Usher warned fellas not to leave their girls around him in 2002 via his song “U Don’t Have To Call.” YG had no clue that would remain true over 20 years later, when his rumored boo, Saweetie, crossed paths with the singer. The “My Type” rapper traveled to Las Vegas for Usher’s critically acclaimed My Way residency. Little did she know she’ll end up on stage with the musician.

During the fan interaction segment of his show, Usher serenaded Saweetie to his song “There Goes My Baby.” However, she kept her cool to avoid the same public spat with her alleged boyfriend, which Keke Palmer dealt with earlier this week. In the clip captured by a fan, when encouraged to participate, Saweetie played coy, to which Usher remarked, “Oh Saweetie, you’re too cool to sing my song?”

While it’s not clear if this was just a case of stage fright, fans are speculating that Saweetie chose not to join with Usher because she didn’t want to receive any public blowback. Keke Palmer was berated by her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, who is the father to her son Leo, after she was seen dancing and singing along with Usher in a performance prior.

Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

YG & Saweetie Hit Up West Hollywood Club On Her Birthday Weekend: Video

by

In the past, both YG and Saweetie have been in relationships with other artists that many thought would be their end game. While the Icy Girl spent several years cuffed to former Migo Quavo, the “Why You Always Hatin?” hitmaker made a beautiful pair with Kehlani. In. the years since their respective breakups, it would seem the West Coast stars have found their way into each other’s lives, finally confirming their romance after much speculation, and a baecation in Cabo.

On Sunday (July 2), Saweetie celebrated her 30th birthday, and many were surprised to see no signs of YG in her commemorative photo dump. She did pose beside a massive bouquet of flowers in one image, which very well could be a gift from him. For all we know, he wasn’t present at her party, though he would’ve missed out on Saweetie looking stunning. Nevertheless, if YG really wasn’t on the town with his lover then, we can confirm he joined her on Monday evening for a date in West Hollywood.

YG & His Girl Hit the Town

A video captured by patrons of the same venue show Saweetie and the 33-year-old leaving hand in hand, trying to stay calm amid a mass crowd of people. YG wore his usual muscle shirt and stack of ice around his neck and wrist. As for the fashionista, she may have topped her sultry birthday outfit with her bold butterfly ensemble last night.

The rap diva wrote, “✨✨🐮🐮🐮✨✨,” in her Instagram post showing off the ethereal look. Her lengthy nails perfectly complimented the jewel-toned rings on her fingers, and were just one of the elements that made her beautifully shine under the full moon light.

Saweetie Turns 30: Icy Girl Celebrates With A Pokemon Squirtle Cake & Golden Lingerie

by

One thing the world loves about Saweetie is her unbothered, youthful approach to life. The California native has branded herself as the official Icy Girl, leaning into the Y2K aesthetic with her own twist to create colourful outfits that look great both on and off stage. Many who aren’t familiar with Saweetie outside of her music were surprised to find out that she turned 30 years old on Sunday (June 2), but just because she’s aging doesn’t mean she plans on switching up her style.

To celebrate her big day, the Grammy-nominated lyricist donned an all-gold outfit, complete with an intricately designed top that left little of her voluptuous chest to the imagination. Saweetie added a matching thong to her bottom half, though she maintained some modesty with a wrap skirt fixed around her slim waist. Her accessories were on-point as always, from the huge hoop earrings hanging down to her shoulders to the gold glitter beautifully applied all over her body.

Other images from Saweetie’s photo dump show off her gem-toned manicure and matching rings, as well as some snapshots taken with friends. A beautiful blue rose also made its way into several images, sometimes tucked between the rap diva’s breasts. It somehow adds the perfect pop of colour to her birthday outfit, which is definitely one of her best to date.

Interestingly enough, the black-haired beauty’s new man, YG, didn’t join her – at least in front of the camera. The pair recently confirmed their long-speculated romance, though it seems they’re keeping things between them as lowkey as possible for the time being.

Young Thug Denied Dissing Saweetie On ‘Business Is Business’ By Clarifying The Lyric In Question

by

Given his current legal affairs, Young Thug’s ability to speak directly with his fan base is limited. However, the “Parade On Cleveland” rapper has nothing but space and opportunity to get several messages out via his new album, Business Is Business. After the initial excitement of the project wore off, fans began to take a deep dive into the lyrics speculating that his former friend Gunna wasn’t the only one to be dissed on a track (although he wasn’t a target either).

Several supporters jumped onto social media to accuse Young Thug of dissing Saweetie on his track “Want Me Dead,” which features 21 Savage. The lyric in question reads, “My n**** ain’t even tryna hit sweetie / That b*tch turn me off, no kizzy.” While Young Thug is not above being shady on a record, he ensured this wasn’t one of those instances.

To make it crystal clear, Young Thug took to Twitter to deny dissing Saweetie but also took it a step further to clarify that stanza. “Her name is Saweetie. I said, sweetie. #BusinessIsBusiness,” wrote the entertainer.

Young Thug, for context in another tweet, wrote, “Also, that song is 6 years old,” to nip the rumor in the bud.

Listen to the track above.

Business Is Business is out now via 300 Entertainment/Atlantic Records. Find more information here.

Saweetie Teases New Song With London On Da Track Production In Chicago

by

It’s been several years of EPs, singles, and other notable moments, yet there’s still no debut album from Saweetie. Of course, she’s spent plenty of time giving updates and timelines on when the album is coming, and why it’s taken so long to release. However, it seems like all of that might change this year after performances and new music teases, plus a couple of notable collaborations and last year’s EP, THE SINGLE LIFE. Recently, at Chicago’s Pride In The Park Festival, the Cali native teased a new track with production from acclaimer beatmaker London On Da Track. Moreover, it’s reportedly titled “Shot O’Clock” and hopefully drops very soon.

In terms of the beat, it’s a classic bounce for Saweetie, harkening to West Coast rhythms and chorus structures. There’s even a Spanish countdown that compliments the beat and melody quite well, on top of sampling Suzanne Vega and DNA’s “Tom’s Diner.” Lyrically, it’s just as boastful, confident, and club-ready as you expect a track from the 29-year-old to be. Her performance on it is sharp, focused, and filled with laidback energy.

Saweetie & London On Da Track’s Teased Song

However, a bigger story involving her recently actually involved another rapper allegedly throwing a diss her way. Moreover, the “ICY GIRL” seemed to catch a stray from Young Thug on the track “Want Me Dead” off his new album BUSINESS IS BUSINESS– or at least that’s what fans thought. “My n***a ain’t even tryna hit sweetie,” Thugger raps. He took to Twitter to clarify that he said “sweetie” and not “Saweetie.” Regardless, it still caused quite the stir online given the hype around the release and the apparent name-drop. Ultimately, Thug is such an expressive rapper that confusion around his bars is to be expected at this point.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta-based producer made a lot of headlines recently for his relationship with Shenseea. In fact, it crossed over into another news story. Summer Walker (his ex that beefed with him a lot online) gave her props for changing his ways. From the looks of it, he and Saweetie will go back to making headlines for their art very soon. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on these artists.

Young Thug Debunks Saweetie Diss On New Album “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS”

by

Even though this wasn’t a diss as people thought, it does answer some interesting questions people had about BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Moreover, Young Thug recently stated via Twitter that a line that many thought was directed at Saweetie on his new album actually didn’t take aim at her at all. “My n***a ain’t even tryna hit sweetie,” Thug raps on the track “Want Me Dead.” Furthermore, it seems like a lot of people thought that he actually mentioned the California rapper. It was just a case of mishearing the line thanks to there not being a word like “a,” “the,” “my,” and so on before “sweetie.” “Her name is Saweetie,” Thugger tweeted. “I said sweetie. #BusinessIsBusiness.”

Given the Atlanta trap pioneer’s expressive inflections and unique tone, it’s easy to confuse lines from him. However, his clarification points to a few other rumors surrounding BUSINESS IS BUSINESS‘s release. For starters, many wondered how much of these new tracks were freshly recorded during his incarceration. He now confirmed that probably many of these have a couple of years on the shelf. More importantly, though, fans wonder whether Young Thug will clarify whether he meant to diss Gunna on tracks like “Jonesboro,” where he talks about snitching. Since he’s in jail, it’s unlikely that he recorded a specific verse for it. Still, now that he cleared one alleged diss up, why not another? And what does it mean if he doesn’t?

Well, the reason why is likely because of his YSL partner’s plea deal. Its legal ramifications likely bar significant contact between the two, as some pointed out. On the other hand of that argument, Wunna’s done plenty to shout out Young Thug and reach him indirectly. Also, Thugger once linked Gunna’s music on his IG bio and then deleted it. At the moment, it seems like the relationship between the two is assumed to be at least amicably at arm’s length as fans continue to speculate. For example, an alleged leak voice call from the 31-year-old to Lil Baby and Lil Durk asking for them to respond to Gunna’s alleged disses was called fake by Thug’s sister.

Meanwhile, even that hasn’t convinced people that there’s bad blood brewing. That’s certainly true for Gunna’s relationship with other artists, but not necessarily with Thugger himself. While many hope we’ll get true answers soon, those won’t likely be coming anytime soon. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Young Thug and Saweetie.

Jason Martin (FKA Problem) Alleges Nicki Minaj Stole The Idea For Her And Ice Spice’s ‘Barbie’ Movie Song From Him And Saweetie

For the upcoming Barbie movie soundtrack, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice teamed up for “Barbie World,” a new spin on Aqua’s classic “Barbie Girl.” However, Jason Martin (the rapper/songwriter/producer formerly known as Problem who now releases music as JasonMartin) claims that Minaj stole the idea for the track from him.

Last December, Saweetie previewed the Aqua-sampling “Icy Girl, Icy World” during an Instagram Live session. Sharing a clip of that on Twitter on June 18, Martin wrote, “As a writer on this, I can confirm this song and idea was sent to her last year to submit for the Barbie movie. 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. I have no side in this, but I will be compensated.” He continued in another tweet, “If or when I need to detail the whole way it went down in regards to this Barbie sh*t, you will understand why all writers need to be compensated with day rates and contracts protecting their intellectual properties the day of. Hopefully this gets sorted out quietly. But please no I don’t scare easy.”

He spoke about it on Instagram Live, too, claiming he and Saweetie created the song and sent it to Minaj for Barbie movie consideration. She supposedly said she was going to use the song before making her own version without the two involved.

Nicki Minaj Allegedly Bit Saweetie’s Idea For “Barbie World” Track

by

Apparently the upcoming Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice collab “Barbie World,” for the upcoming Barbie movie, has a certain inspiration that they ripped off. However, that accusation is pretty contentious at the end of the day when you read into it. Still, writer and former rapper Problem, real name Jason Martin, claimed that the New York rapper took Saweetie’s idea to sample Aqua’s 1997 hit, “Barbie Girl.” Not only that, but Martin also alleged that they sent a track called “Icy World” with a slightly different version of the beat to the Barbie team to be used in the movie. Furthermore, he took to both Twitter and Instagram Live to voice his frustration with this alleged biting.

“As a writer on this, I can confirm this song and idea was sent to her last year to submit for the Barbie movie,” Martin wrote 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. I have no side in this, but I will be compensated.” While it seems he’s seeking writing credit and nothing more, it’s odd to say he’s not taking a “side.”

“If or when I need to detail the whole way it went down in regards to this Barbie shit, you will understand why all writers need to be compensated with day rates and contracts protecting their intellectual properties the day of,” Jason Martin continued. “Hopefully this gets sorted out quietly. But please no I don’t scare easy.” Regardless, the artist formerly known as Problem also hit up fans live on Instagram to share his thoughts. In it, he reiterated that he doesn’t want to start beef, just get paid for writing the song concept.

Jason Martin Continues His Side Of The Story On Instagram Live

Meanwhile, this accusation is quite odd considering that Ice Spice and Saweetie linked up in the past. Also, is this really the first two instances of people wanting to sample the Barbie song? Things are quite unclear right now with all artists involved not responding as of writing this article. However, it’s hard to predict how it will pan out. For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, Saweetie, and Ice Spice, come back to HNHH.
