Saweetie on Hair, Discrimination, Feminism and her Meteoric Rise to Fame

  • GLAMOUR’s second ever Hair Issue is here - and with a love for everything from braids, blonde buzz cuts and her bucket full of wigs, our Best Friend and Grammy-nominated rapper, Saweetie speaks to Olive Pometsey.
    Cascading down the 28-year-old rapper’s back in streaks of yellow, pink and everything in between, not a hair is out of place as she sits down in front of the camera to be interviewed. It’s an appropriately show-stopping look for the cover star of GLAMOUR’s second annual Hair Issue. “Hair is important to me because it’s a form of expression,” she says, matter-of-factly. Amen.
    You’d expect nothing less from the woman whose debut platinum-certified 2018 single Icy Grl introduced her to the world as an unapologetically ambitious, fabulously put-together force to be reckoned with. And with a real name like Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper, sparkling is practically Saweetie’s birthright. But still, watching the iced-out star in action is something to behold.

    This was a great interview. I must say that its very rare to see mixed race people-especially mixed race women speak on issues that severely affect the African American community. Yes, there are struggles that affect African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians, but Black people have a four-hundred year history of being the receivers of the worse type of hatred.

    her saying she didnt feel black enough really resonated with me, I'm a lightskin, and in cold weather my skin tends to go pale, so i don't look black at all, then on really hot days it comes out. I've struggled with trying to feel like i fit in with other black people because I've had several people say racist things in front of me not knowing I'm mixed, as well as people tell me i cant say things or act certain ways or participate in certain things because I don't 'look black'. recently my dark skin friends have been making me feel a lot more accepted, and I've definitely grown to be more confident and stand up for myself when it comes to being excluded from representing my culture, but i do still have a way to go.

    This is such a political conversation and interview with Saweetie. Wish we could have seen some of the images she referenced of her hair and mom's hair, her bald head, and more. I didn't know her ethnic heritage. Black and Asian. The whole conversation of not belonging is also informative! I am fascinated with how one goes from being a tomboy and an ambitious athlete to being ultra femme as a rap artist. But this also points to that we as human beings are full spectrum...AND it's not lost on me that hegemonic femininity rules the celeb space among women. I do love her emphasis on gender equity. I just wish Glamour was more inclusive of butch femme representation for someone like Saweetie.
