‘Money Well Spent’: Saweetie Reveals She Bought Herself ‘Some Boobs’ After Receiving Her First Big Rap Check

Saweetie did not hold back from admitting what her first big purchase was after receiving her first big check during the start of her rap career.

The Bay Area rapper, whose real name is Diamonte Quiava Valentin Harper, was stopped over the weekend by HipHopDX backstage during day three of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. She was asked by the outlet to detail her first performance.

“I went to Turkey,” the 29-year-old said. “My first show was in Turkey – Istanbul.” 

Saweetie continued to reveal how much her performance was worth, saying, “They paid me 10 bands to perform ‘ICY GIRL.’ Just one song. 10 bands.”

“ICY GIRL” was Saweetie’s 2018 hit single that ultimately launched her career. There was no escaping the catchy tune being heard at parties, on the radio, or via social media. 

When asked what she spent her money on after receiving a load of cash, the Grammy-nominated artist paused for a few seconds before confidently replying, “Some boobs!” 

It wasn’t long before The Jasmine Brand shared the clip of Saweetie’s 22-second interview on Instagram. Fans in the comments section shared their opinions about her appearance and their perspectives on what she should have done with the money.

“She didn’t need them or any of the work she’s had done, really”

“Now she admitting to her procedures, which she thought we didn’t know any better” 

One particular social media user decided to respond to critics by writing, “Why y’all so mad about what she did to her OWN body and with her OWN money? She made what she thought was the best decision for herself sheesh!” 

Another added, “Young ladies, understand. There is nothing wrong with your body just because you don’t look like celebrities or models. THEY don’t look like that either without the money.”

A few fans came to Saweetie’s defense, writing, “She bet not do sh!t else either ! She just right” and “Money well spent.”

Throughout her time in the industry, fans were intrigued to know if Saweetie went under the knife to get her killer body or if she was naturally blessed with an hourglass shape.

Despite fans’ assumptions, the “Best Friend” lyricist has never publicly confirmed or denied any cosmetic surgery accusation, until now. 

While she’s only recently spoken about her breasts, some fans believe that the rapper also received a BBL.

As previously reported, Saweetie joined Latto on the Coachella stage for an epic performance of their 2019 rap single, “B–t From Da Souf (Remix),” which also features Miami rapper Trina.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
