 Saweetie Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

This week is a defining moment in my career as Saweetie, and the headlines prove it. I just made history by becoming ESPN’s first-ever woman Monday Night Football music curator. According to People Magazine, I’ll be handpicking tracks for some of the biggest NFL games this season, which means my influence isn’t just for the hip-hop charts—it’s reaching new territory on live television and sports culture. At ESPN’s Red Nail Bar pop-up in LA this weekend, fans celebrated the partnership with “Saweet” treats and bold manicures in the classic ESPN Red, done by my longtime nail artist Temeka Jackson. I told the crowd that football was the first sport I ever played, thanks to my family roots—my dad, grandfather, and uncles all played. So, I’m especially honored. While curating playlists, I teased that I might sneak a few of my own tracks into the mix and promise some surprises for the music fans tuning in.

For those keeping tabs on my music, my recent EP Hella Pressure is still making waves. Rap-Up reports that this five-track project dropped in early August and is my first major release in almost three years. It’s an “appetizer,” as I put it, before my much-anticipated debut album, which I’ve yet to confirm for 2025. Fans are hyped because with the EP, I showed off features like a TWICE collaboration and even sampled Young Buck; plus, I told Justin Credible that the record captures about 70 percent of my personality for the world to see. After months in “album mode,” it’s clear I’m in one of my most creative eras yet.

I just wrapped my first-ever Australian tour, performing in cities like Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney—a milestone for my international reach. The buzz was huge, with local press and fans alike raving about my energy and style.

On the fashion front, Office Magazine ran a special on my collaboration with Calvin Klein and Amazon Fashion for the “Icy Season,” featuring new choreography and exclusive online shopping experiences. Calvin Klein’s iconic underwear was front and center, accented by Amazon Live’s shoppable videos—blurring lines between entertainment and e-commerce with my signature flair.

In terms of public appearances, paparazzi caught me stepping out in Los Angeles last Thursday, looking glamorous in a red split-leg dress with silver heels and bold accessories, as Telegrafi noted. I keep my style comfy but always fierce.

Social media was buzzing too, as photos surfaced from a weekend yacht trip showing me and Joelle James living the “Icy life.” Rumors are swirling online about my recent breakup with rapper YG, although sources say the split was mutual—no drama, just moving on to greater things.
