About this listen
Saweetie is making headlines again this week with a blend of barrier-breaking business moves, candid interviews, and new music activity that reflect both her star power and her willingness to tackle tough subjects head-on. ESPN has just announced Saweetie as the first female music curator for Monday Night Football, a significant milestone not just for her, but for women in sports and entertainment history. As reported by multiple outlets including Revolt TV, the Times of India, and PEOPLE magazine, she’ll be handpicking tracks for live ESPN NFL broadcasts, promos, and the high-profile Monday Night Countdown, all season long. Fans got their first taste of this partnership at ESPN’s Red Nail Bar pop-up event in New York, where Saweetie’s go-to nail artist Temeka Jackson was on hand giving out themed manicures. Saweetie told PEOPLE in a widely circulated interview that football is a big part of her family’s legacy, with her father, uncles, and grandfather all having played at the college or NFL level, and she’s eager to inject her personal style and love of new music into America’s game. She’s teased that her collaboration with P-Lo, “Do It for the Bay,” is her pick for a walkout anthem, a clear nod to her Bay Area roots and devotion to the San Francisco 49ers.
On the music front, Saweetie is still promoting her latest project, the five-track EP “Hella Pressure,” released last month, while continuing to keep fans waiting for her much-anticipated debut album “Pretty B Music.” She hasn’t hesitated to poke fun at herself on social media, recently tweeting playfully that it’s “iconic” she’s managed so much success before dropping a true debut.
But the most talked-about subject is Saweetie’s recent string of interviews—especially her sitdown with Nessa Diab on Hot 97’s “Nessa On Air” on September 9, which went viral and set the agenda for hip-hop news and gossip this week. Saweetie spoke frankly about what she calls “pretty punishment,” explaining how her looks have at times worked against her in the industry, fuelling doubt and even resentment about her talent. Outlets like FOX 26 Houston and AllHipHop report her saying that being seen as “too pretty” is not always a privilege, and sometimes she’s simply “counted out” because of animosity or hidden agendas. She insisted this only makes her work harder, turning criticism into motivation, and doubling down on her commitment to prove herself in the male-dominated world of hip hop. Social media buzz has been a mix of support and skepticism, with detractors frequently chiming in on her rap skills. Saweetie remains undeterred, highlighting her work ethic, resilience, and a string of business ventures that underscore her range, from nail art to acting on the Starz series “BMF.”
Icy Girls, that’s the latest for Saweetie over the past few days. Thank you for listening to this episode of Saweetie Biography Flash. Don’t forget to subscribe to never miss an update, and search the term Biography Flash for more amazing biographies.
