Saweetie (born Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper) is a prominent American rapper, singer, and business mogul known for her "Icy" brand and catchy, confidence-boosting anthems.
She first gained viral fame in 2017 with her debut single "ICY GRL," which she famously wrote over the beat of Khia's "My Neck, My Back." Since then, she has become a staple in modern hip-hop with multi-platinum hits like "My Type," "Tap In," and "Best Friend" (featuring Doja Cat).
Key Facts
Background: Born on July 2, 1993, in Santa Clara, California, she is of Filipino, Chinese, and African-American descent.
Education: Unlike many who find viral fame, Saweetie prioritized her education, graduating from the University of Southern California (USC) with a degree in Communications and Business.
The "Icy" Persona: Her brand centers on high fashion, luxury, and "pretty bitch music"—a term she uses to redefine the word "bitch" as an acronym for Boss, Independent, Tough, CEO, and Hyphy.
Famous Family: She has deep roots in the industry; she is the cousin of actress Gabrielle Union and the producer Zaytoven, and her grandfather is former 49ers player Willie Harper.
Business Ventures: Beyond music, she has secured high-profile partnerships with brands like McDonald’s (the "Saweetie Meal"), MAC Cosmetics, and PrettyLittleThing.
As of 2026, she remains a major figure in pop culture, continuing to bridge the gap between hip-hop, fashion, and digital influence.
