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.

Catch this Bay Area Grammy nominee's post-Giants game concert
Oracle Park is about to get icy — and not just because of San Francisco's summertime fog. The Bay Area's 'Icy Girl' Saweetie plans to bring her hip-hop hits to the ballpark for a post-game performance after the San Francisco Giants face off against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 16. The Santa Clara-born star is set to perform on the field approximately 30 minutes after the final out of the game, which starts at 6:05 p.m. Her set is part of the Giants' City Connect Concert series, which previously booked country music star Nate Smith for a performance on June 21. A game ticket is required for admission, and fans can purchase an additional field pass for closer access to the performance. Tickets are on sale now. The upcoming occasion marks Saweetie's first local gig since NBA All-Star Weekend, when she joined fellow Bay Area musicians Too Short, Raphael Saadiq and En Vogue on the court for a performance during the NBA All-Star Game at Chase Center. The two-time Grammy nominee was also featured on the Golden State Warriors' nine-track 'For the Soil' album, which celebrated Northern California's rap scene and was curated by Pinole rapper P-Lo. The record was released just before NBA All-Star Weekend in collaboration with its entertainment division, Golden State Entertainment. Ahead of her concert next month, Saweetie plans to release her new EP, 'Hella Pressure,' on Aug. 1. The project builds on the success of hits like 'My Type,' 'Tap In' and 'Best Friend,' and comes as fans eagerly await her debut album, which has no release date yet. Saweetie released the confident summer anthem 'Boffum,' the EP's lead single named for the slang term meaning 'both of them,' on Friday, July 18, to ring in the new era.

Why have only one when you can get 'Boffum?' Saweetie returned on Friday (July 18) to heat up the summer with her bouncy single 'Boffum.' The Bay Area native wants to have the block parties turned up and night club dance floors filled with the slinky J. White Did It-produced banger. She implores her Icy Girls to know their worth and how they should never settle for less in life.

Saweetie has laid relatively low on the music front in 2025, as 'Boffum' serves as her first solo release of the year. However, things are about to change for Diamonté. While her much-delayed Pretty Bitch Music debut album remains elusive, Saweetie announced plans for her HELLA PRESSURE EP, which is slated to arrive on Aug. 1 via Warner Records and comes in the midst of her upcoming four-date Australia tour run. 'I feel like it will really encompass who I've grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell,' she told Billboard in February about her upcoming music. Outside of her own music, Saweetie became a brand ambassador for Paris Hilton's NYX Professional Makeup line. The 32-year-old was also part of the NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show in February, which saw her perform alongside E-40, Too Short and En Vogue for DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic Live Bay Area celebration.
