On this week’s episode of Call Her Daddy, Alex Cooper sits down with millennial rapper Saweetie, who opens up about her current approach to relationships, the craziest way she caught a partner cheating on her, when you should keep gifts from an ex and why she might be done dating rappers. She also discusses her love of hot Cheetos, the time she was renting rooms from Craigslist, coding on Myspace, and her new music.
The Cali rapper talks about how she is perceived by the public, saying, “I would say in the earlier on in my career, I would say, I would just disassociate myself from Saweetie ’cause there’s Diamonté and there’s Saweetie. I’m like, “Okay, if y’all knew Diamonté, to know me is to love me.” She adds, “Y’all wouldn’t be doing all this shitty stuff to me. So, at first, it was disassociation, but now I’m just so at peace with just who I am. I’m like, “God knows my heart,” and as long as God knows my heart, there’s no problem.”
When it comes to dating, Saweetie jokes that her only companion is her career. “I am seeing somebody….Their name starts with a C… Do you want to know their name?…My career, girl.” She goes on to say, “I just feel like I’m at a really special time in my career and I just have all these ideas and I want to channel my energy in a way where I feel like I can make the steps to where I see myself going and you know, I’m just really happy right now. I’m happy where my life is heading, so I’m dating my career.”

Over the weekend, YG and Saweetie showed that there is trouble in paradise when the couple had a vicious verbal altercation, causing the authorities to be called to their Los Angeles home.
The L.A. Sheriff’s Dept. reported that an argument between the two rappers got so loud Saturday afternoon that someone called them “out of concern”. Deputies arrived on the scene and separated YG and Saweetie just to find out that the couple got into a spat over cell phone drama.
The deputies determined that there was no physical violence, but there was obviously a very loud, boisterous argument. A noncriminal report was taken to document the incident, but no crimes were committed.
These two were originally confirmed as a dynamic duo back in April 2023 after being spotted hugged up at Coachella.
Neither YG or Saweetie have commented on the skirmish at their residence.
Saweetie is revealing what inspired her anthem, “Richtivities.” Speaking with Jen for an Audacy Check-In at the Hard Rock Hotel New York, Sawettie revealed that the release came from a yacht fun day.
“‘Richtivities’ came from [being] on a yacht with my home girls. We drank champagne, rode jet skis [and] ordered food to the boat. It was a crazy experience, and I was like, ‘this is a richtivity’ like a rich activity,” she said. “That’s what inspired that song. The underlying message is that if you work hard, this is what you reach. You reap the rewards of working hard. It’s a song to celebrate your wins or listen to when trying to reach certain goals.”
Listen to the Audacy Check-In below to hear Saweetie detail the story, her soundtrack to life, and more.
Saweetie unveiled “Richtivities” track under ICY/Warner Records. The song adds another dimension to the Northern California artist’s musical catalog with its infectious beat, confident lyrics, and undeniable swagger.
In “Richtivities,” Saweetie celebrates the empowerment of “pretty bitches” acronymized as B.I.T.C.H. (Boss, Intelligent, Tough, CEO, Hyphy), encouraging listeners to embrace their success and live boldly.
The release coincided with Saweetie’s exciting announcement of her role in the third season of Starz’s acclaimed series ‘BMF,’ alongside Ne-Yo and 2 Chainz. Saweetie portrays Keeya, a former college athlete with ties to the streets of St. Louis. The show, executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson for G-Unit Film and Television in collaboration with Lionsgate Television, promises riveting drama and stellar performances.
After teasing her highly anticipated single on social media, Grammy®-nominated, multi-platinum rap star Saweetie treats fans to the feel-good summer anthem “NANi.” Produced by Jean-Baptiste, Karl Rubin, Shawn Wasabi, Ryland Blackington, and Ryan Buendia, the track’s infectious beat and Saweetie’s aspirational bars make for a dancefloor hit.
Inspired by a viral Lady Gaga interview clip, Saweetie gets the girls ready for a busy summer on the pre-hook: “Plane, sprinter, glam, to the club, backdoor section, shots, another club/Two shows, one night, what’s that a hunnid plus.” The energetic lyrics and catchy rhythm are poised to dominate summer playlists.
Saweetie also releases a stunning music video to bring the single to life. Directed by Chandler Lass, the visual sees Saweetie hosting a summer pool party with her “NANi” girls, showcasing hypnotic dance moves and carefree energy. The vibrant video perfectly complements the song’s upbeat vibe, capturing the essence of a fun-filled, glamorous summer.
“‘NANi’ isn’t just a track; it’s the soundtrack to a good time,” Saweetie says. “This track def gives MAIN CHARACTER energy! <3 This single has been a labor of love, and it’s just the beginning. I’ve been working on this new music for a while, and I’m excited to share more of this journey with you.”
The back and forth on wax between R&B crooner Chris Brown and Migos member Quavo has taken another unexpected turn with another involved party; Quavo’s ex-girlfriend and Brown’s former fling Saweetie.
The “My Type” rapper took to X(formerly Twitter) after her former beau dropped his “H*es & Bitches” diss response aimed at Brown. In the song, Quavo rapped, “I can take a model bitch and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” insinuating that he turned her into the successful artist she is today.
Saweetie hit back by posting a screenshot of an unopened DM from Quavo, but the preview of the message reads, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie cynically captioned the screenshot, “Hopefully the model he turns into me replies.”
Brown used the failed relationship between the two in his weaponized bars against the “Bad And Boujee” rapper, claiming to have slept with her while Quavo was still with her.
“You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” CB rapped.
Saweetie and Quavo began dating back in 2018 but the couple called it quits in 2021 over allegations he cheated on her.
