Saweetie is reminding everyone that her success wasn’t just an overnight thing. In fact, she explained how she hustled her way to the top — a journey that wasn’t so pretty.
In a recent interview on Power 106, she opened up about her humble beginnings and the challenges she faced on her journey to success.
As Saweetie shared her story, she became visibly emotional, reflecting on a time when she had nowhere to stay and had to resort to “couch surfing” while tirelessly pursuing her rap career.
She told Brown Bag Mornings host Letty Peniche that eventually, she found a room for rent on Craigslist but while dealing with that and writing her raps, she realized she “couldn’t even pop sh*t.” Saweetie said she wouldn’t allow herself to lie in her lyrics just to create a song. “I was literally like… I’m not here right now, but eventually, I’m gonna get there. So ima thank God for what I’m about to be.”
