Quavo Praises Saweetie For Showing "You Don’t Have To Be A Stripper"


Quavo recently spoke about how his girlfriend Saweetie brings “something very special to the game” by proving women “don’t have to be a stripper” to make it.

If there’s a chance for Quavo to brag about his girlfriend Saweetie, he’s going to take it. The Migos rapper has been enjoying his unproblematic relationship with the “My Type” artist, and many fans are hoping that these two will one day tie the knot. Recently, Quavo caught up with Page Six while he was acting as a judge of Step Up to the Mic, a new competition series, and during their chat, he spoke about his rapper girlfriend paving the way for other women in hip hop.

“I think she’s bringing something very special to the game,” Quavo said of his USC-graduate girlfriend who happens to be Gabrielle Union’s cousin. “She speaks for the pretty college girls that are taking the regular route. You don’t have to be a stripper, you don’t have to be a bartender, you don’t have to take the Instagram model route.” He added, “I feel like she’s speaking for those nice, teenage girls who listen to their parents and go to school.”

Quavo also spoke briefly about Saweetie’s forthcoming album, Pretty B*tch Music. “She’s ready, she’s grown as an artist,” he added. “Y’all gonna see. I’m excited for her.” Do you agree with Quavo?

Nick Young Broke Into Kobe Bryant’s Locker During College Tournament

Nick Young shares a classic Kobe story.

Nick Young, former teammate of Kobe Bryant, broke into Bryant's locker in the Staples Center and stole his knee pads during a tournament in college.

It was the start of the Pac-10 (now the Pac-12) tournament and Young was playing for USC. He stole two knee pads out of Kobe's locker and wore them during the opening game. They looked out of place, seeing as USC's colors are cardinal and gold and the knee pads were purple.

Young explained the story on the Certified Buckets podcast earlier this week: "But the tournament is at the Staples Center, and we had the Lakers' locker room. So, I just remember telling 'Nobody can sit in Kobe Bryant's seat but me.' I don't want to be snitching on myself, but I broke into his locker, the underneath part. I took like two knee pads. They was purple. Our uniform was cardinal and gold. And I played with them. I said, 'I'm Kobe today y'all. I stole his knee pads.' So, if you look at our first game at Staples Center, I got purple knee sleeves on. I thought I was Kobe... I thought I was going to get in trouble, but they let me slide."

One fan on Twitter found a picture of Young during the game.
