Saweetie and YG Confirm Romance In New Photos

Saweetie has found her "type," and it's YG. Photos of the two cozying up in Mexico hit the timeline as the West Coast rappers were enjoying each other's company. The PDA-filled snaps showed YG in a black hat and gold chains as he was hugging and kissing on the "ICY GRL." Saweetie rocked a pink bikini and large box braids.

Rumors of the two dating began when they were seen together at Lala’s Wafflehouse after they attended Coachella last month. Saweetie was also in attendance at YG's 33rd birthday party in March. Prior to their romance, the two linked up musically.  Both rappers are heard on Mozzy's 2022 "In My Face," which also had a guest appearance from 2Chainz.

Previously, Saweetie dated Migos rapper Quavo between 2018 and 2021. She shocked fans when she declared to be single on Twitter.

"I’m single," Saweetie announced on Twitter in March 2021. "I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women."

She added: "I emotionally checked out a long time ago and have walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom. Excited for this new chapter of elevation."

Shortly after the breakup, a video of a physical altercation between the two in an elevator surfaced. Both rappers spoke about the situation after.

"This unfortunate incident happened a year ago, while we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement, there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship and we have both since moved on," she told The Shade Room at the time. "I kindly ask that everyone respect my privacy during this time."

Quavo also spoke about the incident shortly after the video surfaced.

"We had an unfortunate situation almost a year ago that we both learned and moved on from," the Migos rapper told TMZ at the time. "I haven’t physically abused Saweetie and have real gratitude for what we did share overall."

YG previously dated Keke Palmer and Kehlani. He also has two daughters with ex-girlfriend Catelyn Sparks.

The artists in hip-hop and R&B showed out in April with rappers such as Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat hopping on remixes as well as some R&B artists reemerging for the first time in a long time. Drake made his first solo record of the year this month as some artists are gearing up for their future albums slated for 2023.

Take a look at some of the best R&B and hip-hop songs of April 2023 ranked:

Ciara enlisted Lola Brooke and Lady London for the remix of "Da Girls." This was the first time all three artists linked up on a record. "Lola and Lady London are special," Ciara said about the two rising emcees per RatedRNB. "They each bring a unique star quality to everything they do. From the tone of their voices to the fire verses, they spoke life into this record for all da girls around the world."

Miguel is back with a new single titled "Give It To Me." The R&B artist has not released a full-length project since 2017's War & Leisure. His last project was his 2021 EP Art Dealer Chic Vol. 4. However, his 2010 single "Sure Thing," went viral on TikTok this year and currently sits at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Post Malone dropped his first song of 2023 with "Chemical." The New York native just finished touring last year in support of his 2022 LP Twelve Carat Toothache. "Chemical" is different from the artist's usual sound as it has upbeat pop-rock elements introduced. The new record will act as the lead single to the rapper's upcoming fifth studio album.

Nicki Minaj joined Kim Petras for "Alone" marking their first collaboration together. For Nicki, this follows her feature on Ice Spice's "Princess Diana." "Alone" is Petras' second single of 2023 following her record "brrr" which was released in January.

For The Weeknd's upcoming HBO drama The Idol, he and Future linked up to create "Double Fantasy." The Weeknd performed it for the first time during Metro Boomin's Coachella set. "Double Fantasy" marks The Weeknd and Future’s fifth collaboration after the two first came together as featured artists on producer Mike WiLL Made-It‘s 2015 single "Drinks on Us," which also featured Swae Lee.

Doja Cat hopped on SZA's SOS hit "Kill Bill" making it her first 2023 appearance. The two previously collaborated on the Grammy-winning "Kiss Me More." SZA earned her first No. 1 Billboard hit with the original "Kill Bill" this month.

Jay-Z remixed his 2009 hit "Empire State of Mind." The hip-hop icon performed the remixed version in Paris at the Louis Vuitton Foundation to mark the opening of the "Basquiat x Warhol. Painting Four Hands" exhibition. The new version has been officially released which features Gil Scott-Heron’s iconic I’m New Here song "New York Is Killing Me." The original "Empire State Of Mind" features Alicia Keys. The song was nominated for three awards but won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song at the 53rd Grammy Awards ceremony. The song was originally on Jay's The Blueprint 3.

Latto dropped "Put It On Da Floor" in April which fueled a beef between her and Coi Leray. The two later made amends but it ended working in the Atlanta native's favor as she scored her first No. 1 on the Hot Trending Songs chart.

Drake dropped his first solo song of 2023 titled "Search & Rescue." He infamously sampled Kim Kardashian on the record from her Hulu reality show The Kardashians. "Search & Rescue" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The People's Princess and the Queen linked up for a remix of the Bronx native's "Princess Diana." The "Princess Diana" remix debuted at No.1 on this week's Digital Song Sales chart making it Ice Spice's first and Nicki's 14th No.1 hit. The song debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
