Both NLE Choppa, and Latto aren’t the only musicians that have appeared on Grown-ish in recent years. In 2021, Saweetie made her acting debut on the fan-favorite show.
Saweetie made a cameo in the role of a bossy rapper named Indigo, who wasn’t happy with the wardrobe picked out for her and she demanded Yara Shahidi’s character (Zoey Johnson), who dropped out of college to be Joey Bada$$’ stylist to fix the situation.
“I think Indigo is just a little bit of a bitch,” Saweetie told Entertainment Weekly at the time. “She means well, but just sometimes she says the wrong things.”
She continued, “I wanted to make sure I delivered. I feel like with roles, whether if it’s an episode or in a music video, you always have to commit to the emotion of what you’re trying to portray. I thought it was cool, a little cheating but that’s okay: I played an artist and I’m an artist myself. But the girl’s attitude and personality is completely night and day with mine so I did have to learn about her. She’s a diva, she’s bossy.”

“I could definitely see myself having a show or just doing more guest-star roles, or even doing a movie. I think it’s art. It’s fun to step outside my comfort zone and [it] allows me to just explore my creative side.”
