Saweetie Says She's Overworked & Dealing With Mental Health Issues

by Daryl Nelson

It seems that things have been going pretty well for Saweetie as of late. 

Earlier this year, she grew her brand by landing a deal with McDonald's. She also performed on SNL and has a slew of shows booked.

But the California-born rapper is feeling the pressure of being a successful artist, which she spoke to People about during a recent interview.

"I can't believe I worked this hard," Saweetie admitted. "I try to take things day to day. Sometimes I can't look at my calendar on my weekly schedule because it'll give me anxiety. I feel like what I'm working for is starting to pay off, so I'm just really grateful to be acknowledged. I struggle with my mental health and [I don't] have time for myself at all ... It's like I live, sleep, eat and breathe music and business. My team is really small so I have to take on responsibilities that eventually somebody else will but because my team is small, I have to help them out."

"It's just trying to find balance right now," she added. "I have no balance. Everything is just work, work, work and I don't have an outlet. I don't have a therapist. I don't hang out with any of my friends because I work so much, so it's just trying to thug it out into until the New Year."

Earlier this year, Doja Cat said something similar, admitting in a tweet that she's overworked and unhappy.
