Saweetie Used To Work At Strip Club: “I Got A Couple Of Tricks”
College girl-turned-rapper Saweetie is often praised for graduating from the University of Southern California where she studied communications and business, but not many know the odd jobs the Bay Area artist had before hitting it big. Saweetie recently caught up with The Shade Room where the host mentioned that the rapper is applauded for not having a stripper past, but Saweetie admitted that she did work at a strip club back in the day.

“I think people have a misconception of strippers, and the reason why I say that is ’cause I used to work at the strip club myself,” said Saweetie. She was asked if she used to “dip it low,” and Saweetie answered, “You know I got a couple of tricks.” The host wanted to know if the rapper could show off a few of her exotic dancer skills, but Saweetie was clear that “you gotta pay me for that.”
All jokes aside, Saweetie wants to shed the stigma surrounding people who work for gentlemen’s clubs. “All I’m saying is, I’ve seen that conversation and I don’t like when people uplift me by putting down another woman because while I was a server at the strip club, I realized that strippers are regular people,” Saweetie stated. “They’re college girls. They’re mothers. They’re real girls who just come into work, and for me, strippers are like acrobats. That’s a talent. They’re acrobats or they’re psychologists. They’re therapists.”
She added that she learned that “time is money” by working at the strip club. “If you’re talking to me but you’re not paying for nothing and you’re wasting my time. I could be getting that money somewhere else. That’s why I want women to really value thereselves ’cause you learn a lot working in those type of environments.”

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
