Saweetie shut down colorism accusations after a resurfaced video with Too $hort went viral over the weekend. In the video, the "Icy" artist chatted with Too $hort back in December on IG Live when the Bay Area legend began praising women of mixed heritage. "Mixed heritage women have always been my favorite. I don't think I've ever fallen in love with a woman that wasn't mixed," the "Blow Your Whistle" rapper said. Saweetie, who is Black and Filipino, replied, "Really?!"


Too $hort even spoke about mixed babies: "I feel that way about life too like biracial babies are… you can take the two ugliest motha f--a's from different races and they f--k and make a baby and that baby would just be beautiful! It happens all the time!"

The clip garnered backlash after it began making its rounds on social media and Saweetie received a lot of the criticism for not speaking up. However, the "My Type" rapper responded by showing the full clip of the video where she defended Black women.

The rapper said in the full video:

"I heard your comment about when people come together they make a beautiful baby, but Black women is beautiful period on their own, with their own look, you feel me?"

She also retweeted an older post where she defended dark skin women. An anonymous user asked the rapper if she thought dark skin women can be pretty to which she responded with, "I was raised by dark skin women so I find this question insulting. Wts I don't think they can be pretty. I think that they are pretty."

In the tweet about the user's question, Saweetie wrote: "This shouldn't even be a conversation but thanks for having my back baby. I'm going back to my shoot. Y'all have a Jesus blessed day."

While Saweetie received most of the backlash, other people called out Too $hort for his comments as well as the misogyny after Saweetie received the bulk of the criticism and not Too $hort.

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.
