Saweetie Previews New EP ‘Hella Pressure' With Single ‘Boffum'
Saweetie Saweetie might be an 'Icy Grl,' but the Oakland-bred rapper is ready to turn up the heat for the summer. The hit-making artist is back with a new single, 'Boffum,' and announced her forthcoming EP Hella Pressure upon the song's release. To create the song, Saweetie teamed up with J. White, or J. White Did It, the Grammy-winning producer behind Cardi B's 'Bodak Yellow' and other rap hits. 'Lady or a pimp? 'Boffum' / You want the steak or the shrimp? 'Boffum' / Rapper, athlete, 'boffum' / Don't you ask me? Just give me 'boffum'' she raps on the track. 'How many on me, like four of 'em? / I keep a secret, no tea, I don't know nothin' / Take a shot, peel off in a 4Runner / All my haters f**ked up, need a GoFundMe.' Speaking to Billboard about her upcoming music, Saweetie explained that her next project will showcase who she is as an artist today and how she's evolved over the time in the spotlight. 'I feel like it will really encompass who I've grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell,' she said. Over the better part of a decade, Saweetie has found her footing during a time when women began occupying more space in the hip-hop scene than ever before. It took a while, but she's since learned not to be so hard on herself. 'Earlier on in my career, I [was] like, 'I have to be perfect,'' she told Teen Vogue. 'I've realized you just have to show up and give it your best. As long as I do that, that's when I feel great about my shows… Right before I step out [on stage], I pray, and I remind myself to just have a show that's inspirational and fun, and not to strive for perfection.' Now, with more time and experience under her belt, Saweetie is prepared to handle everything her career entails. 'I feel like I finally know myself," she said on the Call Her Daddy podcast. 'I felt like I was constantly in this weird transition phase, especially with recording, like, 'What am I even talking about?'' Hella Pressure is out Aug. 1.

Hailey Bieber Is Calling Out ‘F—ing Losers' as Justin Bieber Announces Surprise Album
Hailey Bieber is standing on business when it comes to Justin Bieber, especially as he gears up to drop his new album, seemingly titled Swag. The pop star revealed Thursday (July 10) that he's finally releasing new music after a four-year drought, unveiling electronic billboards in multiple cities across the globe with the word 'Swag' and a 20-song track list. Holding 11-month-old son Jack Blues in her arms, the Rhode founder appears alongside her husband in some of the billboards, which Justin shared in posts on his Instagram. More from Billboard It Looks Like Justin Bieber Is Teasing a Surprise New Album With 'Swag' Billboards & Tracklist 'KPop Demon Hunters' Slays Its Way to No. 1 on ARIA Albums Chart Saweetie Announces New Track 'Boffum' Ahead of Australian Tour Resharing one of the singer's photos on her Story, Hailey added the caption: 'Is it finally clocking to you f—ing losers?' The model's quip references a recent viral moment in which Justin — seemingly confronting intrusive paparazzi — irritably asks, 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?' The phrase quickly became a widespread meme, which Hailey is now using to support her partner while seemingly brushing off haters. And while it isn't clear which 'f—ing losers' she was addressing, the couple has been no stranger to trolls picking apart their relationship. Hailey opened up about shutting out online hate in her recent Vogue cover story, in which Justin also said, 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey.' Bieber's seventh album has been a long time coming, with Justin last releasing an album in 2021. That year's Justice spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200, becoming one of eight career No. 1s the Grammy winner has on the chart. Since he last released music, Justin has become a father, welcoming Jack with Hailey last August. Remaining careful not to reveal the baby's face, the two stars have shared many photos of their son over the past year, with Justin most recently posting a snap of himself and his mini-me in the studio. Justin hasn't officially confirmed when Swag will drop, but one report from The Hollywood Reporter indicates that it will arrive at midnight Friday (July 11) — just hours after the Biebs first revealed its existence. The report also said that Gunna and Sexyy Red will appear as features on the album.

Glam hip-hop artist to perform in Perth for the first time
Saweetie will grace Australia with her icy queen presence in two weeks, kicking off her debut tour in Perth with a one-night-only show. The 32-year-old US rapper, real name Diamonte Harper, is preparing to travel to the other side of the globe for her first Perth show on June 30 at Metros in Northbridge. She will also bring her signature style, viral hits and superstar energy to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney for shows during the first week of August. Fans can expect a stacked setlist featuring hit songs and fierce choreography. The Aussie tour comes as the My Type singer is set to drop new single Boffum on Friday — her first solo song for the year. Produced by hitmaker J. White Did It, the track features bold energy, clever wordplay, and a nod to Young Buck's early 2000s classic, Shorty Wanna Ride. In the visual teaser shared on social media, Saweetie struts in a white bikini and fur boots, confidently delivering lyrics that double down on her 'why choose when you can have both' mentality.

Sean Young added: 'I have actual chills.' Known for transforming iconic tracks into modern hits, Saweetie has become known for putting her original spin on classic songs, like she did with My Type and Tap In.

Perhaps there is more Saweetie magic on the way after she told Call Her Daddy earlier this year that her debut project will land in 2025. 'I feel like I finally know myself,' she said. 'I felt like I was constantly in this weird transition phase… like, 'What am I even talking about?'' Saweetie rose to fame in 2017 after she began posting videos online of herself freestyling old-school rap beats in her car. After her freestyle over Khia's 2002 hit My Neck, My Back (Lick It) went viral, her persona 'ICY GRL' was born. She released a studio version with an official music video in October 2017 which has since amassed more than 20 million views. Tickets to her Perth show are still available for $89.90 and can be purchased here.
