Saweetie is getting ready to own the hot weather season. The “Best Friend” rapper put fans on notice on Tuesday (May 14) that she is “gon’ fkkk up the Summer [three kiss emoji],” encouraging her fans to make sure they pre-save her new single, “NANi,” which is due out on Friday (May 17).
The announcement came with a provocative image from the single’s cover, in which the MC poses with her right leg extended behind her — and a green hair dryer blowing her knee-length blonde-pink locks into the air — as she models a barely-there beaded bikini paired with matching high heels.
Last month, Saweetie posted a preview of the song on Insta, rapping a bit of the sing-songy chorus while strutting near a swimming pool and toting a tiny purse. “Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani/ How she walk through, swingin’ that body/ Yellin’, ’Who gon’ stop me?’/ You ain’t got the time to clock me,” she sings on the refrain that sounds like both provocative and taunting at the same time. “Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani/ Big, bag, I’ma fill it up with money/ Yellin’, ‘Who gon’ stop me?’/ You ain’t got the time to clock me.”
When Billboard caught up with Saweetie on the red carpet at the 2024 Gold Gala celebrating todays’ most impactful Asian Pacific changemakers earlier this week, she promised, “NANi is that girl. NANi is main character energy.” The new single is the follow-up to her recent song with P-Lo, “Do It For the Bay” and February’s “Richtivities.”
