What Is Going On Between ‘Best Friend’ Singer Saweetie And Her Producer?

Saweetie is making headlines once again following the battle between her and her music producer. This is a battle that has made it harder for her to release more music. In an interview with New York magazine, Saweetie addressed questions about having embattled producer Dr. Luke as a collaborator on her upcoming album — suggesting she probably won’t do it again, but expressing no desire to not have the tracks on her album. Interviewer Hunter Harris first quoted from an interview he did with the rising star in the summer of 2020, when she had just released “Tap In,” a single co-written and produced by Dr. Luke. At that time, Saweetie said, “I’m so green. Maybe that’s a double-edged sword because I’m coming into the studio and I’m not knowing who these people are. I was able to learn about all of his achievements, and all of the allegations as well, after a couple of sessions.” The writer notes that subsequently Saweetie has worked with the producer again, on “Best Friend,” a hit collaboration with Doja Cat, who is signed to his Kemosabe Records. “When I was put in the position to work with him, it was a bundle deal. I had those songs for over two years. So what do you think? Do I compromise my artistry, do I keep them in the vault, or do I release them?” Hunter asked Saweetie whether she would work with him again. “What do you think?” she said throwing the question back at him. After they volley back and forth, she finally said, “I think you have a good sense of my character by now. Hopefully, we keep ourselves out of any controversial situation in the future.” Saweetie has been releasing singles since 2017 but her album debut, to be titled “Pretty Bitch Music,” still remains unscheduled, with the New York article suggesting that she still plans to continue working on it indefinitely until she feels it’s right. What do you think? Should Saweetie find a new producer or just try and straighten things out with her current one? Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat) #HalfYearWrapUp2021
