Saweetie recently took part in an interview with Vulture at a restaurant in West Hollywood, during which she was interrupted by a man who’s described in the article as “older and square — nice suit, no discernible personality other than white and libidinous — with a younger woman tugging at his sleeve when he shows up at our table.”

“You are the most exciting person I’ve ever seen in L.A.,” he told Saweetie. “I mean, the hair, the nails, the lashes — the whole thing. You guys going downstairs, or…?”
She thanked him, then after telling him her name upon his request, he pressed her but she deflected. “It’s okay,” she said. “I’ll see you downstairs.”
After stumbling away, her publicist and assistant, along with the interviewer, laughed, but Saweetie just went back to doing what she was doing before: eating oysters.
Elsewhere in the profile, Saweetie talked about her upcoming debut album, Pretty Bitch Music, and the attention to detail she’s putting into every song.
“This is the first time I’m releasing 17-plus songs,” she said. “It’s a lot to live with. That’s a lot to consume. In an era of ‘When’s the last classic album you’ve heard?,’ music is like toilet water: flushed in, flushed out, flushed in, flushed out. It’s either ‘You shittin’?’ or ‘You done shittin’?’

“When I put on ‘Love to Love You Baby,’ by Donna Summer, it immediately makes me feel sexy. It immediately makes me want to get naked. It immediately makes me want to pour glitter all over my body. The challenge that I’m setting for myself is that I want every song to make someone do something. That’s why I’m regrouping. I’m going to put every song under a microscope.”
She added, “When it comes through your speakers and when it enters into your soul and into your system and into your ears, I want you to feel something. I don’t want you to just want to twerk and hit a one-two step and do a TikTok challenge.”

With her new project on the horizon, Saweetie took to Instagram on Wednesday (July 7) to share photos from her Wonderland cover story.
