Saweetie, Quavo
Quavo recently spoke about how his girlfriend Saweetie brings "something very special to the game" by proving women "don't have to be a stripper" to make it.

If there's a chance for Quavo to brag about his girlfriend Saweetie, he's going to take it. The Migos rapper has been enjoying his unproblematic relationship with the "My Type" artist, and many fans are hoping that these two will one day tie the knot. Recently, Quavo caught up with Page Six while he was acting as a judge of Step Up to the Mic, a new competition series, and during their chat, he spoke about his rapper girlfriend paving the way for other women in hip hop.

“I think she’s bringing something very special to the game,” Quavo said of his USC-graduate girlfriend who happens to be Gabrielle Union's cousin. “She speaks for the pretty college girls that are taking the regular route. You don’t have to be a stripper, you don’t have to be a bartender, you don’t have to take the Instagram model route.” He added, “I feel like she’s speaking for those nice, teenage girls who listen to their parents and go to school.”

Quavo also spoke briefly about Saweetie's forthcoming album, Pretty B*tch Music. “She’s ready, she’s grown as an artist,” he added. “Y’all gonna see. I’m excited for her.” Do you agree with Quavo?
