It’s been a strange few months for YG and Saweetie, who started dating last year. The couple went head first into their relationship immediately collaborating on music and even planning a tour together. Even though the tour was canceled they seemed to be going strong in 2023. But once 2024 hit they formally shared the news that they were ending things. Despite claims that it was all very amicable, both had some behavior in the days following their breakup that fans found curious.
But pretty much from the moment they broke up, fans have speculated they might be back on. YG brought out Saweetie during his recent set with Tyga at Rolling Loud LA. But the pair didn’t just perform together, they had a sensual experience on stage that sent rumors of their rekindled romance into overdrive. Overnight, YG shared a picture of the pair together that all but confirmed their romance has returned. In the picture, the pair are sitting in the backseat of a car with a caption that features a variety of love and heart-themed emojis. Check out the post he shared that has fans buzzing below.
Saweetie already has a few features and singles under her belt in 2024 and that doesn’t look like it’s slowing up any time soon. She’s already begun teasing a new song called “Nani” that’s coming soon. She dropped a snippet of the pop-flavored song on Twitter and her fans were absolutely eating it up right away.
As for YG, he’s only appeared on one new song this year, a feature alongside Stunna Girl. Instead of dropping new music, he’s been celebrating the 10th anniversary of his seminal 2014 debut album My Krazy Life. What do you think of YG basically confirming that his romance with Saweetie is back on? How long do you think the pair have been back together? Let us know in the comment section below.
Every year, some of the biggest stars in rap and R&B gather in one place. Over the weekend that place was Los Angeles for the 2024 Rolling Loud LA Festival. With four big-name headliners and dozens of beloved supporting acts, everybody got a taste of something they love during the festival. While everyone goes to music festivals for different artists and different reasons, these were some of the best sets of the weekend that brought both energy and theatricality to the festival stage.
For a lot of artists, the spectacle is as much a part of the show as anything else. That was definitely the case right out of the gate for Summer’s Saturday Night performance at the GoPuff stage. With an impressive live band and array of backup dancers she made her presence known instantly upon arrival. But unlike some of the weekend’s other most theatrical performances, there was actually substance underneath the flash.
Throughout her set, Walker brushed through numerous fan favorites as well as some of her newest material. Throughout, Walker’s vocals were stunning, consistently soaring above the live instrumentation. Her performance was strong enough to reach the dramatic peaks of some of her most dramatic sonic moments and it made the set an absolute delight.
Rolling Loud has a reputation for virality. That often comes from huge moments where the biggest names in hip-hop take an absolutely massive stage to show off their sheer force of star power. The only set of the entire weekend that lived up to that level of grandiosity was the Sunday night headlining slot of Future and Metro Boomin. The two superstars closed out the entire festival with a career-spanning performance that lived up to the promise of Rolling Loud.
Just a few weeks ago the pair confirmed that they have two new albums on the way very soon. Throughout the set, they continually promised that it was going to be some of the best music of the year. From what they performed live, many fans agreed, In particular, when the duo had fellow stars Travis Scott and Playboi Carti join them on stage it made for one of the best and most talked about moments of the entire weekend.
Saturday night, Flo Milli hit the GoPuff stage in the wake of a major couple of weeks for her. She’s scored one of her biggest hits to date with the single “Never Lose Me,” which just got a new remix featuring SZA and Cardi B. She also just released her new album Fine Ho, Stay her first new project since 2022. All of that gave her plenty of reason to celebrate and flex, which is exactly what she did throughout her set.
She delivered one fan-favorite cut after another spanning her entire career during the 30-minute set. Much like her albums, it was an absolute banger fest. For one song after another Flo Milli routinely got the chance to spit confident bars and hard-hitting catchy refrains. With an audience clearly packed full of die-hard fans the intensity and attitude of the performance was unrivaled for the entire weekend.
It’s only fitting that two of California’s finest would deliver one of the best performances of Rolling Loud Los Angeles. YG first appeared on Thursday night alongside Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and a myriad of other guests for the VULTURES listening party. But that was nothing compared to the energy he would bring to his own set on Friday. He’s celebrating the 10th anniversary of his debut album My Krazy Life and kicked off the set with fiery performances of some of the album’s classics.
But the highlight of the show came once the pair went back to back in the second half. They did an impromptu live Verzuz on stage that reminded fans they both have hit after hit. That even included a surprise appearance from Saweetie alongside YG where they tantalized the crowd by flirting on stage. The celebration of two of the West Coast’s finest felt like one of those Rolling Loud moments that fans will talk about for years to come.
One of the most signature elements of Rolling Loud is the raucous crowds. Nearly every year videos of massive mosh pits breaking out with fans going absolutely wild hit the internet and go viral. It’s arguably the hallmark of the entire festival. Yet the only crowd of the weekend that really felt like it lived up to that high bar of intensity was Ski Mask The Slump God. He’s no Rolling Loud novice and you could tell as he seemingly knew exactly what songs to deliver to get the crowd hype.
During the second half of the set, he paid tribute to both XXXTENTACION and Juice Wrld and the crowd chanted along with nearly every word of every song. From the more intimate moments where cell phone lights swayed back and forth to the throttling intensity of songs like “Rip Roach,” Ski Mask’s set was the weekend’s lone moment that felt like it was destined to be the next viral Rolling Loud crowd hype video. Nobody all weekend was in command of the stage and the crowd more than Ski Mask The Slump God.
For most artists, their debut album is one of the most important projects they will ever release. It sets the stage for the rest of their career and determines how their subsequent projects will be received. In 2014, YG successfully introduced his music to the world with My Krazy Life, his debut album. While he had released a handful of mixtapes between 2009 and 2013, it was My Krazy Life that firmly put the rapper’s name on the map. Since the album dropped, YG has released several excellent projects. However, even 10 years after its release, fans still always come back to My Krazy Life. Without a doubt, it is one of the most important works in YG’s entire catalog.
Before making it big and properly entering the mainstream market, YG built a loyal fan base on MySpace. The rapper’s music began getting heavy play on the platform while he was in jail on resident burglary charges. When he was finally released in 2009, he was immediately sought out by labels who wanted to sign him. Subsequently, he signed to Def Jam where he soon started releasing his mixtapes. In 2012, the rapper first announced his debut album, titled I’m 4rm Bompton at the time. However, in 2013, YG subsequently changed the title to My Krazy Life. After completing the album, YG released My Krazy Life on March 18, 2014.
The Subject Matter Of The Album
YG has spoken extensively about what My Krazy Life means to him. By all means, the album is a very personal piece of work to the rapper, and sees him being open and vulnerable in a peculiar way. While speaking to HipHopDX about the album in 2013, YG shared, “My album is catered to my life, my culture and the West Coast. It’s like a day in the life of YG from the morning until the night.”
In another 2013 interview with Vice, he further elaborated on the subject matter of the album. “It’s a lot of crazy shit. My album is catered to my life, you feel me? Shit that was really going on in my lifestyle, coming from where I come from, the West Coast, the culture out there. Gang banging, drugs, parties, and, just like every other culture, the same shit. It’s a lot of gang-banging going on, it’s shooting going on, it’s robbing going on. It’s fucking bitches. All that shit,” he said. As promised, My Krazy Life is littered with songs that see YG spitting bars about different aspects of his life. Admittedly, the harsh realities addressed in the project would turn some listeners away. However, many others continue to appreciate the grittiness and raw honesty YG showcased on My Krazy Life.
Many heads and hands came together to assist YG in creating this body of work. DJ Mustard handled the majority of the production with further contributions made by Metro Boomin, Ty Dolla Sign, Mike Free, B Wheezy, C. Ballin, Terrace Martin, and Chordz. Altogether, they built the soundscape of My Krazy Life, giving YG room to go as hard as he wanted on each track. The 17-track album also includes guest appearances from several artists. All four singles released from My Krazy Life have guest features. These songs are “My N***a” ft. Jeezy & Rich Homie Quan, “Left, Right” ft. DJ Mustard, “Who Do You Love” ft. Drake, and “Do It to Ya” ft. TeeFlii. Undeniably, these four tracks are among the album’s best songs. Other standout tracks are “Sorry Momma” ft. Ty Dolla Sign, “Bompton”, and “Really Be” ft. Kendrick Lamar.
The Lasting Success Of My Krazy Life
In the years since its release, this album has solidified itself as a modern-day classic. When YG dropped My Krazy Life in 2014, there was no telling how successful it would become. However, the album is undeniably one of the most beloved projects he has ever released. It remains his best-selling album for a reason. It is also still his highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number two. In its own way, this album has left an indelible mark on the Hip Hop landscape, and will surely still be remembered for years to come. YG now has multiple stellar albums to his name, but he certainly set the bar high with My Krazy Life in 2014.
And this is why you don’t listen to The Shade Room, or any of those Instagram gossip accounts, really. I have harped on the subject of reliable sources for months and months and stuff like this is why.
During YG and Tyga’s set at Rolling Loud California this past weekend, YG brought Saweetie onstage, where they got cozy and exchanged declarations of love.
The two West Coast rappers were rumored to be dating after collaborating together on multiple songs. Then, in May 2023, they were spotted taking a romantic vacation in Cabo. Since then, they’ve been seemingly inseparable, teaming up with Tyga for the Str8 To The Club tour last autumn and collaborating again on Saweetie’s summer single “Birthday” (again with Tyga).
Saweetie has been more actively promoting her solo music this year, releasing the single “Richtivities” and collaborating with fellow Bay Area native P-Lo for the 49ers playoff anthem “Do It For The Bay.” It certainly sounds like she’s rebooting her album rollout, which could mean that her long-awaited debut project is on the way.
Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
YG and Saweetie are apparently still going strong, as the former brought the latter out during his Rolling Loud performance in Los Angeles on Friday (March 15). Moreover, rumors and reports previously indicated that the two went their separate ways in early January, but their onstage PDA suggests that they either changed their minds or never broke up in the first place. “I love you girl,” the Cali rapper told his fellow Cali rapper as she made her way offstage following their steamy interlude. The two have been together since around May of 2023, and with their anniversary coming up, maybe their bond will feel stronger than ever.
However, we can’t say that this reunion is all that surprising, considering that fans were already starting to put two and two together. For example, Saweetie’s recent Instagram post from back in February had fans thinking that she hadn’t broken up with YG yet. Not only that, but news of their split was coming from other sources and reports that weren’t either of the MCs directly. As such, there were plenty of reasons to wait and see what they did, and we’re glad we waited to get this Rolling Loud guest slot.
Elsewhere, both artists are celebrating a lot these days and basking in their success and acclaim. For Saweetie, this recently manifested in a new single “Richtivities,” a stunning appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, and an alleged incident with Cardi B at this event. This is just more hearsay and gossip, but one that’s also based on fan interpretation of the Bronx rapper’s recount. Perhaps we’ll never know if they really ran into each other here.
Meanwhile, the Still Brazy spitter was one of many guests on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1. Their collab “DO IT” is among the more fun and bouncy cuts on the record, even if its second half is pretty much just “Back That Azz Up.” But can’t we all revisit what we love? Seems like this couple took a cue from those sessions. Fo more news and the latest updates on YG and Saweetie, come back to HNHH.
Last year, Saweetie and YG spent a few months as one of the most noteworthy new couples in rap. The pair were repeatedly spotted stepping outside for nights on the town in stunning fits together. They collaborated on music and were even planning on touring together alongside Tyga, though it was additionally canceled. Rumor has it that the cause of the tour being canceled was low ticket sales and the bad news for the pair kept coming.
Earlier this year the two officially called it quits. In their statement announcing the breakup they were both very cordial seeming to agree that they wanted to continue being friends but things were better separate. That professionalism started to seep into drama almost immediately. In the days following the breakup YG was in the comments of other celebrities seemingly shooting his shot. Meanwhile, Saweetie was spotted sitting courtside at a basketball game with Chris Brown. But a new Instagram post has fan thinking she might by cryptically hinting at a reunion with the “Brand New” rapper. Check out the post and some fan reactions to it below.
In a new Instagram post, Saweetie sports and all white fit and poses next to a red lambo. The car has a big red bow on the hood, implying that it was given to her as a gift. “spin the block in the lambo” the caption of her post reads. Unsurprisingly, the post led to immediate speculation that YG might be involved.
“My n*gga’ YG pulled out the Lambo for the sweetesttttt bish in the world” one of the top comments on the post reads. It’s far from the only one suggesting that there could be a reunion but so far there doesn’t seem to be any official confirmation from either artist. What do you think of Saweetie’s new Instagram post? Do you think she may be subtly hinting to fans that she got back together with YG? Let us know in the comment section below.
Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have finally dropped their collaborative album Vultures, the first in what’s supposed to be a series of album drops. Two more collab volumes are supposedly on the way, plus a Ye solo album called Y3; that last one is according to EPMD legend Erick Sermon. While we’ll never believe a Kanye album rollout until we actually get a release, it’s at least nice to see folks fully react to these new tracks. Moreover, one of the most fun and simple bops on the whole project is “Do It,” which features guest vocals from Nipsey Hussle and YG. Nip’s appearance is actually a sample from the late legend’s leaked song “I Just Wanna Know” song with Cardi B and Ty himself.
That section opens up the track, which then goes into a party banger with a West Coast bounce, soaring string-like embellishments, and haunting background vocals. Ty Dolla Sign delivers a killer hook melody and previews the song’s hedonistic and lustful themes. To no one’s surprise, Kanye West indulges in this theme with no hesitation, including some cheeky lines about Apple Pay. YG does his thing towards the end with a nonchalant demeanor over a beat that sounds perfectly suited to his style. Along with the likes of “Fuk Sumn,” this record encompasses what makes Vultures a fun listen, albeit one that is pretty one-note.
Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Do It” With YG: Listen
Meanwhile, amid rumors that the duo will hold another listening event for Vultures in Las Vegas for Super Bowl weekend, maybe we’re far from done with this rollout. After all, we apparently have more projects to listen to, and more bangers to discover. If nothing else, Kanye West, Ty Dolla Sign, and YG prove that they can still make a simple hit without resorting to grandiosity or controversy. If you haven’t heard “Do It” or the rest of Vultures yet, find it on your preferred streaming service… unless they took it down again. Peep some notable lines down below and, as always, check back in with HNHH for more great music releases around the clock.
Quotable Lyrics Spendin’ all this money like it’s free to me, That s**t fall off trees to me, We ain’t even stress, we the new kings and sheiks, We done made a mess, they gon’ have to clean for weeks
For several months, the relationship between Saweetie and YG has attracted public interest, notably exciting fans of the couple. Both prominent figures in the Hip Hop and staples on the West Coast, the pair captivated the hearts of many while they were together. However, recent development seems to prove that their romantic journey together may have come to an end. While fans were rooting for the couple, their relationship unfortunately lasted less than a year. Nevertheless, they seem to be ending things on a good note, so a win is a win. From its inception to its eventual end, here’s a timeline of YG and Saweetie’s relationship.

After being spotted together at an event in California on March 5, 2023, speculations started flying about the two being in a relationship. Subsequently, Saweetie’s appearance at YG’s all-red birthday party on March 8 slightly intensified the rumors. Many celebrities were in attendance, and the pair didn’t show any public displays of affection. As such, the rumors were largely unfounded. However, some fans insisted that the two were romantically involved. While it remains unclear if the two were already together in March, the speculating fans were soon proved right.
April 2023: More Public Appearances Fueling Dating Rumors
Following the first weekend of Coachella 2023, the Jasmine Brand reported that Saweetie and YG were seen getting cozy at the festival. If the dating rumors had been dying out, this news certainly brought them back to life. Subsequently, on April 18, the two were spotted again at Lala’s Wafflehouse in Indio, California. While Saweetie tried to mask her identity, fans always managed to recognize their fave. Altogether, their repeated sightings as a pair started making the rumors seem credible, and more people started believing them.
May 2023: Relationship Confirmation, And A Mexican Baecation
By May 2023, the rumors had been going strong for about two months, and neither rapper confirmed nor denied them. However, towards the end of the month, the pair made a statement with their actions rather than words. Before May, they had never been caught being too affectionate, but that changed on May 30 when certain pictures surfaced. The photos shared revealed that the couple were on vacation in Cabo, Mexico. These photos also showed that they were finally being public with their displays of affection.
July – September 2023: The Couple’s First Public Date And Joint Tour Announcement

YG and Saweetie made their public debut as a couple in early July 2023. While the two stepped out to have dinner at Craig’s in WeHo, the paparazzi caught them. However, they didn’t mind at all, and walked hand-in-hand, as the footage shows. Soon after, they announced their upcoming Str8 to the Klub Tour with Tyga. It was set to kick off in September 2023, and finish in Las Vegas on November 21, 2023.
September – December 2023: YG And Saweetie Seemingly On The Rocks
Following their tour announcement in July, fans of the rap couple were excited to see their faves perform. However, in an unexpected turn of events, fans found out later in September that the tour had been canceled. In addition, it was soon discovered that the pair were no longer following each other on Instagram. As expected, this set fans into a speculating spree once again, with many suggesting that they had broken up. However, on December 28, they were spotted together at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This sighting eased the breakup rumors, but only slightly.
On January 15, 2024, it was reported that YG and Saweetie had called it quits on their relationship. Moreover, YG was also spotted on his ex Kehlani’s comment section on Instagram. After his and Saweetie’s last sighting in December, this news came out of left field. However, it did not completely take fans by surprise as many had suspected that their romance was on shaky ground. Sources have told The Shade Room that the two decided to focus on their careers, and split amicably. However, YG seemingly shut down the rumors afterward when he shared two clips of himself and Saweetie getting cozy at a Beyonce concert.
Though Hollywood power couples can often be incredibly messy, rappers and R&B singers can sometimes go together like peanut butter and jelly. Artists such as A$AP Rocky and Rihannahave proven success in this field, while the likes of YG and Kehlani were only officially dating for a few short months. Though the “Konclusions” vocalists stunned media outlets with their undeniable charisma, their brief fling ultimately failed to last long enough to join the ranks of Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Here’s a full timeline of YG and Kehlani’s short-lived relationship.
2014: The Pair Meet As Their Careers Begin To Reach New Heights
Although the precise details of their initial encounter are unclear, rumors suggest YG and Kehlani first connected during music industry events in 2014. Kehlani confirmed this once the pair began dating in 2019, stating she had known the rapper for over five years, since the respective releases of their 2014 albums Cloud19 and My Krazy Life.
In fact, Kehlani stated that YG hollered at her long before they started seeing each other. However, she had no interest in dating him at the time due to her aversion to celebrity couples and “industry people.”
September 6, 2019: YG & Kehlani Confirm That They Are Dating
The pair stepped out at New York Fashion Week in September 2019, holding hands and showing each other affection in front of the cameras. When asked if they were an official couple, Kehlani coyly offered an affirmative response. This shocked some fans, as each of the musicians had recently welcomed children with other people. Kehlani gave birth to her first child in March 2019, whom she shares with guitarist Javie Young-White. YG conversely welcomed his second daughter with Catelyn Sparks in July of the same year.
October 2019: YG Is Caught Cozying Up With Another Woman

After unveiling their relationship to the world, the Compton, California rapper caught attention by canoodling with a female fan on camera in Los Angeles. Reps for YG took to The Shade Room to make a statement on his behalf, while the rapper himself shared a now-deleted Instagram story that read, “I love Kehlani I would never.” According to his PR team, YG “was drunk, got carried away and it was very regretful for putting himself in that situation and hurting Kehlani. He has no romantic connection to the girl, just a drunken moment carried away.”
Though Kehlani didn’t comment publicly about the situation, she took to social media to delete several images of the pair spending time together. However, the controversy didn’t end their relationship, as they continued to see each other without problems for at least another month.
In early December, roughly a month and a half after the Los Angeles incident, Kehlani announced her breakup to the world. The singer, who was 24 years old at the time, took to social media to assure fans, “I am single. and focused.” This announcement came after some fans speculated Kehlani had become romantically involved with Tory Lanez, which she voraciously denied. Kehlani clarified that she met Lanez to collaborate on a song, though the two never shared a romance of any kind.
YG and Kehlani would get back together shortly after this time, though the exact date is unknown to the public. Suffice it to say, their December breakup didn’t last long, as the couple were once again in each other’s arms before February.
February 13, 2020: The Pair Reconcile & Release A Song Together
YG and Kehlani got back together and released a lovey-dovey song titled “Konclusions” on February 13, 2020, just in time for Valentine’s Day. The song confirmed to the public that their relationship was officially back on, substantiating earlier rumors that the rapper had gotten Kehlani’s name tattooed on his wrist just a week before. The song features lyrics such as “When I say I love you, that means I love you. No matter what conclusion we come to, I’m the one you run to” highlighting their dedication to one another.
February 17, 2020: Kehlani Announces Her Breakup From YG With A New Song
Just days later, Kehlani released a heartbreaking song titled “Valentine’s Day (Shameful),” which features lyrics regarding infidelity in a relationship. The singer would go on to express to fans that the lyrics are very literal to her relationship with YG and describe the events leading to their ultimate breakup. Further, Kehlani has since clarified that she and YG ended on good terms and have agreed to not make things awkward when they cross paths in public or at music events. Though the pair made such a splash as a couple, they are no longer close following the breakup.
January 16, 2024: YG Flirts In Kehlani’s Instagram Comments
Now, nearly four years after the split, YG has ignited rumors that the pair might get back together. This news comes as reports stated YG and Saweetie have split, though the rapper now denies that this is the case. During the time these reports were circulating, YG commented on a gym selfie from Kehlani, using just the “OK” hand emoji. Though this flirtatious comment aroused confusion from fans, YG claims he and Saweetie are still together, so nothing ultimately came of the interaction.
Saweetie is getting back to the bars. Hitting Instagram, she teased the “Immortal” freestyle set to drop this coming Monday. You can get a taste of it below.
The relationship between YG and Saweetie is over. According to The Shade Room, Saweetie and YG calling off their romance was a mutual decision, and they believe they can remain good friends.
Additionally, the two are said to have been focused on advancing their careers and are extremely busy.
YG and Saweetie kept the rumor mill churning about a potential romance between the two. In May, the two were spotted in Cabo, coupled up, enjoying a baecation.
The Shade Room spotted the two in a pool, cuddling up and kissing. YG had a fitted-on hugging Saweetie from behind in one photo. Another catches him kissing the “Tap In” star on her neck.
Previously, the two were spotted at Coachella and caught eyes, sparking rumors about their status. Before that, YG hosted a birthday party, which Saweetie also attended.
