Khia Says Saweetie Didn’t Do Justice To “My Neck My Back”

Saweetie claims sampling is her “specialty” but some of the artists she’s sampled in the past may have simply cleared her record for the cheque. Khia, specifically, took issue with the Bay Area rapper’s 2018 single, “Icy Girl,” which samples “My Neck My Back.” During an interview with Jamari Bailey over the weekend, Khia shared her stance on people sampling her hit record but Saweetie got the worst of it. “Least favorite would be Saweetie – sweet pea. I don’t like her, I don’t think she did it any justice,” she said. “I didn’t even like green sweet peas when I was young.”

Unfortunately for the “Best Friend” rapper, she continues to face backlash for her musical efforts. However, she’s certainly not the only person to sample “My Neck My Back” in recent times. Besides Saweetie, YG and City Girls have sampled the hit song by Khia for records like “Pop It” and “F*ck That N***a,” respectively. The Thug Misses rapper said both records were “okay,” but she said nothing’s really stood out. “Nobody have gave it justice yet,” she said.

Khia Checks Saweetie 

It seems unlikely that the Bay Area rapper will air out this issue or even acknowledge it online unless she really wants to spark a war on social media. However, there’s a good chance Khia’s name will be brought up in Saweetie’s next interview. The single, “Icy Girl,” arrived on Saweetie’s High Maintenance EP. However, the use of the sample turned into Saweetie’s claim to fame as months before her EP dropped, a viral clip of her freestyling to Khia’s record began to circulate online.

The “Tap In” songstress has undoubtedly came a long way since her debut EP. However, we’ve yet to get an update on her debut album, Pretty Bitch Music. At this point, it seems like the pressure’s weighing on her to deliver. This seems especially true after the criticism surrounding her low sales from her EP last year. “It’s a balance of just, um, excitement and stress because I want to put it out, but it’s also just that stress of like, dang, I been on the scene for awhile,” she told E! News. Check out the comments Khia made about Saweetie above.
