When you have a Bachelor’s in Communications from one of the best programs in the country and was set to be a public relations professional before becoming an A list rapper, you know she can spin.
Wow, she is good at it.
I mean, people should hire her not only for rapping but spinning.
The way she twirled around multiple questions about the s.e.x.u.a.l predator music producer that gave her the big break was masterful.
She is also smart enough to know these questions will continue to haunt her because she decided to not step up for his victims.

Q&A: Saweetie on success and working with Dr. Luke (sort of)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Platinum-selling rapper Saweetie has incorporated choreography in her live performances, but ask her about working with controversial music producer Dr. Luke and she dances around the question like a principal ballerina.
Dr. Luke, who has been embattled in a lawsuit with artist Kesha since 2014, has produced Saweetie’s latest hits — the bops “Tap In” and “Best Friend.” The songs have reached the Top 10 and Top 20 on rap and pop charts, respectively, and the success helped Saweetie score a top female rap artist nomination at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, pitting her against Grammy-winners Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, Saweetie talks about her success, her debut album and, reluctantly, Dr. Luke.
AP: “Tap In” and “Best Friend” have been huge hits for you, and both were produced by Dr. Luke. What was it like working with him?
Saweetie: It was good. I did a boot camp and knocked out several songs.
AP: What was it like working with Dr. Luke?
Saweetie: Well, when I work with any producer, I’m always, like, asking (questions). I’m a college girl, so I always have in my mind if I need to ask as much questions as possible. I love suggestions, opinions, because there’s just so much room for improvement and growth. So I love collaborating with other creatives because it keeps my mind flowing.
AP: Since Dr. Luke produced your two biggest records, did you feel like you learned anything from him?
Saweetie: It was a while ago, so I’d have to think for a while and don’t want to take up too much of your time.
AP: Were you hesitant at all about working with him because of the controversy surrounding him?
Saweetie: That’s a really good question, but I feel like this is turning into an interview that is taking the focus and the light off of such an amazing night. So if we can, I’d like to focus on that. – Source
