Our next guest is a multi platinum recording hip hop
artist, whose music has been strained
over 100 million times.
Please welcome my sister Saweetie.
Hey, girl, mwah, mwah, mwah.
Saweetie, thank you so much for taking time out
to do this for me.
I get you all to myself, so I love you for that.
Thank you so much.
How you been, sis?
Girl, anything for you.
I've been good.
I've been working.
I'm happy, so I'm good.
Well, you have been working.
Because you've been on Ellen's digital series Lady
Parts before, and you shared a lot.
Do you remember what you said you needed?
Come on wiht it.
Girl, I needed a vajacial.
What is that?
On facebook, on the explore page,
I saw someone getting a lot of mist coming up from the area,
so I clicked the photo, and they said
they were getting a vajacial.
Wow, so have you found anybody to help you?
I need some help.
Can you help me please?
I know some men.
I don't know if I know any real doctors, but--
oh my goodness.
You are crazy.
OK, congrats on the year that you're
having, though, seriously.
Two number one songs.
Multiple award nominations, and then, Saweetie,
I saw this video.
Huh?
Roll it.
What is happening here?
Girl, so I have went to Santa Monica Pier,
and that was a day that I had just dropped Fast Motion.
You know, normally we do radio promo runs.
We have a whole bunch of interviews,
but because we've been outside, I
needed to connect with the streets, with my fans.
So I went to Santa Monica, and I've never did it before.
So this local artist, he allowed me to use his speaker system.
So I did a quick little show for the fans.
Oh, that was so sweet of you, and know we all been cooped up,
so I'm sure they appreciated that.
You know.
And this is the thing I love about you, Saweetie, is
that you have hustled so much to get where you are today.
But, you know what, I was reading about you.
You have some famous relatives--
MC Hammer is your uncle.
Gabrielle Union is your cousin.
I mean, but you wanted to make it on your own.
Why you wouldn't tell us this is your family?
You know I had to find out during this show.
Oh, you know what?
I just like to keep everything just
goal-oriented and music-focused.
And I know that sometimes when you're
related to such a big names, it can
overshadow what you're doing.
So I mean they was kind of mad at me
because I didn't tell them what they was doing.
And they kept hearing about Ice, he goes, they're my type,
and they're like girl, are you doing over there?
And I was like I'm just trying to make a name for myself.
Well you certainly have.
You know, but, your mom has been in music videos
for like DMX and Nelly.
What's that like?
Oh, she's beautiful.
Girl, first of all, she's a Tiger mom.
So she was like, I know you see me in the videos,
but you are going to be a kid for as long as I say so, so.
It was fun.
It was fun, but I couldn't I couldn't dress up
in her clothes, but it was cool watching her being on TV.
Now, does she still like you know tell you what to do?
Is she a stage mom?
When she's on set, she does not play about my glam.
She is like, this needs to be fixed, help my girl out.
That's right.
I love that about her.
She watching out for her baby girl.
That's what you're supposed to do, you know?
Yeah.
And you know what?
You have been doing something for your fans--
not only just performing in Santa Monica on the pier,
but you have something called Icy University.
Tell us about that.
I get questions, the same questions asked me
all the time, so I was like, why don't I
create something timeless for my fans to always go back to.
So I did four courses through YouTube online,
and it got picked up by Facebook and Oculus,
so for the next summer session, I'll
be partnering with Facebook and Oculus
for these next online courses.
Oh, wow.
That's is so awesome.
So if I went to Icy University, what could I learn?
How to start your own business.
And what's crazy is I have controversial click-bait
topics, like how to bag a 8-figure man,
but when you actually watch--
girl, but when you actually watch the segment,
you are what you track.
So get to the bag, be independent,
get your own money.
Because you are what you attract.
And if you get into the bag, you will attract that type of man.
That's right, all right, Icy.
OK.
Now, Saweetie, let's talk about your album, Pretty Bitch Music.
Tell everybody what B-I-T-C-H stands for.
So I'm from the West Coast.
I grew up on Tupac, and I really love the acronym
he created for thug life.
So I wanted to change the discourse,
and I wanted my fans to know, when I say bitch,
it stands for something.
It's an acronym.
So the B stands for boss, I for independence,
T for tough, C for CEO because I run my own business,
I'm from Bay so the H means Hi C, OK?
Oh.
I love the way you put a twist on that.
And you got a new phrase for the summertime.
Tell me what the new phrase is that's going
to be hot this summer.
It's a pretty bitch summer, get lit free drinks fake numbers.
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey.
You can hear more of Saweetie's music on streaming services
right now.
Thank you so much, Saweetie, I appreciate
you coming, sis, all right.
Lani Love, thank you so much for always giving me love.
And I wish you nothing but the best,
and I can't wait to see you outside.
Yes, girl, we'll be right back.
