Saweetie returned from the Dodger Stadium’s stylish performance with a newfound love—baseball. The 29-year-old rapper was the first pitcher during the Filipino Heritage Night. Los Angeles Dodgers invited Saweetie, whose deep love and care for the maternal Filipino root and community showed at the event.
Saweetie put on high footwear, adding some inches to her height and artificially long nails. Excessive manicure did not stop the artist from performing the ceremonial first pitch task effectively. She successfully hit the target.

The motivation and success of the performance could be placed on Saweetie’s love for the game. She also loves the Filipino community nonetheless.
Her post on Twitter attracted comments like “Me too,” “I love you,” and “You looked like you had so much fun.”Â
“You look good and did a good job mama,” another person said.
However, some baseball lovers also started offering advice about what teams’ outfits Saweetie needed to wear. One of them claimed, “grl, you need to rock a SF Giants or Oakland Athletics jersey instead!”

Beyond Dodgers’ Pitching Appearance and Talks
Away from visiting Dodgers’ games, Saweetie recently also discussed realizing her purpose with the platform God gave her. She pinpointed the need to educate and ensure “the babies in the Filipino community grow up to have a bright future.”
She wants to also channel her energy to help “people who look like me in lower-income communities.”Â
The Filipino-American rapper actress is out for the improvement of Asian Americans.
Specifically, the Philippines came on the international agenda of Saweetie’s non-profit organization, Icy Baby Foundation. Saweetie established the non-profit to help entrepreneurs, provide scholarships, help with college preparation, and support underserved communities of color. Saweetie expressed a wish to use the organization and any opportunity she gets as an artist to change the lives of the community for good.
