Saweetie has made it clear that music is her main focus at this point in her career, despite people online urging her to pivot.
On Friday (February 23), a fan responded to a post about her new single “Richtivities” by writing: “I wish she’d be a model or sum….”

In a quote tweet of the above comment, she shared a clip from last month’s “Immortal Freestyle” in which she raps: “I know y’all bitches wish I would go model, but damn.”
When another fan posted, “Saweetie is so gorgeous she should just be a model,” the California native replied with a concise “no.”
Despite her commitment to music, the 30-year-old rapper and singer has received tons of praise for her fashion. Last year, she made it into the Grammy Museum for her contributions to the aesthetics of Hip Hop, as her nails were honored by the institution.
Last October, the “Icy Girl” hitmaker shared a clip of her and nail artist Temeka Jackson showing off their very own display item at the Los Angeles building.

The installment exhibiting the blinged-out nails supplemented with a write-up that reads: “The use of bespoke jewelry, nail piercings, and bamboo hoops have long been a foundation of fashion and hip hop style. But the creative collaboration of celebrity nail artist Temeka Jackson and Bay Area rapper Saweetie has taken nails to stunning new heights.”
“my nails made it to the Grammy museum !!!!” she captioned an Instagram video of her next to the display. “we did that @customtnails1 & thank you @recordingacademy for having us a part of Hip-Hop history IKDR !!!!!!”

Despite being recognized for her style, Saweetie has sometimes been at the receiving end of brutal roasts for the very same thing. The month prior to being honored at the museum, she found herself at the mercy of peoples’ jokes after she showed up to the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in a cartoon-like outfit and stumbled through her teleprompter segment.
In early September, she appeared on the pink carpet in a rose-colored dress which was being held together by two large bones reminiscent of the ones in the 1960s hit cartoon show, The Flintstones.

In addition to her Stone Age dress, she also had a difficult time reading the teleprompter at the show.
“We’ve got more…” she began. “We’ve got more from your favorite nominees. More glitz, more glam, and definitely more music. Coming your way, right after the break. You’re not gonna wanna… You’re not gonna wanna miss what we have up, coming on the VMA pre-show. I know that’s right. Stay tuned baby.”
Fans did not take it easy on the rap starlet in the comments section once The Shade Room reposted the footage on Instagram.
“She said she has a bone to pick,” one person wrote, while another added: “YabbaDabbaDon’t wear that again!”

Someone else chimed in, writing: “She got a whole TRex bone attached to her neck,” and a fourth commenter shared a similar sentiment, joking: “That’s a BBL bone.”
