Saweetie Previews A Scene From Her ‘Grown-ish’ Acting Debut

In a preview of the forthcoming mid-Season 3 debut, Yara Shahidi’s Zooey finds herself once again in over her head. …

Saweetie still has yet to offer fans a release date for her long-awaited debut album Pretty B*tch Music, but has kept fans fed with a steady stream of content including her Icy Life and Icy University YouTube shows. Later this month, though, she’ll make the jump from YouTube to television with her first official acting role on the popular Freeform sitcom Grown-ish. Spun off from the ABC sitcom Black-ish, Grown-ish follows the exploits of eldest Johnson daughter Zooey (portrayed by Yara Shahidi) as she heads off to college.

In Saweetie’s debut role, she’ll play Indigo, one of aspiring stylist Zooey’s celebrity clients alongside Joey Badass, who plays himself. In this scene previewing an interaction between Zooey and Indigo, the client and stylist clash over a music video look, which results in Saweetie giving Shahidi a mischievous look and Shahidi’s character making promises she can’t possibly deliver on — again (just watch the show, you’ll see).

Now in its third season, Grown-ish has provided a popular platform for musicians as well as family-friendly entertainment for young adults. The show’s cast includes R&B duo Chloe X Halle and rapper Diggy Simmons as regulars, Joey Badass in a recurring role playing himself, a soundtrack worthy of such tapped-in shows as Insecure and Power, and even debuted Leikeli47’s “Tic Boom” video.

Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Daiyon

Daiyon steps into the spotlight with “Vicous,” a spirited hip-hop collaboration featuring Mistah F.A.B that thrives on confidence, determination, and undeniable charisma. From its opening moments, the track establishes an inviting groove with melodious, head-nodding production that immediately captures attention. That smooth introduction seamlessly gives way to assertive rap verses, creating a natural progression that keeps the momentum building. The opening lines reinforce a mindset centered on hard work and ambition, making it clear that this record is driven by persistence rather than hesitation.

The song’s biggest strength lies in its memorable delivery and infectious hooks. Daiyon injects personality into every verse, blending playful moments with unwavering self-assurance. The reference to being all about “chips, Dorito’s” adds a light-hearted twist before the instantly recognizable chorus takes over. The repeated chant of “I’m looking viscous” becomes the heartbeat of the record, giving listeners a hook that lingers long after the track ends. Meanwhile, the lyrics acknowledging those who hate while others continue grooving reinforce the song’s uplifting confidence. The line encouraging the front row to sit back and watch the movie further paints the picture of an artist focused on the bigger vision instead of unnecessary criticism, while Mistah F.A.B’s appearance complements the record’s energetic spirit.

“Vicous” is a celebration of ambition wrapped inside an engaging hip-hop performance. Daiyon delivers a track that balances catchy melodies, confident lyricism, and vibrant rhythms without losing its sense of authenticity. The collaboration carries a lively chemistry that enhances the song’s appeal while allowing its central message of perseverance to shine through.
