Saweetie graced the cover of the latest Cosmopolitan issue on Tuesday (March 23), but the “ICY GRL” rapper wasn’t talking about her headline-grabbing breakup with Quavo just yet. Instead, Saweetie spoke on her plans to continue leveling-up and take over the music industry.
While the wins continue to pile up for the Bay Area native, Saweetie still wanted to confront those throwing the “pretty privilege” label on her in an attempt to discredit her success because of her looks.
“I won’t act like there isn’t a certain type of power that comes with people admiring your face,” she said. “But that’s not something that gets me off. I like being Female Athlete of the Year. I like getting 4.0s for a straight year. I like knowing that I write my own songs. I like knowing that I create my own treatments. I like knowing that I donated $150,000 to Black Lives Matter.”
Maintaining that mentality has inspired the creation of Saweetie’s official debut album, Pretty Bitch Music, which is expected to release this spring.
“It’s my way of taking back all those years where I feel I had to dim my light,” she explained.
Saweetie also reflected on getting “PTSD” following her botched 2018 Hot 97 freestyle, which drew the ire of morning show host Ebro Darden.
“It was a really dark point in my life,” she admitted. “I went from being so loved so quickly because of ‘Icy Grl’ to, on my first promo run, well, you saw the interview. The script flipped really quick, like night and day. I was like, Wait…I had PTSD from that.”
The 27-year-old confirmed her love story with Quavo had come to an end on Friday (March 19) with a tweet suggesting he’d been unfaithful.
Saweetie Confirms Quavo Breakup: 'Love Isn’t Real When The Intimacy Is Given To Other Women'
“I’m single,” Saweetie wrote. “I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.”
I see yall get yall gossip news on.. change the name to HHyaaaas
I agree with this statement.
She’s a recalled ThotPocket. She’s not even worth the 2.00 Walmart Rollback price if you tried to get a refund. Don’t nobody want a used Thot, that’s like buying a used condom. Her worth, really…she marketed herself a golddigging thot and now she’s trying to justify it. GTFOH.
With no make up this joint busted. Look like a NY pothole
That needs to always be filled
Juggs…now.
This young man can really Sing
I wouldn’t fuck her with a dogs dick!
LMFAO you are definitely not fucking anything better and more than likely never have and never will! You just hating because you know you never have a chance of getting with her given the opportunity she would reject you!
What an odd way to “white knight” lol no man of any worth would touch that regardless of looks. She is not a high quality woman that’s obvious to anyone who hears her talk. She’s just another face who thinks she has high value which entitles her to certain things. You can be pretty and a btch but you will always be trumped by someone who is pretty and a good person. There is nothing uglier to a man than someone who is so openly entitled they don’t even feel the need to make an effort as a human being…
People like you just encourage them.
Shut your SIMP caping ass the fuck up cockhead
She must be double jointed with the way she pats herself on the back!
Who?
How much did those fakers cost?
