Saweetie didn’t want to hear any more accusations of being a “nebo baby,” and took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday to rant about the narrative. She argued that her parents were absent for much of her childhood and that she still had to take enough risks throughout her career.
“I hate the term ‘Baby Nebo,'” she wrote. “This is spit on children because they rarely spend time with their parents since they are little because they are too busy trying to make ends meet. Also, I think Saweetie, a college girl, makes her ‘rich family’ pay for her tuition and She was boarding to enjoy the social experience of college, not working 4 jobs to support herself. She was told to move back home because it was safer and a better “financial option”. Can’t afford studio time?

“I’m proud of all the hard work I’ve done/done and will continue to share my story to inspire those who follow me,” Saweetie concluded. Fans also agreed with her stance in their replies. One user noted: “Nepotism is only a problem if the person is mediocre and gets more opportunities than someone more deserving. I don’t think that applies to you though. It’s obvious you’ve worked hard.” Others Others believe that the concept should be interpreted differently for people of color.
