During
the Bay Area rapper's iHeartRadio Jingle Ball set at New York City's
Madison Square Garden on Dec. 10, she appeared to be relatively winded
while performing her hit records such as "Icy" and her new track
"Icy Chain."Snippets of the performance emerged online on Dec. 11 and
began circulating to the point of going viral this week with numerous people
calling out Saweetie's stage presence and her lack of
endurance.
One person
typed, "Saweetie it went from worse to worser." Another
person addressed the double-standard that exists in the music industry,
comparing Saweetie's eating habits and the impact it may have on her
performances to Lizzo,
who receives hateful comments about how she sometimes
carries herself as a full-figured woman and artist but is able to give an
energetic and quality performance.
"Not so hot take: Saweetie can’t perform without
being out of breath because of the crap she eats yet people assume she’s
healthy. Those same people strain their voices yelling about Lizzo’s size yet
she can run and perform circles around Miss 6 Piece Nugget Meal," the
Twitter user typed. Saweetie recently had a deal
with McDonalds, but prior to this, she would share her fast-food and
junk food recipes and concoctions via social media. The 2021 Jingle Ball
tour has made stops in several cities such as the Dallas/Fort Worth, Tex. area,
Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Minn./St. Paul, Minn., Philadelphia and New York
City. The tour features Lil Nas X, Doja
Cat—who recently announced she won't appear at upcoming show dates due to
contracting COVID-19 again—and more.
The tour will hit Washington, D.C. and Atlanta next,
before wrapping up in Miami.
