American rapper Saweetie graces the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. The ICY GRL rapper is booked and busy after her breakup from Migos rapper Quavo.
Sharing the photos of the shoot to her Instagram page, the 27-year-old California native gushed about her experience on set. “Had so much fun shooting this thank you,” she captioned the set.
In the cover story interview, she spoke of her appreciation for making the mistakes she made at the time she made them. “I’m really grateful for my start,” said Saweetie. “Because the mistakes, the struggle, the grind—it allows me to appreciate the rewards that come now. Because I know what it feels like to sleep in motels, to drive and do promo, to be stressed out.”
On stepping into her purpose, she explained, “Last year was the year that I finally became comfortable in my own skin. I kind of figured out what my purpose was. I think it’s important to show little Black and brown girls that they can be successful in whatever they want to do. If I can do it, you can do it too.”
Speaking about the inspiration for the subject matter of her music, she explained the value of having a lot of money. “Money beats court cases, money buys medicine, money fixes potholes. Money puts food on the counter, and money keeps the heat and electricity going,” she declared.
