Saweetie is gearing up for the release of her brand-new single ‘Nani.’
Teased in earnest, the track serves as the latest taste of the femcee’s long-awaited album debut.
After being roped into the Chris Brown – Quavo feud with mentions in songs by both stars, the rapper seized the moment to ramp up the buzz for her own material.
And it’s almost time to serve it up.
For, with ‘Nani’ arriving this Friday (May 17), Saweetie has unwrapped its official artwork.

Despite canceling their ‘Str8 to the Klub Tour,’ rappers YG and Tyga are moving forward with their joint effort ‘Hit Me When U Leave the Klub’ by giving its housed cut, ‘Brand New,’ the music video treatment.
Directed by Jack Bridgland, the Vegas-set clip – which features a verse from Hip Hop heavyweight Lil Wayne – opens with an appearance from GRAMMY-nominated femcee Saweetie before launching into a gallery of eye candy.
“Burn through the money, diamonds dance like Usher / You ain’t gotta like it, but my b-tch gon’ love it,” Tyga raps over the sampled track which borrows elements from Rhymefest and Kanye West’s duet also titled ‘Brand New.’

Nearly two years have separated fans of Gwen Stefani from traditional new music, but the Queen of Ska Pop gave her fans a royal surprise Friday (June 23) when she lifted the lid on the new song ‘True Babe.’
Her first single since 2021’s Saweetie-assisted ‘Slow Clap,’ ‘True’ stays sonically true to Gwen’s signature formula of anthemic flavor while being decorated with romantic lyrics in dedication to Country superstar husband Blake Shelton.
“I wanna fly to your shows / Wanna wake up in your clothes / Come get you tipsy at 6:30 / Wanna take tonight slow / Yeah, it’s alright in my life / ‘Cause it’s true, babe, true, babe,” she sings on the track produced by KThrash and Swedish duo Jack & Coke.

With its #40 peak on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop chart, ‘Hey Mickey!’ is waving hello to being Baby Tate‘s highest-charting hit as a leading act yet.
Her bid to hoist the resurgent tune to even higher heights on the tally came recently with the unveiling of the official music video of the 2016-released bop’s remix which features GRAMMY-nominated rapstress Saweetie.
As fans of both femcees continue to get acquainted with the Chandler Lass-directed clip, they’ve been invited to take a peek on the other side of the lens to see how all the magic happened.

Before Rihanna turns heads at Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium with her sure-to-be-epic Super Bowl Halftime Show next Sunday (February 12), Saweetie is hoping you’ll tap, tap, tap into the metaverse to see her rock the virtual stage in Roblox.

After suffering ridicule for the commercial nonperformance of her latest effort, ‘The Single Life‘ (as we reported here), ‘Back to the Streets’ beauty Saweetie is headed back to the lab to quickly crank out its follow-up.
As her fans (affectionately called the #ICYGang) already know, the Rap diva has completed her serially delayed debut album, ‘Pretty B*tch Music,’ but ‘Single Life’ was meant to tide them over until other logistics were worked out with the LP.
Some of those “logistics” include securing features, mixing tracks , and more.
During the promo run for ‘Single Life’ the GRAMMY nominee also opened up about a number of upcoming projects she has in the works like doing more singing, releasing Christmas music, experimenting with collaborations with Latin artists, and so much more.
Not defeated by the flack for the recently-released EP, look inside to hear Saweetie share about what her sights are on.
Saweetie is hitting back at the sour response to sales of her new EP ‘The Single Life.’
Announced with less than a day’s notice, the six-track set arrived as a bridge of sorts to the rapper’s long-awaited album debut ‘Pretty B*tch Music.’
As can be the case with “surprise” sets (and similar), it appears the lack of heads-up may have been the cause of the project’s less-than-stellar sales. Indeed, it’s believed the project only shifted 2000 units in the US first week.
The numbers (or lack thereof) sparked debut in earnest on social media – with everyone from fans to Joe Budden to fellow artists weighing in.
Now, Saweetie is offering her two cents.
See what she had to say below…
With Migos seemingly behind them for good, Quavo and Takeoff are looking to take off as a duo – as evidenced by the absence of Offset on the new album, ‘Only Built for Infinity Links.’
Released Friday (October 7), the 18-track set – preceded by housed tunes ‘Big Stunna,’ ‘Us vs. Them,‘ and the Gold-certified ‘Hotel Lobby’ – features Summer Walker, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Birdman, Young Thug, Gunna, and more.
And while there are quite a few numbers on the project that are getting fans talking, it seems none are doing so quite like ‘Messy,’ which is believed to contain disses to Yung Miami of the City Girls and Quavo’s ex, Saweetie.
“I said, “Caresha please” ’cause she too messy/ B***h f**k my dawg behind my back, but I ain’t stressin’/ You wanted the gang, you shoulda just said it, we would have blessed it/ Now shit got messy,” Quavo raps on the tune in seeming reference to Saweetie’s recent visit to Miami’s podcast, ‘Caresha Please.’
That’s not all he said. Look inside to stream ‘Messy’ and its parent album courtesy of Apple Music.
John Legend celebrates his ‘Wonder Woman,’ wife Chrissy Teigen, in the video for his brand new single.
Lifted from the crooner’s eighth studio album ‘Legend,’ the song and its family-focussed visual are billed as a tribute to the power and grace of women.
The clip, which was shot in Tuscany, Italy, arrives on the couple’s 9th wedding anniversary.
Poetically, Nabil Elderkin – who introduced the pair in 2006 and directed ‘All of Me’ (Legend’s 2013 ode to Teigen) – is once again at the directorial helm of this video.
