Justin Bieber is definitely a man of his word.

As we reported here, at the top of the month he promised his fans (affectionately called #Beliebers) a new music video every week for a tune found aboard his latest chart-topping album, ‘Changes.’ This week marks no exception.

In addition to gracing headlines and magazine covers aplenty for being one of Rap music’s most promising breakout stars, ‘My Type’ maestra Saweetie has already seen her name typed alongside Platinum certifications by the RIAA and as a tenant of some of the Billboard Hot 100’s upper rungs.

Having made history for being one of ten female rappers to score a top 30 hit over the last decade, her entry into the exclusive club (which also includes Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, City Girls, Lizzo, Iggy Azalea, Young M.A., M.I.A., and Megan Thee Stallion) is just the tip of the iceberg, the rapstress (born Diamonté Qiava Valentin Harper) told That Grape Juice in an exclusive interview.

Thanks to the enduring successes of her first two EPs – ‘High Maintenance’ (2018) and ‘Icy’ (2019) – expectations for her official debut LP (due later this year) are at their highest.  However, if her ventures into fashion and acting are any indication, the album will be just one of many ventures Saweetie showcases this year that will meet and exceed the hype.

Ahead of her upcoming London show at Heaven on May 26th, she dished on her short, but storied career, her foray into fashion, next musical moves and so much more:

The British belter bills their take on the Donna Summer track as “the highest I’ve ever sung.” But also went onto share a deeper reasoning for recording the track:

“As a queer person ‘I feel love’ has followed me to every dance floor in every queer space from the minute I started clubbing. This song to me is an anthem of our community and it was an honour and most importantly so much fun to have a go at it…”
