Saweetie Opens Up About Her Mental Health During 2021 In People Mag Interview

Saweetie has been nothing short of inspiring. Since the middle of 2021, she has been dominating the music industry and other business ventures. From teaming up with Xbox and McDonalds to earning a Grammy nomination for her hit single, “Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat), she’s constantly evolving. So, it came as a shock to the world when she admitted to battling mental health issues. 

During an interview with People Magazine, she unveiled that she deals with anxiety daily. But she’s working on conquering this. 

“I try to take things day to day. Sometimes I can’t look at my calendar on my weekly schedule because it’ll give me anxiety,” the female rapper said. “I feel like what I’m working for is starting to pay off, so I’m just really grateful for that to be acknowledged.”

Saweetie adds, “It’s like I live, sleep, eat, and breathe music and business.”

“My team is really small, so I have to take responsibilities that eventually somebody else will. But because my team is small, I have to help them out.”

She plans on taking a break around Christmas to recharge. She intends on going somewhere tropical to release some stress.

“I’m going to take a deep breath,” she says. “Hopefully, I’m able to evaluate, reflect on, and see what I can do better next year. I work a lot. Balance needs to happen.”

She continued, “It’s just trying to find balance right now. I have no balance. Everything is just work, work, work, and I don’t have an outlet. I don’t have a therapist. I don’t hang out with any of my friends because I work so much, so it’s just trying to thug it out into until the New Year.”

“I’ve had mental breakdowns, and it’s just really stressful, but it’s nice to be acknowledged because it lets me know that my hard work isn’t going unnoticed.”

Saweetie plans on releasing an EP titled Icy Season on January 7th. Currently, she’s adding the finishing touches to her debut album Pretty Bitch Music.
