as your first acting project?
Saweetie: Well, to be honest with you, it was the first thing that was brought to my team. It was a great first offer. I was honored and I took it immediately. I love Yara and the show was just already so good. So I hired an acting coach immediately and got to rehearsing.

When you get too into your head or when you re not able to rehearse lines. For me, I m very hard on myself, so the only thing that s in my way is me, but my acting coach was super helpful, super informative.
