Rapper Saweetie talks her love of skincare and why confidence is the key to true beauty
Saweetie is a Grammy-nominated rapper with platinum-selling, chart-topping hits, but her signature look-three-inch acrylic nails, artistically crafted baby hairs and over-the-top lashes - inspires nearly as much online chatter as her music. The comments don't rule her.
"I see people on [social media] not liking my lashes. I love me some thick lashes, and I'm never going to change that," Saweetie tells Us.
The 30-year-old California native, born Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper, gets that confidence from her mother, Trinidad Valentin, a video vixen of the early 2000s (she famously appeared in Nelly's 2001 "Ride Wit Me" music video) who stressed the importance of skincare and beauty that comes from the inside out.
