While she mentioned other reasons as well, it seems like her being a Cancer makes a big difference in her mind when it comes to the album's long-awaited and postponed drop.

Fans have waited for this album for almost two years, but it looks like the stars had other plans for it. Moreover, Saweetie recently placed partial blame on her zodiac sign for her album delay, which was originally going to drop in June of 2021. During an E! News interview on Monday (March 20), she addressed the consistent postponement of her debut album Pretty B***h Music. Still, it's not like she's been completely off the radar, given last year's The Single Life EP. Also, she said that she's been through a lot over her career and doesn't want to force a shoddy expression of those experiences.

"I feel like a debut album is not something you just put out," the Icy Girl stated during her conversation. "It's not something you play with. I'm a Cancer so I like to overthink sometimes, but I think you have to be really careful with that and I take my art really serious. I've been through a lot of interesting experiences. So, I wanna put that all into my album in the most artistic and organic way."

Saweetie's Album Delay Is Because Of Her Zodiac Sign, She Says

As of late, a lot of the conversation around Saweetie regards rumors of her relationships with other rappers. While it's always at least curious, it's also disappointing to see her reduced to who she spends her time with, especially given that the rumors concern other colleagues and collaborators in the industry. In fact, it's something that she addressed on The Single Life on the track "Don't Say Nothin'," where her lyrics question why "always speakin' on who I'm f***in' on." In addition, the real disappointment about all these conversations is that she's building a happy and healthy relationship with Quavo.

With all that in mind, it's actually not entirely unbelievable that the California rapper would want some time to process things. Sure, her success has been stellar, but often might be bogged down by the extracurriculars of fame and being a female rapper in the industry. Whether it's for her sales or her relationships, she faced opposition at many turns. Hopefully her debut album will be exactly what she wants it to be, and makes a splash upon its release. Let's just hope a Virgo doesn't mix the project. Regardless, check out the full interview here and log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Saweetie.
