After earning celebrity status in the music game, the Icy Girl artist is now making the transition from rapper to actress as she gears up to show her acting chops in the upcoming season to Grown-ish. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Cali representative revealed that she’ll be taking on the role of an overbearing artist named Indigo, who’ll be more than a handful for Yara Shahidi’s Zoey Johnson.
Like many rappers before her, Saweetie has gotten bit by the acting bug something serious as she’s hoping to not only get more acting gigs, but maybe even starring in her own series at some point in the future.
“I could definitely see myself having a show like that or just doing more guest-star roles, or even doing a movie,” she continued. “I think it’s art. It’s fun to step outside my comfort zone and [it] allows me to just explore my creative side.”
As for the character she’ll be portraying on Grown-ish, Saweetie admits she won’t exactly be everyone’s favorite person on the show when it airs.
