00:00 We're here with Saweetie, the Billboard Gold Music Honoree tonight.
00:03 I mean, you've always been super proud of your Filipino and Chinese heritage.
00:07 How does it feel to be recognized by your peers tonight?
00:09 It feels amazing. I'm so happy to be here.
00:11 Yeah, I mean, in what ways, I think, do you bring your culture into everything you do throughout your career?
00:16 I mean, I be shouting out my mom with my songs, my Filipino queen,
00:21 through my food vlogs, through sharing old pictures of my childhood.
00:28 I feel like those are ways that I've connected with my fans, letting them know where my roots come from.
00:32 And of course, I mean, speaking of food, is there a Filipino dish that you love?
00:36 The best Filipino dish is sinigang with milkfish.
00:40 Yeah, 100%. You just released a new song, "Nani." It's fun, heading into the summer.
00:45 What does this new musical era look like for Saweetie?
00:48 You know, girl, we're going to find out, but it comes out May 17th.
00:51 And Nani is that, girl. Nani is main character energy.
00:54 I love that. Well, thank you so much, Saweetie. You're the best.
