Wait, but it's like a French fry. That's where it comes from. Period. Wait, would she want to hear something nasty? Yeah.

I think that the fact that she knows that some of the rumors aren't true and she's just like, why don't you say anything? Like, this isn't who you are. And I'm just like, it's just only going to make the story bigger. So I choose not to address certain things because I don't want to add fuel to the fire. And the best way to get rid of something is to ignore it.

I have two answers for this. Okay. So the first half, I would say in the earlier on in my career, I would say I would just disassociate myself from Saweetie. Because there's Diamante and there's Saweetie. I'm like, okay, if y'all knew Diamante to know me and to love me, y'all wouldn't be doing all this shitty stuff to me. So at first it was disassociation.

Because it took so long to get here.
Because it took so long to get here.
how much I put into this shit, you know?
how much I put into this shit, you know?
Yeah, I'm very peculiar. So I have to be very involved with everything. Otherwise, I'll get the final product and I'll be like, we gotta change this, this, and that, and then it takes away more time. So I'd rather just be hands-on from the jump.

No. Because then they also win. Yeah. Also, let's talk about that, too. It's an energy exchange. And it's just like, I'd rather alchemize the energy, like take it and then use this energy for something else. Like, I don't want to give that back to you.
No. Because then they also win. Yeah. Also, let's talk about that, too. It's an energy exchange. And it's just like, I'd rather alchemize the energy, like take it and then use this energy for something else. Like, I don't want to give that back to you.
But I feel like you've kind of gotten to a place where clearly you're like... Interestingly, it's weird because sometimes it's like they want a response out of you. They don't even appreciate the growth. And it like annoys them.
But I feel like you've kind of gotten to a place where clearly you're like... Interestingly, it's weird because sometimes it's like they want a response out of you. They don't even appreciate the growth. And it like annoys them.
Absolutely. And it took me a while to get here. Yeah. I wasn't always this like poised when it came to my reaction. So trust me, like as long as you work on it, like you'll see yourself evolve. Yeah.
Absolutely. And it took me a while to get here. Yeah. I wasn't always this like poised when it came to my reaction. So trust me, like as long as you work on it, like you'll see yourself evolve. Yeah.

Yes. And stay. How did that come to be? So, you know, when you get an apartment, you have to do first and last. First month and last month's rent. Yes.
Yes. And stay. How did that come to be? So, you know, when you get an apartment, you have to do first and last. First month and last month's rent. Yes.
So I was like, OK, how do I. How do I find a loophole? And the loophole was Craigslist because when you're running or subletting a room from somebody, you're only just paying for your portion of the rent and it's their name on the lease. So thankfully, I've had some cool roommates My two favorite, oh my gosh, bless this old lady's heart.

So thankfully, I've had some cool roommates My two favorite, oh my gosh, bless this old lady's heart.
There was an older lady in Studio City, and she had a guest house. And I stayed in her guest house. And then there was another woman who I stayed with in Sherman Oaks. I think her roommate had to go back and renew his visa. So I had subletted his room. And I was just...
There was an older lady in Studio City, and she had a guest house. And I stayed in her guest house. And then there was another woman who I stayed with in Sherman Oaks. I think her roommate had to go back and renew his visa. So I had subletted his room. And I was just...
like being blessed with all these good roommates that were clean nice respectful i was supposed to say yeah you can have some like horror stories i feel like for roommates well honestly you have to trust your gut like i'd go see some places and i'd be i wouldn't like mess with the energy and i'd like i gotta go you like knew immediately i knew immediately and also a red flag um for any um people who do do it anybody who is super eager and pressing you to rent a room i wouldn't trust that oh
yeah that is good advice yeah i don't know why but when you're when you're thirsty and eager to like have a stranger come in a room like i don't trust that personality trait yeah you're like why are you desperate yeah why are you desperate like i i want i want to work for a little bit yeah i don't know that something just be off a little bit
I just feel like I'm at a really special time in my career. And I just have all these ideas. And I want to channel my energy in a way where I feel like I can make the steps to where I see myself going. And... You know, I'm just really happy right now. I'm happy where my life is heading. So I'm dating my career.
And then also, let me say this. I feel like some people who I've dated in the past, we would have been better off as creative partners. There was this TikTok. You know, sometimes TikTok be having the information, girl. There is this woman and I wish I knew her handle because I'm so grateful for this wisdom she had provided.
But she was basically saying that sexual energy and creative energy comes from the same place. And when you confuse the energy, you can sometimes, you know, make, I wouldn't say the wrong decision, but you can lean in more into the sexual energy. But then that ruins the creative energy because you've already depleted the energy. That's such a good point.
But what inspired these is I shot two Christmas music videos, and I needed to get into the holiday season. So these actually have snowflakes on them and a reindeer. Are you a big Christmas person? Yes. I'm Filipino. Christmas is such a big deal in our culture.
I think happy vibes. Really? Yeah, because, like, I don't really, like, no matter what happens, I, like, girl, I just be happy. I'm naturally just a happy person. So I'm like, damn, you did some shady shit. But I'm like, my energy is so disconnected from you that I can not associate myself with what happened between us and just look at you as a regular human being.
But also something we have to unpack, too, is a lot of men have unaddressed trauma that they don't face and they project it on their partners. So sometimes I'd be thinking about stuff and I'd be like, what happened to you in your childhood? Yeah.
no actually no right so then it makes me look at what they did to me because I know that they really love me yeah like I know that so I'm just like you got some things to unpack you should probably handle that yeah because if you were to handle that then we probably would have worked out it's such a mature way to look at things like essentially also what you're saying is like it has nothing to do with you and that's I think hard for people sometimes to accept like
And I knew that I was a good girlfriend. So it's like, I'm like, something wrong with you.
Somebody who has high emotional intelligence.
with it emotionally that they can hang with me. Honestly, just experience. We have to experience a unique situation and that tells anybody how somebody is.
Girl, what's my type? you said you brought it up you brought it up it's your show rappers okay let's talk about it okay okay so for example if you're out of high school right you tend to date I mean high school or whatever let's just call it whatever the proximity is yes You're going to date what you're around. Yes.
And I think that's why I found myself in those situations because these are the only people that I'm around. However, you know, I'd like to go to a new environment. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Do you think you would venture out? Well, me and my career is doing just fine right now. So, you know.
Okay, what's the difference? So... Let's break it down for Icy Gang and Daddy. Yeah, yeah.
Well, at least be some Wagyu beef.
But just to confirm, I am the Wagyu.
I've never been attracted to athletes.
But then again... Because I come from a family full of athletes, so it just always feels like you're my cousin. I don't want to fuck my cousin. Yeah, because I've never talked to an athlete. Really? Never.
No, girl, I literally, I mean, you know this. I shot into like four in the morning last night. And now you're here. And now I'm here.
Yeah. There we go. But after high school, no. Done. I remember it was my senior year and I had a crush on this boy. And I was like, dang. I only got one more year to see him on campus. The clock is running out. The clock is running out. You know, he was like, um, I was big in volleyball.
I was doing my thing and he was playing football and we had a, um, like an athlete room where like the football players would come review their tapes. And then we played during the same season. So, you know, the volleyball girls would come in there and it felt like one big family, but I'm How do I like get him? Cause he was shy.
Girl. So it's rush week. So I go and I was like, I have a plan. So me and my plan get together and it's lunch and we're all sitting in the room. And finally, I'm like, I tap him. I'm like, oh, somebody wants to go speak to you outside. He was like, who? I was like, you know, like probably one of the organizations. It is Rush Week.
And he was like, oh, okay, because, you know, sometimes they'll recruit. And if you weren't an athlete, you couldn't come into the room. It was like taboo, like heavily frowned upon. So we walk outside and we start walking. And he was like, who was it? And I was like, me. What did he say? He started laughing. It's kind of like really, really forward and I love it.
um i just do inside my living room okay yes yeah you're like making it cozy yeah making it cozy what is your favorite christmas tradition christmas eve with my family what do you do like we open up presents that night not on christmas day
He started laughing and he goes like, why? And I'm just like, because I wanted to talk to you. Did you end up going on a date? Hooking up? We like... Falling in love? Yeah. We started to go to each other's games. I mean, everybody was already going to the football games because they were winning that year.
And then they were already coming to the volleyball games because you know how the football players got to practice. Yeah. But we like intentionally started going to each other's games to like support each other. And then we would go to like In-N-Out afterwards because like that was like the high school club.
Open until 1 a.m. in the morning. on the weekends um but yeah i would go over to his house and like his family would cook for me i would do my homework over there so it worked out um oh well not worked out but i mean like oh what happened did he cheat on you no i got bored So I had to break up with him.
And I was like, I think we'd be better off as friends. Shout out wherever you are today. We love you. But I was honest. You were? Yeah. I'm very straightforward. If I feel like something's not working out, I'll tell you. I feel like we're not working out.
Craziest thing. Go. This actually has happened to me twice. I don't know where men get their information, but I've had, like, I've broken up with people and they found me. What? What does that mean? Wait. Like, they'll show up to my hotel and be like, room service. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's happened to me twice. Room service?
but like my favorite childhood memories would be like my mom's mom cooking um filipino food hella food doing karaoke and then at 12 o'clock we'd all open up our presents i always used to be like please let us open our presents on christmas eve and my mom would be like one and then i was always like the freak that was like trying to like open them and then re-wrap them at night i'm
I feel like those were like mini breakups. Okay. Like it was like we were going through something. I might have blocked them. Classic. It probably was like a couple days or a couple weeks. Yeah. And I'm just like, it's like a soft breakup, you know? Not a hard breakup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you a big blocker? I'm a big blocker.
Because I'm assuming then you unblock. I've unblocked before, but there's people who are still on my unblock list. It's been years. Oh, wow.
It really just depends. OK. You know, like if it's a custom one of one, I'm keeping it. Custom one of one. Yeah.
I don't have words. I'm a very talkative person. I don't have words. Yeah, it was like some player shit. It was my birthday. I was single and... You know, we were like casually talking and he was like, where's your address? Isn't your birthday coming up? And I was like, yeah, like, oh, that's nice. He's going to send me flowers. What's funny is, so my birthday passes, it's a week.
My maids have cleaned, you know, my condo and he hits me up and he's like, so did you like your birthday present? And I'm like, I never got it. And he goes, it should have came in this kind of box. So then I text my maids. And they're like, oh yeah, we put the box in the guest room because we didn't know what it was. So I opened up the box.
Oh, for a while. What? Yeah, I was working a lot.
I wouldn't even say it was a relationship. Interesting. No, it was just like my player partner.
No, I think, I think that might've been his love language, you know? Interesting. Like I didn't see it as like, Oh, he's a trick or he's like, I really appreciated his gifts. They were very like thought out.
Oh, my goodness gracious. I just spilled my water on you, y'all. I need a napkin. Erin, can you please give me a reaction? Holy shit. Jesus. Jesus Christ. Okay. Okay. So I remember I was talking to this guy, right? Okay. And it was New Year's. And I was like, oh my gosh, I'm just so happy to see this person. And we go out for New Year's, it's a great night. And we go back to the hotel.
I'm like, oh my gosh, this is the most perfect New Year's ever. We're out of town. It's just like the vibes were vibing. You could feel the energy in the streets. Love was in the air. It's the new year, new me. It's like all these great things happening. And I'm just like... If I felt like I was in a movie. So we get back to the hotel and I remember I had got a call from like a childhood friend.
And when I had picked up the phone, I put it on speaker because I had nothing to hide. And I'm like, oh, happy New Year's. He was like, happy New Year's. I love you. Like, you've been killing this shit. Like, keep going. So I'm like, you too. Like, love you too. Happy New Year's. I hang up. He's so like drunk that he...
misinterprets the call and was like, wow, okay, I know that y'all be doing this, this, and that, projecting. He couldn't believe that I had a plutonic relationship with this person. And this person's my childhood friend. Nothing is going on. Okay. So he starts cussing me out. He was like, I would never do this to you. He was like, man, you can go through my phone. My code is da-da-da-da-da-da.
And I go, oh, it's da-da-da-da-da-da? Da-da-da-da-da-da? No. I put the code in my phone. And I'm thinking, he's probably just, like, drunk, you know? Right. Like, it's not the real code. So finally, he goes to sleep. So it's time to investigate. Investigate. Investigate. Investigate. So I'm like, okay. So I saved the code. I said, and it goes. You know, it's like, ah. You're like, no.
I'm like, wow, that easy? Girl, this man has been playing me the whole time. No. But I knew it was like a sickness because it was like all types of women. Really? Yeah. Did you go for the eye messages first or the pictures? I went to the assistant group chat. I went to the assistant messages because, you know, the assistant set up everything for like the man.
oh then I was typing in keywords like genius genius so I was pulling up all the receipts yeah girl and I remember I had got so sick but then so numb that I didn't care because it wasn't like it wasn't like one person you know you know like it's not you're not obsessing over one person it's like okay no you have a sickness right like this is you can't stop yourself you can't stop yourself
Okay, so do you like sushi? Of course. Okay, so like for a tuna roll. Okay. I'll get hot Cheetos and I'll smush them up and then I'll drizzle them over the tuna roll. That's fucking brilliant. It's actually really good. But are you bringing the Cheetos into the... No, girl. Only if I like do some Postmates. Oh, yeah. See ya.
Girl, girl, girl. You know what time was had.
I'm just like, I was like the audacity. And then what made me, like, I always had to add humor to, like, my pain. So I'm just kind of like, how dare this boy get mad over a simple conversation, yet here you are doing A, B, C, D, E, F, G, X, Y, Z, you know?
But it made me realize that when someone does that to you, it's because that's what they would do. So they're projecting. They're projecting from their experience. Yes.
It's okay if you didn't. No, but let's just say... yeah girl we were at a town and um yeah girl i have never had someone answer a question like that and yet it says so many words
Honestly, I was younger. So, like, I... Um...
for me it was like oh this is definitely a deal breaker but you know when like you're in love with somebody it's just kind of like okay well i can't just delete you out of my life like this yeah um but right now like in my adult years like it's definitely a deal breaker for me and in that moment i think i would like tell that person like you probably have to figure out why you're doing this yeah you know that makes sense
I think I keep it ambiguous. Yeah. And I feel like for my album, I am going into deeper subjects and I'm really excited about that. I feel like I'm in my diamond era. Like I came in as an icy girl, but through all this pressure that I placed on myself and all the pressure that I've experienced with the industry, I feel like it's pressurized me into this diamond that's ready to shine.
Definitely next year.
I feel like I finally know myself. I felt like I was constantly in this weird transition phase, especially with recording. Like, what am I even talking about? But with who I am now, I know what my public messaging is.
Well, you know, I love Icy Season because I'm an icy girl. And it's just like, I got to give something to the icy gang this winter. So I wanted to create like two songs that really spoke to the two different sides of Christmas. I got Big Santa where I'm like, Big Daddy, what you getting me? And then my other Christmas song is a little bit more, you know, softer. It's like catered to you vibes.
Like, not only like, what can you give me, but what can I give you? Oh, my God.
Mm hmm. Like a Tomb Raider or like a like a Columbiana. Oh, something with just action, because I really love like doing stunts and I'm a sporty girl. Right. But I love a good heroine. That is the last thing I expected.
god do you hear me yeah yeah like here we go anybody watching this in hollywood hello wow and i audition too i'm not one of those people who feel like well i feel like i can just show up and get the role like i'll be sending in audition tapes yeah i guess like last question is like
I'm not sure what the collective thinks because everybody has their own opinion. But one thing that I do get a lot is that when people meet me, they say that they didn't expect this. I guess it's a common response that I get. But it's for the better because they'd be like, wow, like...
When is the first time you tried that? Honestly, I grew up doing that. Like that was so second nature to me. So when I had posted it the first time online, I thought nothing of it. And then I was trending like an hour later. And I'm like, why is this causing such a frenzy? Right.
No, thank you. And today, like, I realized why you're number one. Stop. Yes, this was such a comfortable, safe, and fun experience. Girl, you almost had me crying in the beginning. You almost had me crying. I was heaving. I was like...
I know that's my pretty titty committee.
Wait, but it's like a French fry. That's where it comes from. Period. Wait, would she want to hear something nasty? Yeah. So when I was a little girl in the middle of the night, I used to sneak into the fridge and eat butter by itself. And one day I got caught by my mom, like red-handed, like with a whole bunch of butter. Girl, she scared the crap out of me.
She was like, if you continue to eat that butter by itself, you're going to turn into Chucky. I promise you, I never touch butter again.
Some people call me Diamante. What do your best friends call you? It depends. Tell me. It depends from what era they met me at. Okay. So my childhood best friends... They'll call me Dee Dee. Dee Dee. My middle school friends will call me Saweetie because that was my MySpace name. And that's where I had got Saweetie from. Like my MySpace was so popping.
I'd be at like high school parties where I'd be at, you know, walking in school and they'd be like, are you Saweetie from MySpace? Yes. What the fuck were you doing on MySpace? Girl, I was coding the fuck out of my page. I was, you know, in the middle of the night, sweaty, finding all the codes. Girl, I was a nerd. So my MySpace was like very aesthetically pleasing.
I was a coder from day one. Not even knowing that I was coding, girl. I should have paid for that.
You look amazing.
I mean, I guess.
My grandma. Yeah. How did she give you that name? She would just call me her Sweetie. Mm hmm. That's so fucking cute. Yeah. And then I was signing up for MySpace. And at the time, I didn't really like like my name, how I love my name now, only because people wouldn't pronounce it right. So I was like, I don't want to like put it up and then people just don't know how to pronounce my name.
So I was like, I need some fly shit. But then I don't want it to be like basic. So I put the A between the S and the W and the rest was history.
But you want to know what was even crazier is I had started like a business, a hat and a t-shirt business. And my grandma was like, I know you're going to be a big business woman one day. I know that you're going to need your name. So she bought Saweetie. She bought me the website Saweetie. Like when I was like, I think I think I was like,
18 years old 17 or 18 years old she was like I know you're gonna like do something so let me just get this for you because as a business woman you're gonna need to trademark it that like gives me chills just because like it seems like you obviously had like a pretty great relationship with your grandmother yes she's everything to me is she still with us yes
girl she's she's 70 going on 21. what does she think of your whole career now she has mixed emotions okay she loves it but when she hears like the negative press it stresses her out but she's a preacher so she goes to like war for me in prayer she's like my prayer warrior so she's constantly praying for me what do you think stresses her out the most and like what could be negative about you
Well, I always get bling on my feet. I've been wearing white toenail polish since, I don't know, my twenties. I need like a white polish nail deal. Any other color, my feet look weird.
I think that the fact that she knows that some of the rumors aren't true and she's just like, why don't you say anything? Like, this isn't who you are. And I'm just like, it's just only going to make the story bigger. So I choose not to address certain things because I don't want to add fuel to the fire. And the best way to get rid of something is to ignore it.
So she's just like, yeah, but, you know, I know my baby and that's not my baby right there. So, yeah, she just be going through it sometimes.
I have two answers for this. Okay. So the first half, I would say in the earlier on in my career, I would say I would just disassociate myself from Saweetie. Because there's Diamante and there's Saweetie. I'm like, okay, if y'all knew Diamante to know me and to love me, y'all wouldn't be doing all this shitty stuff to me. So at first it was disassociation.
Because it took so long to get here.
how much I put into this shit, you know?
Yeah, I'm very peculiar. So I have to be very involved with everything. Otherwise, I'll get the final product and I'll be like, we gotta change this, this, and that, and then it takes away more time. So I'd rather just be hands-on from the jump.
Never. I never want to go off on somebody because the thoughts that I think are outrageous.
sweetie yes no my thoughts and i just did my like my vedic um astrology chart okay and then that um in that system my moon is a scorpio so it just lets you know like where my mind can go so i'm like don't fuck with me for real so you're always this calm i try to be because i just know i know myself i can like
No. Because then they also win. Yeah. Also, let's talk about that, too. It's an energy exchange. And it's just like, I'd rather alchemize the energy, like take it and then use this energy for something else. Like, I don't want to give that back to you.
But I feel like you've kind of gotten to a place where clearly you're like... Interestingly, it's weird because sometimes it's like they want a response out of you. They don't even appreciate the growth. And it like annoys them.
Absolutely. And it took me a while to get here. Yeah. I wasn't always this like poised when it came to my reaction. So trust me, like as long as you work on it, like you'll see yourself evolve. Yeah.
custom art paint and then jewels it takes time it's like drawing a mural on your fingers what the fuck are you doing for 10 hours girl i try to have meetings i try to like multitask during my nail appointments just so i can like get things done
Yes. And stay. How did that come to be? So, you know, when you get an apartment, you have to do first and last. First month and last month's rent. Yes.
So I was like, OK, how do I. How do I find a loophole? And the loophole was Craigslist because when you're running or subletting a room from somebody, you're only just paying for your portion of the rent and it's their name on the lease. So thankfully, I've had some cool roommates My two favorite, oh my gosh, bless this old lady's heart.
There was an older lady in Studio City, and she had a guest house. And I stayed in her guest house. And then there was another woman who I stayed with in Sherman Oaks. I think her roommate had to go back and renew his visa. So I had subletted his room. And I was just...
