Saweetie shares her views on nepotism
As previously reported by The Shadow RoomBronny was the 55th pick in the draft by the LA Lakers, which sparked a debate about the appropriateness of “nepotism.” Some roommates said that “I do not like it,” while others “I didn’t see any problem.”
The rapper wrote, “I hate the “nepo baby” narrative.” She explained that the criticism does not consider the sacrifice of parents being away from home to work. In addition to the time children lose with their parents. “This spits in the face of the child who grew up barely spending time with their parents because they were too busy trying to survive.” she said.
Furthermore, the artist expressed the sacrifices she made to succeed in the music industry.
“…I think Saweetie, the college student, would have had her “rich family” pay for her tuition and housing so she could enjoy the social experience of college instead of working 4 jobs to support herself,” she wrote.
Saweetie shares her struggles breaking into the industry without help
Furthermore, the ‘Richtivities’ rapper shared that she put herself in dangerous situations to survive alone without the help of her family. She said, “Saying I’m privileged ignores the girl who risked her safety by renting out rooms on Craigslist because she believed in herself enough to stay in an expensive city when everyone else was telling her to move because that’s the safer, better “financial option.”
Saweetie said she made an effort to achieve her dream, even without money. “Can’t afford studio time? No problem. I made car rap videos and that’s how I got discovered. I am proud of all the hard work I have done/accomplished and will continue to share my story to inspire those who come after me.” she said.
