She even revealed some surprising details about her employment.

Saweetie has been making waves recently for both her new music and her unwavering pettiness. The former came because she recently released a new single and has been gearing up for quite a while now to eventually release a debut album. The latter is because she recently took the opportunity to clap back at an old tweet from a fan claiming she'll be a one hit wonder. She waited a full four years after the tweet was originally made to share a quote tweet now that she's fully beaten the one-hit wonder claims.

Now in a new interview making the rounds online, she discusses her past before rapping. Plenty of rappers have harrowing stories about how they got by before breaking through with their music and Saweetie is no different. She's talked about her experiences with homelessness in the past and in the new interview she spoke on working at a strip club. She even revealed some details about where she worked and what name she used to go by. That led to a conversation about the desire she felt to keep her employment there a secret. Check out the conversation they had below.
