When it's time to give an offering, Saweetie says she doesn't pinch pennies.

Within its first weeks, 2024 already has promising new music from Saweetie. The rapper has been teasing new tunes on her social media channels, leaving her fans anticipating her much-delayed debut album. Saweetie has been coy about the project's arrival, but Prety B*tch Music is expected this year. Moreover, it seems as if we haven't heard much from the "My Type" rapper in some time, but she kicks off the new year by chatting with Anderson .Paak for his celebrated .Paak House Radio show on Apple Music 1.

Saweetie looked stunning, per usual, and had a bit of fun during her unconventional interview. She is known for her daring, sexy looks, but the femcee revealed she was raised in the church. Further, her faith is something that is important to her today, including giving back to the church when it's time to present an offering. Check out a clip of Saweetie on .Paak House Radio, as well as highlights from the chat below.
