Saweetie Makes Electric Debut With ‘SNL’ Performance, and Fans Love It

Saweetie made her SNL debut and fans are loving it. The “Tap In” rapper and cousin of acting starlet Gabrielle Union showed her talent extends beyond trendy lyrics and synchronized choreography. Saweetie has comedy chops too. Ahead of her SNL debut, a promo featuring Saweetie cast member Kyle Mooney in a skit hinted to the two having a romantic past, leaving some feelings of bitterness. 

“Hello Kyle,” she said with an eye roll. “Hello Saweetie,” he responded. When asked if the two knew each other, Mooney responded, ” We did, until she broke off our engagement.” Mooney walked off when asked whether or not the two working together would be a problem. Again, Saweetie ended things with an eye roll. 

The “Icy” rapper is coming off from a major partnership with McDonald’s. The “Saweetie” meal featured a Big Mac, cheeseburger, fries, and a four-piece chicken nuggets with special sauce. The rapper even had her own phrase for employees to say when customers entered the drive thru, modeling after her popular “best friend” lyrics. 

Recently, she spoke on the delay of her debut album. “I thought [the album] was done, but after I met her, I had an epiphany,” Saweetie explained, as reported by Revolt. “This album needs to have feelings, it needs to have soul, it needs to have spirit. And I have a lot of room for improvement, so I’m gonna work on that. And once it’s done, the album will be released.”

Regardless, it hasn’t stopped her rise. And apparently, SNL executives took note. The reactions on social media are proving that she’s here to stay.
