In a new interview with Power 106 in Los Angeles, the ‘Best Friend’ hitmaker recalls being broke and without a place to live. The ‘My Type’ rapper also revealed that she was actually “couch surfing” shortly after graduating college.

“I remember I was too like proud to tell like my friends and my family that I had no where to stay. And I was literally like couch surfing, but it was cool because people always wanted me around. I didn’t have to worry about having a place to stay. My homegirls knew what was going on but I never wanted to take up space in someone’s house. So I would keep my closet in my car,” Saweetie said.

Saweetie also stated that she had no confidence and felt terrible about partying with her friends. However, she eventually gave herself a deadline to achieve her dreams.



“I could either get a job, but as a graduate, most of us are looking for full-time jobs. But if I’m full-time I’m working 40 hours a week and if I’m doing 40 hours a week that’s the same thing as going to school, so if I’m doing that I’m not doing music. So I just had to give myself a deadline,” she explained.
