In 2019 Saweetie “owned the summer” with her single ‘My Type’, propelling her into Billboard’s Top 100, only the seventh female rapper to scale that wall. ‘My Type’ “proved Saweetie’s bankability. It’s all part of her master plan—an empire dedicated to entertainment, beauty and fashion,” writes Maxim’s Jordan Riefe.

In her new release, ‘Pretty B*tch Music’, the daughter of Trinidad Valentin and Johnny Harper, says that you can’t expect respect from others unless you respect yourself. The rocket-propelled talent makes it clear that even the pandemic won’t stop Saweetie becoming the first rapper to grace the cover of Maxim.
