came up in the beef between her ex Quavo and Chris Brown, who claimed that he slept with her while they were still together. It seems like she’s had more to chastise the former Migo for than Breezy, but we’ll see if this stays the same or if she has some extra bars on her next song.

Meanwhile, do you think this interview is actually happening or is this just a random social media post? Do you think the Althoff or the Icy Girl are going to talk about the rumors and statements other people made on their behalf these days? Whatever your theories are, let us know how you think they’ll respond to it down in the comments section below. For more news and the latest updates on Bobbi Althoff and Saweetie, stick around on HNHH.

Saweetie & YG Are Boo’d Up On Night Out Amid Chris Brown & Quavo Drama

Despite Chris Brown and Quavo dragging her name through the mud in their response diss tracks to each other, Saweetie and her partner YG are seemingly partying through it all. Moreover, they recently went on a club outing for one of Power 106‘s anniversary parties on Thursday night (April 25). While it’s obviously impossible to assume their attitudes, mental spaces, and moods with just one clip, it seems like they were at least relaxed and just happy to be there. Whether or not they’re actually worrying about this situation or whether it’s caused a bump on their journey, they’re certainly not letting the cameras find out.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Saweetie actually responded to Quavo mentioning that he can turn any model into her by posting a screenshot of an alleged DM that the former Migo sent her back in January, which she still hadn’t opened. He hasn’t responded to this move publicly at press time, and we wonder whether or not he thought that his bars would come across as more defensive than mocking. Regardless, she hasn’t really said much about Chris Brown and about how he claimed to have slept with her while she was with Quavo in the first place, opening up this whole can of worms. This is all mostly speculative, but you can start to see where the tea really gets interesting in this whole debacle.

Of course, there’s a good chance that the Icy Girl will respond to some of this on her upcoming single, which she has teased quite heavily and much to fan excitement. After all, she recently suggested that she might rewrite some bars for it while this whole beef between Quavo and Chris Brown was heating up with diss tracks and responses. No matter how Saweetie chooses to handle this moving forward, YG’s seemingly got her back. But we know that things can change quickly, especially behind closed doors that we can’t peep behind just yet.

For example, this couple were recently the subject of breakup rumors themselves, so we can only wish them the best moving forward. Still, what do you think about this whole situation? However you may feel, let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Saweetie, YG, Chris Brown, and Quavo.

Saweetie Exposes Quavo DM After He Mentions Her On Chris Brown Diss Record

The back and forth on wax between R&B crooner Chris Brown and Migos member Quavo has taken another unexpected turn with another involved party; Quavo’s ex-girlfriend and Brown’s former fling Saweetie.

The “My Type” rapper took to X(formerly Twitter) after her former beau dropped his “H*es & Bitches” diss response aimed at Brown. In the song, Quavo rapped, “I can take a model bitch and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” insinuating that he turned her into the successful artist she is today.

Saweetie hit back by posting a screenshot of an unopened DM from Quavo, but the preview of the message reads, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie cynically captioned the screenshot, “Hopefully the model he turns into me replies.”

Brown used the failed relationship between the two in his weaponized bars against the “Bad And Boujee” rapper, claiming to have slept with her while Quavo was still with her.

You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” CB rapped.

Saweetie and Quavo began dating back in 2018 but the couple called it quits in 2021 over allegations he cheated on her.

Saweetie Targets Quavo, But Not Chris Brown: Fans React To Her Responses To Disses

Saweetie is causing some significant fan debate right now around her role in the beef between Chris Brown and Quavo. For those unaware, the most recent development between those artists was the latter’s “Over H*es & B***hes” diss against the former, which got mixed reactions from fans and outright dismissal from Brown himself. However, the Los Angeles femcee heated things up in a different way by posting a screenshot of an unopened DM that the former Migo sent her. What fans found contentious and scandalous, particularly for Huncho Jack, is that she is only targeting her former partner here and not the person that dragged her into this mess in the first place.

As such, a lot of folks think that what Chris Brown said about Saweetie cheating on Quavo with him could be true, although this is obviously just gossip still. There’s also her upcoming single to consider, something that she teased rewriting the bars for to perhaps address some of this. Regardless, fans still debated whether this timeline was warranted, whether the Georgia rapper deserves some primary criticism from the Icy Girl, and what her lack of response to Breezy says about the dynamic. Some are analyzing it from the rap beef perspective, and others are simply here for the relationship and cheating drama.

Saweetie Causes Fan Debate With Her Quavo Shade While Staying Silent On Chris Brown

Either way, this is definitely contributing to a lot of wild discussion and theorizing. One ironic part about all this is that Quavo and Chris Brown aren’t making back-and-forth claims about a single lady. Saweetie is very much in a relationship with YG at the moment, or at least, that’s what they’ve indicated in live performances and on social media following break-up rumors. As such, many wonder if he’ll have anything to say about all of this, or if he’s standing by his woman 100%.

More Fan Reactions

Meanwhile, many folks wonder what this beef could bring next, especially since the R&B star seems uninterested in a response. Nevertheless, who do you think is “winning” right now and is the “Richtivities” artist right in taking these approaches? In any case, give us your takes down in the comments section below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Chris Brown, Quavo, and Saweetie.

Saweetie Puts Quavo On Blast With Embarrassing DM

Quavo is having a rough week. The Migos rapper had to stand by while Chris Brown dropped the diss track “Weakest Link” to positive reception from fans. He clapped back with “Over Hoes & B*tches” on April 22, but it did not get the same love as Breezy’s. Some felt Quavo relied too heavily on the feature from the late Takeoff, while others thought the rapper failed to dig up any real dirt on Brown. It gets worse. The same day “Over Hoes & B*tches” dropped, Saweetie hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to disprove one of Quavo’s claims.

Saweetie has become a central figure in the Quavo versus Brown feud. While Karreuche Tran was previously the focus, due to the fact that she dated both artists, Saweetie has been referenced in both “Weakest Link” and “Over Hoes & B*tches.” In the former, Brown claimed to have slept with the rapper while she was still dating Quavo. In the latter, Quavo claims he doesn’t care. “I can take a model b*tch and make a Saweetie, n**ga,” he raps, with the implication being that she’s replaceable. It’s a less than stellar bar, and one that Saweetie was more than happy to upend.

Saweetie Shared Instagram Receipts With Fans

The rapper posted a screenshot of her Instagram DMs, and one of the messages left on read was from none other than Quavo. The entirety of the message is unclear, but the first couple words read: “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie posted a withering caption with the screenshot, making it clear that she meant more to Quavo than he’s letting on. “Hopefully the model he turns into me replies,” she wrote. Saweetie and Quavo dated for three years before breaking up in March 2021.

Saweetie talked about their relationship during an appearance on Caresha Please. She skirted around the question of whether or not Quavo cheated on her, and ultimately chalked their split up to differences. “I thought we was gonna spend the rest of our lives together,” she admitted. “With him, I knew it was the one. It was different.” Ironically, the two rappers first connected when Quavo DM’d Saweetie on IG in 2018, which means this new DM drama brings things full circle. Like they say: all’s fair in love and war.

Saweetie Revealed Why She Never Released Her Highly Anticipated ‘Barbie Girl’-Sampling Song, ‘Icy Girl, Icy World’

One of the biggest songs of 2023 was Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj’s song “Barbie World,” which interpolated Aqua’s 1997 hit “Barbie Girl.” However, it wasn’t the only song to sample that song. In 2022, Saweetie previewed a clip of her own song, “Icy Girl, Icy World,” generating some impressive buzz months before “Barbie World” was tapped to feature on the Barbie film’s soundtrack. Unfortunately, her song was never released and fans awaiting the Bay Area rapper’s big comeback were left disappointed. While one of her collaborators on the song offered his own take on the situation, Saweetie never addressed why she shelved “Icy Girl”… until now.

When a fan on Twitter (never calling it “X”) posted a clip of Saweetie previewing the song during a livestream and asked, “What happened to this?” Saweetie’s response was short and simple. “Warner wouldn’t clear it,” she explained.

Although it appears Saweetie is still signed to the label, she hasn’t been shy about calling out Warner in the past. Earlier this month, she called on the label to approve the budget for the rollout of her single “Nani,” which she’s been teasing for weeks. And in 2020, she vented her frustrations with the label for flubbing the release of her song “Best Friend” with Doja Cat.

Meanwhile, although Saweetie said she didn’t mind Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice “borrowing” her idea for the Barbie soundtrack, her co-writer on the song, Jason Martin (fka Problem), censured the bigger star for what he saw as dirty business. “I can confirm this song and idea was sent to her last year to submit for the Barbie movie,” he posted on Twitter. “It’s sad to see that the original artist has been pushed off a song that was her idea and was meant for both of them.”
