Saweetie Releases Fun Song for Summer ‘Nani’

Saweetie is gearing up her fans for the summer, releasing her new track, "Nani," on Friday, May 17th. Teasing the track earlier this week, the rapper and singer wrote on Instagram: “We gon’ f--- up the Summer."

Last weekend at the 2024 Gold Gala, the 30-year-old California native told Billboard on the red carpet, “‘Nani’ is that girl. ‘Nani’ is main character energy." As for what's coming up for the artist, she told the publication that "hopefully," her debut studio album, Pretty Bitch Music, will release this year. With over 300 songs recorded, the artist said, "We'll get to it."

"Nani" marks Saweetie's second solo single of the year, after February's "Richtivities," which was included in a six-song project titled PRETTY HU$TLER MIX. The project includes previously released tracks “Pretty Bitch Freestyle,” “BO$$ Chick,” “Pretty & Rich,” “Get It Girl” and her 2017 breakout debut single “ICY GIRL."

As we previously reported, Saweetie shut down rumors that she was no longer putting out an album after she said, “I just feel like nobody was caring about my music. To me, music is sacred.” She added she cares for her music deeply, which is why she hasn’t dropped her album.

Fans shared their love for the artist's latest track on social media. One person stated: "it’s so refreshing to see a rap girl do a fun & girlie song [sobbing emoji] saweetie ATEEE." Another said, "saweetie was INSANE for this…" A third swooned, "NANi is such a cute summer bop! Love me some Saweetie."

Another person exclaimed: "TENS ARE GIVEN! NANI ABOUT TO HAVE THE GIRLS OUTSIDE ALL SUMMER!" Responding to one fan telling Saweetie that the single is a hit, she added, "they tried to doubt meh."

Over on Instagram, Saweetie asked her fans to "Rate meee." Doing as she asked, one person responded, "Idc what y’all say, this song is so pretty [laughing emoji, heart eyes emojis] it’s definitely for the pretty girly girls." Another person said, "This is your sound sweetie stay right there and DONT f---in move! also I get why it took so long u ATE this choreography up and u took the time to really LEARN that s--- [heart eyes emoji, clap emoji] ok sweetie stay in this laneee." Praised another, "The choreo, the looks, the vocals [heart eyes emojis]."

Saweetie -- born Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper -- has made a name for herself in a short period of time. She has been infamously crowned the "sponsorship queen" due to her always chasing a bag through companies such as McDonald's, MAC, Crocs and many more. Not only does the Bay Area princess know how to chase a bag, but she is also finally getting the recognition she deserves for making catchy hits. The "Tap In" rapper was nominated for not one but two Grammys in 2022 for "Best New Artist" and for "Best Rap Song" for her hit "Best Friend" featuring Doja Cat. Although she didn't take home the trophy, fans are patiently waiting for her debut album Pretty B.I.T.C.H. Music which she has declared is not "an album it's a movement." However, when the rapper is not making deals or hits in the studio, she is known to flex on the 'gram in her designer fits and icy jewelry.
