ʻO ke ola mua ma ke ʻano he mea pena
ʻO Saweetie ka pseudonym o kahi mea pena rap, ʻo Diamonte Kiava Valentine Harper kona inoa. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma Iulai 2, 1993 ma Santa Clara, Kaleponi. He lehulehu ka ʻohana o ke kaikamahine.

ʻO Zaytoven ka hoahānau o ka mea pena. He mea hoʻokani pila kaulana ke kanaka ma ʻAmelika Hema. Ua kōkua ʻo ia i ka mea pena e hana i kekahi mau mele mai kāna EP. Eia kekahi, he hoahānau kaulana ʻo Saweetie, ʻo Gabrielle Union, he mea hana keaka a he kumu hoʻohālike.
Ua hoʻohana ka mea pena i ka hapa nui o kona ola ma Kapalakiko. Ua hele 'o ia i ke kula ki'eki'e o Monterey Trail ma laila. Ma hope o ka puka ʻana, ua komo ʻo Diamonte i ke Kulanui ʻo San Diego State me ke kēkelē ma Business and Communications. Ua aʻo ke kaikamahine no hoʻokahi makahiki a ua hoʻoholo e hoʻololi i ke kulanui.
ʻAʻole i hoʻokumu ʻo Saweetie iā ia iho i ka pahuhopu o ke puka ʻana mai ke kulanui me ke kēkelē. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia iā ia iho e hana ʻo ia inā hiki iā ia ke hoʻololi i ke kula o kāna mau moeʻuhane - ke Kulanui o Kaleponi Hema.

Ma mua o kona lilo ʻana i mea kaulana i ka pūnaewele, ua hana ʻo Saweetie ma ke ʻano he kahu ma ka hale haʻuki a Marshall. Ua hoʻāʻo ka mea rapper makemake e hoʻomohala i kāna hōʻailona ponoʻī, ʻo Money Makin 'Mamis. Kūʻai ʻo ia i nā pālule a me nā pāpale.

Ua hoʻomaka lāua e launa pū i ke kauwela o 2016, i ka wā e aʻo ana ke kaikamahine ma Kaleponi. Wahi a nā lono, ʻo ke kumu o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana ʻo Justin ke kumakaia me kāna hoaaloha ʻo Aaliyah Petty.

I ke kula waena Ua hoʻokani ʻo Saweetie me kona mau hoa ma nā hōʻikeʻike kālena. ʻOiai ua hopohopo nui ʻo ia, makemake mau ʻo ia i ka hoʻokani.
ʻO nā kuhikuhi mele punahele a ka mea hoʻokani he koho, rock, hip-hop a me R&B. Ua ʻae ʻo ia i ka hoʻoikaika nui ʻia e Lil 'Kim, Foxy Brown, Nicki Minaj a me Trina. Ma hope o ke puka ʻana mai ke kulanui, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Diamonte e hoʻolaʻa iā ia iho i ka rap a ʻaʻole i kuhihewa.
He mana koʻikoʻi ʻo Nicki Minaj i ka mea pena kiʻi. Wahi a Saweetie e pili ana iā ia: “I ka wā i kū ai ʻo Nicky ma ke kahua nui, ua nui kāna mau punchline a me nā mele e pili ana i nā mea like ʻole. Ua hoʻomanaʻo mai ʻo ia iaʻu iā ia iho."
Mea mele i kēia lā
Ua hoʻomaka ka mea pena kiʻi i kāna hana ma Instagram i ka makahiki 2016. Eia nō naʻe, ua loaʻa iā ia ka mahalo nui ʻia i ka track ICY GRL (2017). I ke kauwela, hoʻopuka ʻo ia iā ia i ke kahua ʻo SoundCloud. I ka hāʻule, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea hoʻokani i kahi wikiō no ia. Ua loaʻa koke i ka wikiō wikiō 3 miliona mau manaʻo i nā pule mua ʻekolu.
I ke kākau ʻana i ke mele, ʻaʻole hoʻohana ʻo Diamonte i kāna kuʻi. Ua lawe ʻo ia mai ke mele ʻo My Neck, My Back (Lick It), i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 2002. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua haʻi wale ʻo Saweetie i kahi wikiō pōkole ma Instagram o kāna hoʻokani manuahi ma luna o kahi kuʻi a ka mea mele ʻAmelika ʻo Khia. Ua makemake nui ka poʻe kākau inoa i ka hana, a ua noi lākou e hoʻopaʻa i kahi hana piha.
Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i ke mele High Maintenance, i lilo koke i kaulana ma Twitter a me Instagram. Ma hope o ke kau inoa ʻana me Warner Bros, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Saweetie i kāna 9-track EP High Maintenance. Loaʻa iā ia ka pā ICY GRL. Ua hana ʻia ka mini-album e kona hoahānau ʻo Zaytoven.
I Malaki 2019, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Diamonte i kāna EP lua, ʻo Icy, kahi i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka mele My Type. I kekahi mau lā ma hope mai, ua piʻi ʻo ia ma ka helu 81 ma ka Billboard Hot 10, a lilo ʻo ia i mele mua loa a Saweetie ma luna o ka pakuhi. Ma hope iki, ua lawe ʻo My Type i ke kūlana 21, a lilo i poʻokela mua o ka mea hoʻokani ma ka 40 kiʻekiʻe o ka Billboard Hot 100.
He aha ka hana a Saweetie ma waho o ke mele?
