Saweetie has left her Chinese-Filipino mother a little disappointed by spitting insults in Tagalog on her debut album.
The "Tap In" hitmaker shows off her linguistic skills on the upcoming "
Pretty B**ch Music", but the sassy lyrics she rhymes in her mum's native language on the project came as a shock to her conservative parent.
"I do talk some s**t in Tagalog," Saweetie told Billboard. "My mum was really against it. My Asian side, they're very traditional - they were immigrants. So it's like, their culture's a little bit more reserved. So, she was just like, 'Girl, I can't believe you just said that!' "
