“If the public doesn’t receive what you say, people can start to build your brand for you.”

I want to encourage the artists that haven’t made it that social media is the truth. I made it from Instagram to having a most-added song to radio.

If you’re really listening there are alot of hidden messages in my songs.

I went from being a hustler, working different jobs to renting rooms off Craigslist, and I just wasn’t happy.

A lot of women reach out to me and tell me my music has given them the courage and confidence to break up with not just any boyfriend, but an unhealthy relationship

It used to take me a really long time, and I used to not be able to write in the studio because I felt there was a lot of pressure to be perfect. The more I’m collaborating with other artists, the more I realize being in the studio is about catching a vibe.

Around the time that I was in high school, a lot of rappers were coming out with mixtapes of them rapping over other people’s instrumentals, specifically Young Money.

I want to encourage the artists that haven’t made it that social media is the truth.

Although I had the label of being the ‘pretty girl rapper with a lot of followers,’ I just broke the rules.

I like it to look natural, to be smooth, dewy glowy. I like my eyebrows to look nice and I love lip gloss. That’s essential to the Saweetie look.

What I love about my audience is it’s extremely diverse as far as the ethnicities and the ages that show up.

My schedule is very busy, but when I get time to sit and think about all the great things that have happened to me, it’s just mind-blowing.

I feel like an EP is for practice and an album is the game.

Especially as an artist, the creative freedom we have makes us who we are. We’re human beings-we’re gonna mess up sometimes. I definitely feel like people should continue being who they are. As long as you’re staying true to who you are, that’s super important.

Hella dapper all summer.

People had boxed me in as a ‘pretty girl with followers that’s.

In the beginning, I took on every opportunity because I was so determined to get my name and music out there. You can get your sleep, but honestly, your brain needs a break, too, and so many people forget that.

I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

People can’t, unhappily, invent their mooring posts, their lovers and their friends, anymore than they can invent their parents.

But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.

I generally think if you do good things for people in the world, that comes back and you benefit from it over time.

I don’t think I’m better than other people, I think I’m different from other people, because I do different things.

What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.

You can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you.

Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.
