WHAT IT IS: Born Diamonté Harper, Saweetie turned her love for words into vivid verses. She was discovered at a Downtown Los Angeles Puma event hosted by industry vet Max Gousse (Beyoncé, YG, Ty Dolla $ign). At Gousse’s studio, she recorded her 2017 viral smash, “ICY GRL,” which racked up 10m YouTube views in under three weeks, as well as 5m+ Spotify streams. She earned the early endorsements of Vibe, XXL, HipHopDX and MTV. Freshly signed to Warner Bros., Saweetie’s about to flip rap upside down with her forthcoming debut EP. As a new CAA signee, she’ll be touring nationally throughout 2018.
