Feb 10, 2022
Flaunting nineties rhyme reverence, fashion-forward fire, and endless charisma, Saweetie (born Diamonté Harper) can go bar-for-bar with the best of ‘em, and fans and critics immediately recognized and responded to that. Within six months, she cracked 100 million cumulative streams, garnered a gold plaque, and earned the praise of the music industry. Drawing on a passion for poetry and numerous years of rapping in the car, she turned her love for words into vivid verses during 2018 on the High Maintenance EP with her smash hit "ICY GRL", earning an RIAA platinum certification. 2019 saw the release of Saweetie's ICY EP, spawning double-platinum viral sensation "My Type" as well as a 2020 BET Awards nomination for "Best Female Hip Hop Artist." As a businesswoman, she launched her sold-out ICY jewelry line and partnered with PrettyLittleThing for a 50-piece capsule collection. Meanwhile, everyone from Gwen Stefani to David Guetta, Dua Lipa to Wiz Khalifa, and Mulatto to G-Eazy has enlisted her for guest spots. Saweetie has more than 13 million Instagram followers, two GRAMMY® nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rap Song, MTV and BET Hip-Hop Awards, back-to-back #1 singles, and brand partnerships with McDonalds, Crocs, MAC, Quay, Revlon, and more. She has graced the cover of Cosmopolitan, V Magazine, W, Maxim, Elite Daily, Refinery29, and Wonderland, in addition to appearing in Wall Street Journal, C.R. Fashion Book, Glamour, Elle, Variety, Interview, Fast Company, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar. (photo credit: Pol Kurucz)
