‘Best Friend’ beauty Saweetie has long felt she hasn’t had a friend in one of music’s top DJs – Ebro Darden.

The longtime host of Hot 97’s ‘Ebro in the Morning’ made the rising rapstress go viral in 2018 when he referred to her on-air freestyle as “basic” – an occurence she recently told ‘Cosmopolitan’ gave her PTSD.

“It was a really dark point in my life,” Saweetie said in the mag’s April 2021 edition. “I went from being so loved so quickly because of ‘Icy Girl’ to, on my first promo run, well, you saw the interview. The script flipped really quick, like night and day. I had PTSD from that.”

As hoopla around her recount of that incident began to heat up, Darden just so happened to go on Twitter rant about the state of music.

The ‘Sorry Not Singer’ not only covers Vogue Mexico but Paper Magazine as well. Lensed by Art Streiber for Vogue and Dana Trippe for Paper Magazine.

Saweetie has been on a steady grind and has been reaping rewards accordingly.

In covering the April issue of Cosmopolitan, the femcee opens up about the peaks and troughs of her journey thus far.

Her career is unquestionably on the ascend thanks to bops such as ‘My Type,’ ‘Tap In,’ and ‘Best Friend’ – the latter of which is on the cusp of breaking into the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100.

Yet, the challenges have been plentiful.

Speaking candidly, she opens up about being chastised about her abilities – as a rapper and performer. Still, she says both have helped put her on the trajectory of becoming “one of the best.”

Over its 62-year history, the Hot 100 has repeatedly proven itself to be a boys club.  But thanks to artists like Mariah Carey, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Rihanna, and other musical leading ladies, the playing field gets a little more even every year.

For evidence, one needn’t look much further than rapstress Cardi B – who recently nabbed her fifth chart-topper on the tally thanks to her latest single, ‘Up.’

No stranger to racing into history books, the historic accomplishment not only made her the first female rapper in history to have two Hot 100 #1 hits without a credited supporting feature but it also extended her record of most chart-toppers among female rappers (5).

And while she holds that title by her lonesome, there are other historic achievements attained by ‘Up’ that puts her in prestigious, Girl Powered company.
