"I wanna fall in love for the weekend/ Three boyfriends, I don't know where I'm sleepin'/ We be thuggin', clubbin', f**kin'," she raps. In the H.E.R.-assisted track, she boasts about living carefree. Saweetie, whose real name is Diamonte Quiava Valentin Harper, dropped "Closer" on Thursday. "Y'all can talk s**t about saweetie but she's getting bags all around," someone else then chimed in. It's gon play somewhere," another individual raved. It means hyphy, which means having a good time and turning up."Lmao I love her," one person gushed. I love what he did with “Thug Life,” and that’s what I want to do with “Bitch.” “Bitch” means independent, it means tough. And then going to “Bitch,” I love Tupac, I love him so much. So for me, I’m trying to change the meaning behind that. They treat people so bad they have no accountability for their attitude. Living in L.A., a lot of bad bitches are ugly to me. I’m also trying to change the discourse, because pretty, to me, is your aura, your energy, how you treat other people.

But now I’m coming into a moment where it’s just like, I’m going to be confident in my skin and I’m not going to feel bad about it. I didn’t really understand it because that’s definitely not how I was raised and my values don’t gear toward face value. I feel like I’ve had to play down my confidence because people – even before I entered the industry – were trying to associate me with pretty privilege. “Pretty” to me, it’s something that I’m owning now. “Pretty Bitch” is definitely a loaded meaning. I’m all for having a good time and owning your sexuality, but when they have to handle business, they handle their business.Ī post shared by does being a “pretty bitch” mean to you?
I mean, “Survivor” and “Bootylicious!” I feel like Destiny’s Child is my brand, but the rapper version. They were the pioneers for independent women. Your Halloween costume as all three members of Destiny’s Child went viral.
I’m all about empowering, I’m all about having a good time and I’m all about just being me, unapologetically. And by superhero, I mean a superhero who goes out into the world, performs, entertains and takes care of people. I think my artist persona is the superhero version of me.
I’ve had to figure out, who is Saweetie, what does she stand for and what does she want to talk about? So, who is Saweetie?

But I really had to figure out my Saweetie sound, because I’m not going to come out with an album full of samples. I love to sample, because I do draw inspiration from other artists and their energy. How have you applied that experience to creating your own original songs? You started your career by posting videos on social media of you freestyling over other songs. But, oh my god! Girl, I refuse to do the platypus dance. So I love that they keep inspiring me to be creative.
There’s only so much you can do yourself, and I always pull creativity from life, other people, creative influences – just everywhere. I love when the users come up with a challenge, a dance or something creative that inspires me. What I love about the app is that TikTok kind of allows me to just be the super fun, goofy version of Saweetie. How does TikTok allow you to connect with your fans, and what do you think of the “Phineas and Ferb” Dr.
