Alex Cooper
Cooper with Call Her Daddy.
Saweetie
Saweetie. Welcome to Call Her Daddy.
Diamante
Hey, girl.
Saweetie
Finally.
Diamante
Finally.
Saweetie
It's, like, inappropriate that it took this long for us. You know what I mean? You came to my tour and you went so fucking hard. The Daddy Gang was taking their tops off for you, screaming for you. Oh, you didn't see that upper balcony titties.
Diamante
Really? I know that's right.
Saweetie
Pretty titty committee and I had the best time with you. And I was saying to you earlier, like, everyone was like, so we don't get a fucking episode? And I'm like, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming. How are you today?
Diamante
I'm good.
Saweetie
You look amazing.
Diamante
You look amazing.
Saweetie
Can we talk about your nails? I feel like you're very known for going hard with your nails. What inspired these nails today? And when I say these, I'm also talking about your toenails.
Diamante
Well, I always get bling on my feet. I've been wearing white toenail polish since, I don't know, my 20s. I need, like, a. A white polished nail deal. Any other color. My feet look weird.
Saweetie
I do feel like no one can go wrong with white toenails, but you have more than, like, white on your feet, Saweetie. That's, like, glitter crystals. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a diamond down there.
Diamante
It's chrome. It's some diamond.
Saweetie
How long does it take to do these nails?
Diamante
It can rain. Sometimes it's two hours. Sometimes it could be eight to 10 hours. If it's, like, freestyling, like, custom art paint and then jewels. It takes time. It's like drawing a mirror on your fingers.
Saweetie
What the fuck are you doing for 10 hours, girl?
Diamante
I try to have meetings. I try to, like, multitask during my nail appointments just so I can, like, get things done.
Saweetie
I am, like, the opposite, where I'm like, if I'm putting on, like, a fake nail, if it takes more than an hour, I'm like, I gotta go. They're like, but we haven't finished your last nail. I'm like, I don't care. I have. I am, like, so impatient when it comes to my nails. And looking at you today, I'm like, and those are not press ons.
Diamante
But what inspired these is I shot two Christmas music videos, and I needed to get into the. The holiday season. So these actually have snowflakes on them and a reindeer.
Saweetie
We. Are you a big Christmas person?
Diamante
Yes, I'm Filipino. Like, Christmas is such a big deal in our culture.
Saweetie
Okay. Because I always. Whenever someone's coming out with Christmas music, I'm always like, hold on. Are you as obsessed with Christmas as me? Because I go so, so hard. Like, what do you do? Oh, I turn to my husband every single year, and I'm like, it's September. And he's like, we are not getting a tree, Alex.
Diamante
And I'm like, okay, real trees are fake trees.
Saweetie
I have a real one in my living room. And I go so fucking hard. Because, like, the minute fall happens, I'm. I'm ready for Christmas. And I want to, like, edge towards Christmas. I don't want just December to be Christmas. Like, I want the whole fall experience to be leading up to the main event, if that makes sense. So my entire house, I'm decorating. But last year, I didn't do the outside of my house. Like, do you do your house?
Diamante
I just do inside my living room.
Saweetie
Okay. Yes.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
You're, like, making it cozy.
Diamante
Yeah. Making it cozy.
Saweetie
What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
Diamante
Christmas Eve with my family.
Saweetie
What do you do?
Diamante
Like, we open up presents that night. Not on Christmas day. Oh, but like my favorite childhood memories would be like, my mom's mom cooking Filipino food. Hella food. Doing karaoke. And then at 12 o'clock, we'd all open up our presents.
Saweetie
I always used to be like, please let us open our presents on Christmas Eve. And my mom would be like, one. And then I was always like the freak that was like trying to like open them and then re wrap them at night. No, I was, I was like. So my mom was like, well, then you're not getting any your presents. But I was like, I'm obsessed and it's just like the best time. Wait, speaking of food, I'm swerving, but I have heard that you like a lot of, like, different concoctions of food that maybe some people would be like, wait, that's gross. Can you talk to me about some of the things that you're pairing together that are like, random but good in your opinion?
Diamante
Okay, so do you like sushi?
Saweetie
Of course.
Diamante
Okay, so like, for a tuna roll, okay, I'll get hot Cheetos and I'll smush them up and then I'll drizzle them over the tuna roll.
Saweetie
That's fucking brilliant.
Diamante
It's actually really good.
Saweetie
But are you bringing the Cheetos into.
Diamante
No, no. Only if I like, do some Postmates. Yeah, you're like, imagine some muggling in some hot Cheetos.
Saweetie
You got your big purse and you wait for the waiter to walk away, sprinkling. Not now though. Like, I'm not mad about it. Okay, so Cheetos on top of sushi. I've read. Is this true? Spaghetti with ranch.
Diamante
Finally a rumor. That's true.
Saweetie
Stop. When is the first time you tried that?
Diamante
Honestly, I grew up doing that. Like, that was so second nature to me. So when I had posted it the first time online, I thought nothing of it. And then I was trending like an hour later and I'm like, why is this causing such a frenzy? Right?
Saweetie
You're like, I've been doing this since I was born.
Diamante
Yeah, since I was born.
Saweetie
I think also when you're a child, like, you do some stuff that like people I don't know, it's like, I guess like, however you grow up. Right? But like, this is kind of fucking disgusting. And I wouldn't do it now, but like, I'm pretty sure when I was younger I put, this is gross.
Alex Cooper
I'm pretty Sure.
Saweetie
I put ketchup on my mashed potatoes.
Diamante
Wait, but it's like a French fry. That's where. That's where.
Saweetie
Period.
Diamante
Wait, what? She want to hear something nasty?
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
So when I was a little girl, in the middle of the night, I used to sneak into the fridge and eat butter by itself. And one day I got caught by my mom, like, red handed, like, with a whole bunch of butter, girl. She scared the crap out of me. She was like, if you continue to eat that butter by itself, you're going to turn into Chucky. I promise you. I never touch butter again. Shut the fuck up.
Saweetie
No, you're just raw dogging it, like, and biting into it. Sweetie, I know something's wrong with me. You're literally, like, going in with your teeth.
Diamante
Yes.
Saweetie
Would you ever smooth it out so no one saw it in the morning? Or were you just leaving it like little chickens?
Diamante
No, I was. I was going in in the middle of the night as a little kid.
Saweetie
I mean, listen, butter is. Look at us, just fully talking about food. We're gonna talk about food the whole fucking episode. No. Okay. Your legal name is Diamante?
Diamante
Yes.
Saweetie
Girl, does everyone in your life call you that or do they call you Saweetie?
Diamante
Some people call me Diamante.
Saweetie
What do your best friends call you?
Diamante
It depends.
Saweetie
Tell me.
Diamante
It depends from what era they met me at. Okay, so my childhood best friends, they'll call me Dee Dee. Dee Dee. My middle school friends will call me Saweetie because That was my MySpace name and that's where I had got Saweetie from. Like, my MySpace was so poppin. I'd be at, like high school parties where I'd be at, you know, walking to school, and they'd be like, are you Saweetie from MySpace? Yes.
Saweetie
What the fuck were you doing on MySpace?
Diamante
Girl was coding the fuck out of my page. I was, you know, in the middle of the night, sweaty, finding all the codes, girl. I was a nerd. So my MySpace was like, very aesth.
Saweetie
Stop. You were a coder from day one.
Diamante
I was a coder from day one. Not even knowing that I was coding. Girl, she got paid for that.
Saweetie
No. Gen Z has no fucking idea. Like, if you missed the MySpace era, changing the backgrounds, getting your new song.
Diamante
Hiding your song or hiding your song that nobody knew about, you know?
Alex Cooper
Oh, my God.
Saweetie
And so people literally just knew you because you were fucking cool.
Diamante
I mean, I guess.
Saweetie
Okay, wait, but before. Now take me back. Before you start your MySpace, where do you get the name Saweetie?
Diamante
My grandma. Yeah.
Saweetie
How did she give you that name?
Diamante
She would just call me her sweetie.
Saweetie
That's so fucking cute.
Diamante
Yeah. And then I was signing up for MySpace, and at the time, I didn't really, like, like my name. How I love my name now, only because people wouldn't pronounce it right. So I was like, I don't want to, like, put it up. And then people just don't know how to pronounce my name. So I was like, I need some fly shit. But then I don't want it to be, like, basic. So I put the A between the S and the W, and the rest was history.
Saweetie
Who knew then one day that would be, like, your global name that the entire world knows you as and not just, like, a MySpace community.
Diamante
But you want to know what was even crazier is I had started, like, a business, a hat and a T shirt business. And my grandma was like, I know you're going to be a big businesswoman one day. I know that you're going to need your name. So she bought Saweetie. Like, she bought me the website Saweetie. Like, when I was like. I think. I think I was, like, 18 years old. 17 or 18 years old, she was like, I know you're gonna, like, do something, so let me just get this for you because as a businesswoman, you're gonna need to trademark it.
Saweetie
That, like, gives me chills. Just because, like, it seems like you obviously had, like, a pretty great relationship with your grandmother.
Diamante
Yeah, she's everything to me.
Saweetie
Is she still with us?
Diamante
Yes, girl.
Alex Cooper
She's.
Diamante
She's 70 going on 21.
Saweetie
What does she think of your whole career now?
Diamante
She has mixed emotions. Okay? She loves it, but when she hears, like, the negative press, it stresses her out. But she's a preacher, so she goes to, like, war for me in prayer. She's like my prayer warrior. So she's constantly praying for me.
Saweetie
What do you think stresses her out the most? And, like, what could be negative about you?
Diamante
I think that the fact that she knows that some of the. The rumors aren't true, and she's just like, why don't you say anything? Like, this isn't who you are. And I'm just like, it's just only going to make the story bigger. So I choose not to address certain things because I don't want to add fuel to the fire. And the best way to get rid of something is to ignore it. So she just like, yeah, but, you know, I know my baby, and that's not my Baby right there. So, yeah, she just be going through it sometime.
Saweetie
But how did you decide, like, at what point in your career where you're like, do not give a fuck what people say about me? Because it's easier said than done.
Diamante
I have two answers for this. Okay, so the first half, I would say in the earlier on in my career, I would say I would just disassociate myself from Saweetie, because there's Diamante and there's Saweetie. I'm like, okay, if y'all knew Diamante to know me and to love me, I wouldn't be doing all this shitty stuff to me. So at first it was disassociation, but now I'm just so at peace with just who I am. I'm like, God knows my heart. And as long as God knows my heart, there's no problem.
Saweetie
Sweetie, why are you getting emotional?
Diamante
Because it took so long to get here.
Saweetie
Tell me about that. What do you mean? Like, you're talking about, like, your journey to get here. Oh, man, you're making me cry, girl. Should we take a water break? We went from fucking Cheetos in the motherfucker.
Diamante
I don't know why that just made me feel that way, because I think.
Saweetie
That when you are someone that is. You know yourself, like, and what it took and everything, and then you read, like, the bullshit, and it's such bullshit. You're like, wait, this is what I'm getting reduced to right now. Like, I mean, I could be speaking out of turn. Like, I don't know if that's your experience, but.
Diamante
Exactly.
Saweetie
It's hard to be like, guys, oh, my gosh, no.
Diamante
I told myself I wasn't going to do this today.
Saweetie
Here we are, one on the clock on a Monday. Without getting too detailed, I'm thinking, obviously, of, like, if someone is listening, that's like, becoming a new fan today. Or, like, knows you, but it's a little. Like, what the are you guys talking about? Can you lightly just explain a little bit of what we're talking about? Like, are we talking romantic? Are we talking friendship? Are we talking work beef?
Diamante
Like, I think it's everything. Because as a public figure, all parts of my life in those categories are exposed.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
But I think what I get the most sensitive about is my art, because I'm like, y'all don't know how much I put into this, you know, I.
Saweetie
Think it is important, though, to recognize, like, especially with artists, so much goes into it because it's a huge part of you.
Diamante
Absolutely.
Saweetie
Like, you're clearly someone that's not just being handed a script and being like, wear this. Dress like this. Sing like this. Like this is you.
Diamante
Yeah, I'm very peculiar, so I have to be very involved with everything. Otherwise I'll get the final product and be like, we gotta change this, this, and that, and then it takes away more time. So I'd rather just be hands on from the jump.

Just go to Sephora. Here is what I want you guys to think about. Every time you're stressing getting someone a gift, it's like, okay, does someone on your list have a face? I am guessing yes. Gift them makeup. Okay. Do they have skin? Yes. Quality skincare products are always a hit. Do they have a nose? Grab the best fragrance. The best in makeup, skincare, hair care and fragrance are always at Sephora, not to mention exclusive gift sets too. So this holiday, don't overthink it. Give something beautiful from Sephora.
Saweetie
When would you ever pop off on someone? Like, when are you going to actually like, what does it take? Never.
Diamante
I never want to go off on somebody because the thoughts that I think are outrageous.
Saweetie
Sweetie.
Diamante
Yes. No, my thoughts. And I just did my, like my Vedic astrology chart.
Saweetie
Okay?
Diamante
And then that in that system, my moon is a Scorpio. So it just lets you know, like, where my mind can Go. So I'm like, don't with me. For real.
Saweetie
So you're always this calm?
Diamante
I try to be, because I just know. I know myself.
Saweetie
I'm staring at you right now. You're so, like, even keel, like, calm. Like, it's nice. It's, like, relaxing, actually, to, like, be around you, but I'm trying to envision you, like, like, what it takes for someone to, like, push you over the edge, but you rarely let it get to that point. No, because then they also win.
Diamante
Yeah. Also. Yeah, let's talk about that, too. It's an energy exchange, and it's just like, I'd rather alchemize the energy, like, take it and then use this energy for something else. Like, I don't want to give that back to you.
Saweetie
I feel like that sometimes in romantic relationships, it can be hard not to go tit for tat and be like, you did this and I did this. But I feel like you've kind of gotten to a place where clearly you're like.
Diamante
Interestingly, it's weird because sometimes it's like they want a response out of you. They don't even appreciate the growth.
Saweetie
And it, like, annoys them when you're.
Diamante
Like, yeah, it annoys them.
Saweetie
No, when you're like, okay, and they're like, wait, what the fuck? I literally just called you an xyz and your response is, no, you doing it right there. I can only imagine. Yeah, that must drive people insane.
Diamante
I mean.
Saweetie
It'S kind of a superpower. I'm. I'm not as strong as you. I, like, I. I feel the same way sometimes with my words, where I'm like, I could kill you with my words. And I think I. When I was younger, in high school and in college, if someone came for me or my friend, I almost felt, like, worse when I would see my friend, like, someone coming for them, and I knew they wouldn't speak up for themselves. So then I was the friend that was like, hold on, let me get the fuck in here, and I'm going to say something. But then I also realized, like, who is that helping in that moment? Like, I don't know. I feel like sometimes I felt like being, like, loud and taking charge and putting the person down would, like, make me feel better. But, like, you're just getting riled up, and they're just happy that you're engaging at the same level as them, where really, when you're like, what are you doing? They're literally like. And they're screaming and they're being Insane. And you're like, what, are you good? Oh, my God. They want to die. They want to crawl into a hole. They're like, oh, my God. Wait, wait. So I think it's. I agree. The energy level can be interesting in the way that you interact with someone can, like, heavily dictate. Also the way that you leave someone feeling about you.
Diamante
Absolutely. And it's took me a while to get here.
Saweetie
Yeah, yeah.
Alex Cooper
It.
Diamante
I wasn't always this, like, poised when it came to my reaction, so trust me, like, if. As long as you work on it, like, you'll see yourself evolve.
Saweetie
Yeah. Yeah. Your career took off after you released the song Icy Girl.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
And it's all about wealth and luxury, but obviously that's not how your life looked your whole life. I remember reading you were saying you would go on Craigslist.
Diamante
Yes.
Saweetie
And stay. How did that come to be.
Diamante
So you know, when you get an apartment, you have to do first and last. First month's and last month's rent.
Saweetie
Yes.
Diamante
And I was like, oh, we got money for Facebook. So I was like, okay, how do I. How do I find a loophole? And the loophole was Craigslist. Because when you're renting or subletting a room from somebody, you're only just paying for your portion of the rent, and it's their name on the lease. So. Thankfully, I've had some cool roommates. My two favorite. Oh, my gosh. Bless this old lady's heart. There was a. There was an older lady in Studio City, and she had a guest house, and I stayed in. I stayed in her guest house. And then there was another woman who I stayed with in Sherman Oaks. Her. I think her roommate was. Had to go back and renew his visa.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
So I had subletted his room, and I was just, like, being blessed with all these good roommates that were clean, nice, respectful.
Saweetie
I was about to say you can have some, like, horror stories. I feel like, for roommates.
Diamante
Well, honestly, you have to trust your gut. Like, I'd go see some places and I'd be. I wouldn't, like, mess with the energy, and I'd be like, I gotta go.
Saweetie
You, like, knew immediately.
Diamante
I knew immediately. And also a red flag for any people who do do it. Anybody who is super eager and pressing you to rent a room, I wouldn't trust that. Yeah.
Saweetie
That is good advice.
Diamante
Yeah. I don't know why, but when you're. When you're thirsty and eager to, like, have a stranger come rent a room, like, I don't trust that personality trait.
Saweetie
Yeah. You're like, why are you desperate?
Diamante
Yeah, why are you desperate?
Saweetie
Like, I want to work for a little bit.
Diamante
Yeah. I don't know that it's something. Just be off a little bit.
Saweetie
That is, like, beautiful to know, though, that you had, like, a positive experience with that. Because it's weird in life when you, like, get matched up with people that you would probably would have never met.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
And then that, like, has a lasting impact on you and at such, like, a pivotal time for you where you were, like, looking for a home and trying to get to the next step of your career and to have someone be so beautiful and, like, lovely towards you.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
That completely changes the dynamic. As opposed to if you went with one of the fucking freaks that was like, come on. Come on the night. Exactly.
Diamante
That's the vibe.
Saweetie
Like, where would I be if I took that offer? Let's talk about your love life. What's happening? Are we seeing anybody? Are we in a relationship? Are we single?
Diamante
I am seeing somebody. Yeah.
Saweetie
Talk to me.
Diamante
Their name starts with a C. I.
Saweetie
Thought you were gonna say their name.
Diamante
Do you wanna know their name? Kind of my career girl.
Saweetie
Saweetie. No. Navi being like, oh, my God. Fuck. She's really down today. You're like, Christian. Blah. Damn. Okay. You're dating your career.
Diamante
Yeah. Intentionally.
Saweetie
When did you get off the sauce?
Diamante
What does that mean?
Saweetie
Like, when did you be? Like, I'm not. I'm getting off of men for a second. I'm not dating.
Diamante
I just feel like I'm at a really special time in my career, and I just have all these ideas, and I want to channel my energy in a way where I feel like I can make the steps to where I see myself going. And, you know, I'm just really happy right now. I'm happy where my life is heading. So I'm dating my career.
Saweetie
I love that answer. I think that, like, needs to. I wish that was more of my answer when I was younger, because I think sometimes we naturally feel like, wait, do I need to get back out there? Like, is it weird that I'm not dating? And it's like, no. I think you need to go through, like, long periods of time where you can decide what your focus is. And I think that's, like, amazing that you're focusing on your career.
Diamante
And then also, let me say this. I feel like some people who I've dated in the past, we would have been better off as creative partners. There was this TikTok, you know, sometimes.
Saweetie
Tick tock.
Diamante
Be Having the information girl. There's this woman, and I wish I knew her handle because I'm so grateful for this wisdom she had provided. But she was basically saying that sexual energy and creative energy comes from the same place. And when you confuse the energy, you can sometimes, you know, make, I wouldn't say the wrong decision, but you can lean in more into the sexual energy, but then that ruins the creative energy because you've already depleted the energy.
Saweetie
That's such a good point. Like, anyone that ends up have, even if you're not in your specific industry. Like, people listening. Like, I get it. There's so many people that write into me about, like, work relationships, and I get what you're saying, and that's a great fudgeing TikTok, because it's like the way that you can feel when you complete a project or you get to the next level of your career, or you guys go to a fucking presentation and you crush it. It's like that feeling of like, oh, we. We have to rip our clothes off.
Diamante
And it's like, no, it's a different way of finishing.
Saweetie
I fucking love you. What if we were dating? What is it like to date you?
Diamante
Well, now, if all of your exes.
Saweetie
Were in this room right now, what.
Diamante
Nightmare I won, what that conversation would be like?
Saweetie
What do you think they would all say? Is there a theme?
Diamante
A theme? Oh, my gosh, girl, you have to ask them.
Saweetie
Would that be happy vibes or, like, bad vibes?
Diamante
If exes were in this room, I think happy vibes.
Saweetie
Really?
Diamante
Yeah, because, like, I don't really, like, no matter what happens, I like girl, I just be happy. I'm naturally just a happy person. So I'd be like, damn, you did some shady shit. But I'm like, my energy is so disconnected from you that I cannot associate myself with what happened between us and just look at you as a regular human being.
Saweetie
Oh, that's so nice. I think a lot of people wish they could feel that way. Like, they could not get so wrapped up in. You hurt me, and you did this to me. And, like, how dare you?
Diamante
Like, but also something we have to unpack, too, is a lot of men have unaddressed trauma that they don't face, and they project it on their partners. So sometimes I'd be thinking about stuff and I'd be like, what happened to you in your childhood?
Saweetie
No, actually, no.
Diamante
Right. So then it makes me look at what they did to me because I know that they really love me.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
Like, I know that. So I'm Just like, you got some things to unpack. You should probably handle that. Because if you were to handle that, then we probably would have worked out.
Saweetie
It's such a mature way to look at things. Like, essentially, also what you're saying is, like, it has nothing to do with you. And that's, I think, hard for people sometimes to accept. Like, if someone is listening to this and just got cheated on, and you can't help but sometimes think, like, what did I do wrong? Or, what did I not give them? Or what? And it's like, most of the time, it literally has nothing to do with you, which is a weird thing because you almost, like, want to be able to pinpoint in yourself what you could change so it never happens again.
Diamante
Right.
Saweetie
But half of the time, it's literally on the other individual. Like, you were doing fucking great.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
You were thriving, sweetie.
Diamante
Right. And I knew that I was a good girlfriend. So it's like, I'm like, something wrong with you.
Saweetie
I like that answer. Okay. In one of your songs, you describe your type as someone who makes eight figures and is eight inches. What other qualities do you look for in a partner?
Diamante
Somebody who has high emotional intelligence.
Saweetie
Moment of silence for that. We're like, come to us. We're summoning you. But legit, if they don't have that, I agree with you. But how do you even get to the point where you can figure out, like, are they a sweet talker or are they actually, like, with it emotionally that they can hang with me?
Diamante
Honestly, just experience. We have to experience a unique situation, and that tells anybody how somebody is.
Saweetie
Yeah, that's true. Like, the honeymoon stage can be so easy. Daddy gang. Like, you can be like, oh, love the sex, the conversations. And then you hit, like, one bump in the road. Someone has a problem with family or finances or insecurity, jealousy. And all of a sudden, how do you guys handle that?
Diamante
Right?
Saweetie
It's a good point. Okay, it seems like you have a type. Do you. Do you know? Do you know what I'm going to say? What do you think your type is?
Diamante
What's my type? You say. You brought it up. You brought it up. Is your show.
Saweetie
Rappers?
Diamante
Okay, let's talk about it.
Saweetie
Okay.
Diamante
Okay. So, for example, if you're out of high school, right, you tend to date. I mean, high school or whatever. Let's just call it whatever the proximity is.
Saweetie
Yes.
Diamante
You're gonna date what you're around.
Saweetie
Yes.
Diamante
And I think that's why I found myself in those situations, because these are the only people that I'm around. However, you know, I'd like to go to a new environment. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Saweetie
Do you think you would venture out?
Diamante
Well, me and my career is doing just fine right now, so.
Saweetie
You know, I like that answer though, because I think there's nothing wrong with a type. And I also think it's.
Diamante
But I wouldn't even call it my, like a type.
Saweetie
A type.
Diamante
I think it's just because of the proximity of where I'm always at. These are the people who I'm only engaging and seeing, you know?
Alex Cooper
Yes.
Saweetie
I remember like back in the day I would talk about how I had a pattern. Pattern is better than a tight look at me. Be like. No, it was just like a little pattern. I had a pattern of dating athletes.
Diamante
How is that, by the way?
Saweetie
So dating athletes? Yeah, you know, it's, it's. It'll fuck you up, but it'll make you. It's just. It depends actually what sport too. Okay.
Diamante
What's the difference? So let's break it down for Icy Gang and Daddy. Yeah, yeah.
Saweetie
Okay, so baseball players, okay. I find that they are sometimes the sketchiest, really? Because they're on the road. They have 160 something games a year.
Diamante
Okay.
Saweetie
So they're on the road at all times.
Diamante
Okay.
Saweetie
And they're playing so many fucking games. Where. As opposed to football. It's like 16 fucking games. And like they're not allowed to have girls in the hotel room. It's super strict for football. It's like we got 16 fucking games, motherfucker. Bam. Bear down and focus.
Diamante
Right?
Saweetie
Baseball, it's like another day, another game. And so it's kind of more of like a relaxed environment. So there's road beef in every fucking city. We got Minnesota road beef. We've got Miami road beef. And they literally like call it road beef.
Diamante
What's road beef?
Saweetie
Women.
Diamante
Oh, world beef. Oh, hell no.
Saweetie
Fuck you. So were the like.
Diamante
And I remember, well, at least be some wagyu beef.
Saweetie
No, no. But just to confirm, I am the wagyu. Some ground beef, Taco meat?
Diamante
No.
Saweetie
So in college, I remember I was dating this guy and I would be around his single like baseball athletes. And the way that they would talk about it was so concerning because it was just like every fucking city there was a different rotation because I think it's like they're just on the move and they're looking like. It's almost like when you're in a.
Alex Cooper
Bubble, whether you're like.
Saweetie
It doesn't even feel like real Life when I was like living that life with them. Like they're just every day is this Groundhog Day. They wake up, they go, go to the field, they come home, they have a drink at the bar, they meet the girl, they go to sleep, they do it the next day in the same fucking city. So I would say baseball players are like lethal.
Diamante
They seem so clean cut.
Saweetie
No, I never date soccer players because that didn't really do it for me. And hockey players, great, great butts, no teeth, great butts. And they're kind of. I thought they were better than baseball players. Really still players, but like a little nicer.
Diamante
I've never been attracted to athletes.
Saweetie
That's probably for the best.
Diamante
But then again because like I come from a family full of athletes. So it just always feels like you, my cousin like you.
Saweetie
I don't want to fuck my cousin.
Diamante
Yeah. So I've never. Because I never talked to an athlete.
Saweetie
Really.
Diamante
Never.
Saweetie
I think you also wouldn't have time for them. It's so on their schedule. And I think you have such a busy schedule. You've got to be very available for an athlete. Like you got to be up and ready to pick up and go their life. And you don't have time for that.
Diamante
No, girl, I literally, I mean, you know this. I shot until like 4 in the morning last night.
Saweetie
And now you're here.
Diamante
And now I'm here.

Diamante
I have made the first move before.
Saweetie
And is that like you going up to them and approaching them or what's.
Diamante
What are you walking up 10 toes down?
Saweetie
And what are you saying? Flirting with me, Sweetie, let's reenact it. I mean, it just says, okay. Okay. It's like the vibe in the setting, but you're totally down to go up someone.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
I love that. Like, if you see something, go for it.
Diamante
Absolutely.
Saweetie
What is the boldest way that you've ever put yourself out there for a guy? No.
Diamante
Okay. This is high school. Okay. High school. Okay. Actually, in high school, I talked to an athlete. Yeah, there we go. But after high school. No, done. I remember it was my senior year, and I had a crush on this boy, and I was like, dang, I only got one more year to see him on campus.
Saweetie
The clock is running out.
Diamante
The clock is running out. You know, he was like, I was big in volleyball. I was doing my thing, and he was playing football, and we had a, like, an athlete room where, like, the football players would come review their tapes. And then we played during the same season. So, you know, the volleyball girls would come in there, and it felt like one big family. But I was like, how do I, like, get him? Because he was shy.
Saweetie
Yep.
Diamante
Girl. So it's rush week. So I go and I was like, I have a plan. So me and my plan get together, and it's lunch, and we're all sitting in the room, and finally I'm like, I tap him. I'm like, oh, somebody wants to go speak to you outside. He. He was like, who? I was like, you know, like, probably one of the organizations. It is rush week. And he was like, okay. Because, you know, sometimes they'll recruit.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
And if you weren't an athlete, you couldn't come into the. The room.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
It was, like, taboo. Like, heavily frowned upon. So we walk outside and we start Walking. And he was like, who was it? And I was like, me.
Saweetie
What did he say?
Diamante
He started laughing.
Saweetie
It's kind of like really, really forward. And I love it.
Diamante
He started laughing and he goes like, why? And I'm just like, because I wanted to talk to you.
Saweetie
Did you end up going on a date? Hooking up? We, like, falling in love.
Diamante
We started to go to each other's games. I mean, everybody was already going to the football games because they were winning that year. And then they were already coming to the volleyball games because you know how the football players got to practice.
Saweetie
They go to the.
Diamante
Yeah, but we like intentionally started going to each other's games to, like, support each other. And then we would go to like In N Out afterwards because, like, that was like the high school club open until 1am in the morning on the weekends. But yeah, I would go over to his house and like, his family would cook for me. I would do my homework over there.
Saweetie
So it worked out. Oh, well, not worked out, but I mean, like, oh, what happened? Did he cheat on you?
Diamante
No, I got bored, so I had to break up with him.
Saweetie
You got bored?
Diamante
Yeah, I was like, I think we'd be better off as friends.
Saweetie
Shout out, wherever you are today, we love you.
Diamante
But I was honest.
Saweetie
You were?
Diamante
Yeah, I'm very straightforward. If I feel like something's not working out, like, I'll tell you, I feel like we're not working out.
Saweetie
Okay. What is the craziest thing an ex has ever done to you? Give us a fucking story. Come on, sweetie. Come on. This is. Call her daddy, bitch. Oh, my God. Craziest thing.
Diamante
Go. This actually has happened to me twice. I don't know where men get their information, but I've had like. I've broken up with people and they found me. What?
Saweetie
What does that mean?
Diamante
Wait, like, they'll show up to my hotel and be like, room service.
Saweetie
Shut the fuck up.
Diamante
Yeah, it's happened to me twice.
Saweetie
Room service.
Diamante
And what the fuck is cherry on top is? They try to make their voices high pitched. They go, room service.
Saweetie
If only there was a fucking camera outside that room of them, like, girl.
Diamante
But I know, but. But then it's like they cover the peacoat.
Saweetie
Do you let them in?
Diamante
I did, I did. I was like, dang, you found me. How'd you find me?
Saweetie
You're like, somehow you're spinning it. You're like kind of romantic. You put in the work. You found me. How have you been someone to historically get back with exes or once you're Done. Are you done?
Diamante
I feel like once I'm done, I'm done. Mm.
Saweetie
Except for when they show up to the hotel.
Diamante
Um, I feel like those were, like, mini breakups.
Saweetie
Okay.
Diamante
Like, it was like we were going through something. I might have blocked them. It probably was like, a couple days or a couple weeks.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
And I'm just like, it's like a soft breakup, you know? Not a hard breakup.
Saweetie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you a big blocker?
Diamante
I'm a big blocker. Send you a paragraph and block your ass. And I want to see them bubbles popping up so I know that you trying to hit.
Saweetie
I'm obsessed. How long? Because I'm assuming then you unblock.
Diamante
I've unblocked before, but there's people who are still on my blacklist. There's been years.
Saweetie
Oh, and you don't even wonder?
Diamante
No, I don't, because I think that.
Saweetie
I remember I had a friend that, like, we would always talk about this back in the day when I was in my blocking phase, and she would always say, like, I don't know how you block people. Like, I need to see what they're going to say. Like, it's so interesting to me, and I'm like, really? Like, I kind of want it to just fade into the abyss.
Diamante
I love that. Go to the abyss.
Saweetie
I kind of don't know what you're gonna say. And, like. And then you can kind of, like, create what you think they would say in your head. But I kind of don't want to know.
Diamante
Right.
Saweetie
Okay.
Alex Cooper
Wow.
Saweetie
You're hitting paragraph, then block. Hit a genius. What is your stance on keeping gifts from an ex?
Diamante
It really just depends.
Saweetie
Okay.
Diamante
You know, like, if It's a custom 101, I'm keeping it custom.
Saweetie
One of one.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
Like, what is a custom one of one that you have?
Diamante
You know, it's a couple things. Jewelry, jewelry, purse, purses.
Saweetie
What's the nicest bag of guys ever bought you?
Diamante
I would say a customized Birkin. And he sent it to me before I met him.
Saweetie
What? I don't have time. I'm a very talkative person. I don't have words.
Diamante
Yeah, it was like, some player shit. It was my birthday, I was single, and, you know, we were, like, casually talking, and he was like, what's your address? Isn't your birthday coming up? And I was like, yeah. Like, oh, that's nice. He's gonna send me flowers. What's funny is, so my birthday passes. It's a week. My maids have cleaned, you know, my condo, and he Hits me up, and he's like, so, did you like your birthday present? And I'm like, I never got it. And he goes, it should have came in this kind of box. So then I text my maids, and they're like, oh, yeah, we put the box in the guest room because we didn't know what it was. So I open up the box, bitch, I hit that group chat.
Saweetie
You're like.
Diamante
I was like, it was nice.
Saweetie
How long after then, did you meet him in person?
Diamante
Oh, for a while.
Saweetie
What?
Diamante
Yeah, I was working a lot.
Saweetie
You got a whole ass Birkin before meeting a man, you have the voodoo clam. He didn't even meet you, and he knew. But how long did that relationship go? Too long or short?
Diamante
I wouldn't even say it was a relationship.
Saweetie
Interesting.
Diamante
No, it was just like, my player partner.
Saweetie
Like, did he gift you a lot of things?
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
Red flag.
Diamante
No.
Saweetie
Cause, like, you own it.
Diamante
No, I think. I think that might have been his love language, you know, Interesting. Like, I didn't see it as, like, oh, he's a trick, or he's this, like. I really appreciated his gifts. They were very, like, thought out the.
Saweetie
Amount of women watching this that are like, note to self. Find a man whose love language is customized Birkins. Okay. Worst way that you found out that you've gotten cheated on before. No, she was up and left the room. She just got up. Oh, my heart. Boss. Oh, hold on. If you're listening to this, not watching, Saweetie basically just levitated into the air and flipped off the chair.
Diamante
Let me take a little sippy sip.
Saweetie
Oh, my God. No. Bad. No.
Diamante
Oh, my goodness gracious. I just spilled my water on me. I need a napkin. Aaron, can you please stop reaction?
Saweetie
Holy shit.
Diamante
Jesus.
Saweetie
Jesus Christ. Okay, okay.
Diamante
So I remember I was talking to this guy, right?
Saweetie
Okay.
Diamante
And it was New Year's, and I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, I'm just so happy to see this person. And we go out for New Year's, the great night, and we go back to the hotel. I'm like, oh, my gosh. This is the most perfect New Year's ever. Like, we're out of town. It's just like, the vibes were vibing. You could feel the energy in the streets, like love was in the air. It's the new year, new me. It's like all these great things happening, and I'm just like. If I felt like I was in a movie. So we get back to the hotel, and I remember I had got a call from, like, A childhood friend. And when I had picked up the phone, I put it on speaker because I had nothing to hide. And I'm like, oh, Happy New Year's. He was like, happy New Year's. I love you. Like, you've been killing this shit. Like, keep going. Da da da da. So I'm like, you too. Like, love you too. Happy New Year's. I hang up. He's so, like, drunk that he misinterprets the call and was like, you like, wow. Like, okay. Like, I know that y'all be doing this, this and that, you know, projecting. Like, he couldn't believe that I had a plutonic relationship with this person and this person's my childhood friend. Like, nothing is going on, okay? So he starts cussing me out. He was like, I would never do this to you. He was like, man, you can go through my phone. My code is da da da da da. And I go, oh, it's da da da da da da da da da da da da. No, I put the code in my phone, but I'm thinking he's probably just like, drunk, you know, right? Nothing. Like, it's not the real code. So finally he goes to sleep. So it's time to investigate, investigate, investigate. So I'm like, okay, so I. I saved the code, girl. I said. And it goes, you know, it's like, you're like. I'm like, wow, that easy, girl. This man has been playing me the whole time. No, but I knew it was like a sickness because it was like, all types of women.
Alex Cooper
Really?
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
Did you go for the imessages first or the pictures?
Diamante
I went. I went to the assistant group chat. I went to the assistant messages because, you know, the assistant set up everything for, like, the man.
Saweetie
Oh, my.
Diamante
Oh. And then I was typing in keywords, like, genius, genius. So it was pulling up all the receipts. Yeah, girl. And I remember I had got so sick, but then so numb that I didn't care because it wasn't like. It wasn't like one person, you know? You know, like, it's not. You're not obsessing over one person. It's like, okay, no, you have the sickness, right?
Saweetie
Like, this is. You can't stop yourself.
Diamante
You can't stop yourself.
Saweetie
What word did you type into the search bar?
Diamante
Girl. Anything that's used.
Saweetie
You're like, P, U S Y thousand Fucking Jesus Christ. You're like, no, that's. That's crazy. And so when he wakes up in the morning, what are we doing?
Diamante
Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl. Just know A time was had. I'm like, oh, really? You a tough guy?
Saweetie
Stop. So, okay, back to the beginning of this episode when I was like, what can get you on a different tilt? Did you enter that different hill is.
Diamante
What your girl went to a different dimension.
Saweetie
Girl?
Diamante
Stop. Girl. Girl. Craziest night of my life. My best friend was staying in the same hotel as us. I'm just like. I was like, the audacity. And then what made me, like, I always had humor to, like, my pain. So I'm just kind of like, how dare this boy get mad over a simple conversation? Yet here you are doing abcdefg xyz, you know?
Alex Cooper
No.
Saweetie
That's when it's so crazy because I've had an ex like that where he was cheating and I. Like, he would always get so anxious and say things about me if it was like, the most innocent. Like, we. I don't even know that person. Like, wait, what? Like, here's my phone. Like, I don't know. And when they're so hard on you for that shit, eventually you have to be like, well, what the fuck are you doing that your brain is even on that tilt? Because I'm not even thinking.
Diamante
But it made me realize that when someone does that to you, it's because that's what they would do. Exactly. So they're, like, projecting. They're projecting from their experience.
Saweetie
Yes.
Diamante
Yeah. Dude.
Saweetie
How long did you stay in that situation then? Did you leave? Did you leave that day? It's okay if you didn't.
Diamante
No. But let's just say, yeah, girl, we were out of town. And, yeah, girl.
Saweetie
I have never had someone answer a question like that.
Diamante
And yet it does.
Saweetie
So many words. Okay, wow. So it ended eventually, though.
Diamante
Yeah, clearly.
Alex Cooper

Saweetie
Where do you draw the line of forgiving someone when you find out they cheated?
Diamante
Honestly, I was younger, so, like, I. For me, it was like, oh, this is definitely a deal breaker. But, you know, when, like, you're in love with somebody, it's just kind of like, okay, well, I can't just delete you out of my life like this.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
But right now, like, in my adult years, like, it's definitely a deal breaker for me. And in that moment, I think I would, like, tell that person, like, you probably have to figure out why you're doing this.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
You know, that makes sense.
Saweetie
When it comes to your music, what is fair game of, like, writing songs about people that have screwed you over or you've been in love with? Like, where do you draw the line?
Diamante
Mm. I think I keep it ambiguous.
Saweetie
Okay.
Diamante
Yeah. And I feel like from my album, I am going into deeper subjects, and I'm really excited about that. I feel like I'm in my diamond era. Like, I came in as an icy girl, but through all this pressure that I placed on myself and all the pressure that I've experienced with the industry, I feel like it's pressurized me into this diamond that's ready to shine.
Saweetie
I fucking love that for you. Obviously, I know you have been teasing an album for a while. When can people expect it to come out?
Diamante
Definitely next year.
Saweetie
Okay.
Diamante
Yeah.
Saweetie
Why was it so important for you to wait to release it?
Diamante
I feel like I finally know myself. I felt like I was constantly in this weird transition phase, especially with recording. What am I even talking about? But with who I am now, I know what my public messaging is.
Alex Cooper
Love.
Saweetie
Okay, Christmas songs. We need to talk about this. I'm in my car, my ooh, ooh, ooh. And like we said at the beginning of this episode, I fucking love Christmas. You love Christmas. Talk to me about deciding to do these two Christmas songs. Like, how did you decide to do this?
Diamante
Well, you know, I love Icy Season because I'm an Icy girl. And it's just like, I gotta give something to the Icy gang this winter. So I wanted to create, like, two songs that really spoke to the two different sides of Christmas. I got Big Santa, where I'm like, big daddy, what you get at me? And then my other Christmas song is a little bit more, you know, softer. It's like, cater to you vibes. Like, not only like, what can you give me? But what can I give you?
Saweetie
Oh, my God. So we did. It's good. Like, everything that you do and put out all of your music is such a vibe. And I think, like, again, I'm happy I got to talk to you today for a longer period of time than just, like, meeting you on tour. But, like, watching you on stage at my tour was such a spiritual experience, truly. All of us were, like, holding hands and gripping each other, being like, she's fucking insane. Even to the point where my team had texted me when you were in soundcheck, being like, oh, this is going to be the best yet. Like, you guys don't even know. You're so talented, and you have such a presence on stage, and just, like, as a person, that I think is so exciting to see what you're going to obviously, continue to do. But, like, I'm obviously so excited for the album, and thank you. You know, we. We want it, Saweetie. We. We want it. I want to ask just because I know obviously your fans are going to be watching this. Like, what is one goal that you have for yourself coming up in this new year and, like, your career that you want to, like, share with your fans?
Diamante
I want to be an action film. Mm. Like a Tomb Raider or like a. Like a Colombiana.
Saweetie
Oh.
Diamante
Something with just action. Cause I really love, like, doing stunts, and I'm a sporty girl. Right. But I love a good heroine.
Saweetie
That is the last thing I expected, and yet, like, I can see it. Wait, are you, like, gonna make that happen?
Diamante
I would like for it to happen. God. Do you hear me?
Saweetie
Yeah. Yeah. Like, here we go. Anybody watching this in Hollywood?
Alex Cooper
Hello.
Saweetie
Wow.
Diamante
And I auditioned, too. I'm not one of those people where I feel like, well, I feel like I can just show up and get the role. Like, I'll be sending in audition tapes.
Saweetie
Yeah.
Diamante
Mm.
Saweetie
I guess, like, last question is, like, what do you think? What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding about you?
Diamante
I'm not sure what the collective thinks, because everybody has their own opinion. But one thing that I do get a lot is that when people meet me, they say, that they didn't expect this. I guess they, like, that's. It's a, It's a common response that I get, but it's for the better because they'd be like, wow, like, the compliments are different. But for some reason there's been a disconnect with who I am and what my perception to, like, the world is.
Saweetie
Yeah, that's interesting because I. I guess, like, I agree and disagree. Like, when I listen to your music, it's so confident. Like, you put this shit on, you're like, I'm gonna fucking feel good when I'm listening to your music. And I think everyone feels that way. And it's. It's like a experience that you literally feel in your body where you're like, oh, yes, like, I'm about to pop my tonight. Let's go. And then meeting you, you are a multi dimensional person. Like, you're not just the person that's hyping everyone up. Like, you have this, like, sweet, sensitive side that I'm like, meeting today. And I met in Oakland. And I think that's something that we don't get to see as often with artists because understandably, like, we're listening to music, but when we are so fortunate to get to also get to know the personality behind the music.
Diamante
Right.
Saweetie
I have found through my job, and it's my favorite part of my job when I meet someone and they are a little bit different than maybe the main public Persona that's being pushed. Because I think it's, again, just shows people, like, we don't know everything. Like, you can listen to a song and think that people know you. You can go listen to one of my episodes and be like, oh, she's this one way. But understandably, like, I'm going to be different when I'm having a fun episode versus when I'm talking about, like, trauma and shit. You know what I mean? Like, we show up in different ways for different moments of our life. And I feel like you're such a beautiful person.
Diamante
Thank you.
Saweetie
That I'm so happy that I got to sit with you because I didn't know as much about you as now. I'm happy to know and like, I love you. I think you're like, such a great vibe. And I'm so happy that we've gotten to connect on this level because I don't. I. I like sitting with people and getting to know them more. And you're amazing.
Diamante
No, thank you. And today, like, I realized why you're number one.
Alex Cooper
Stop.
Diamante
Yes. This was such a comfortable, safe and fun experience. Girl, you almost had me crying in the beginning.
Saweetie
You almost had me crying.
Diamante
I was heaving. I was like, hold on, don't drop a tear.
Alex Cooper
No.
Saweetie
I really appreciate you going there with me though because again, like everything we see online, it can come off as fake. And I think when you get to do long form shit like this, you actually get a chance to like start to finish. Like people now are going to understand you more. Not that you need to give that to them, but like you're a great fucking person, so why not? So thank you. Oh my God. Saweetie, we did it. Thanks for coming and call our daddy.
Diamante
Thank you.
Alex Cooper
This lasagna was so cheesy. My plate was filled with saucy slices.
Saweetie
Then a flimsy store brand plate. No, no, no, no. Ruined it.
Alex Cooper
Next time get Dixie Ultra plates three times stronger than the leading store brand.
Saweetie
10 inch paper plate.
Alex Cooper
Dixie. Make it right.
