Saweetie Says She Almost Went To Jail For Stealing When She Was Younger

Saweetie Admits To Teen Vogue She Almost Went To Jail For Stealing When She Was Younger

Saweetie graced the cover of Teen Vogue this month, and in her interview, she opened up about how she used to steal clothes and it almost landed her behind bars.

The icy girl spoke with the publication about how her love of fashion caused her to pick up a little shoplifting habit when she was younger.

“Before I went to college, I almost went to jail because I got caught stealing… At a young age, I just always liked the finer things — and I’m not even talking about name brands. I just like looking good,” she said.

However, she said she stopped when she realized that the punishment was not going to be worth it.

“In that moment, I was like, I’m not really about this life. I get straight A’s, I’m a year-round athlete. I think the lesson was that [I had worked] too hard for everything to be thrown away.”

Saweetie previewed a new song yesterday on Instagram live where she rapped about wanting to date a thug n*gga.

“He treated me wrong now you f*ckin’ me right / He buy me flowers you flood me with ice / Huh, I wanna thug n*gga, yeah / I love a thug n*gga,” she’s heard rapping in one of the clips.
