LOS ANGELES, JUNE 3, 2019 – Critically acclaimed gold-certified rapper, entrepreneur, fashionista, songwriter and star Saweetie knows her type – and it’s none other than TNT’s Claws

Partnering with the network, Saweetie is unveiling today a Claws-themed remixed version of her hot single, “My Type,” from her chart-topping EP, ICY (ICY/Artistry Records/Warner Records), along with a new Claws music video. Highlighting show themes such as female empowerment and being a boss, the collaboration sets the world of Claws to a song and embodies the series’ strong female characters.

"Icy Grls are fierce and fearless, bossed up beauties, so partnering with TNT for a Claws-themed remix of ‘My Type’ was a natural fit, and so much fun!” said Saweetie.
