Saweetieis protecting her peace.

In a newcover story interview withInStylereleased Wednesday, Feb. 5, the “My Type” rapper opened up about her newfound outlook on relationships — and why she’s dating “her career.”

“When I reflect on certain points in my career, I did allow myself to get slightly distracted,” Saweetie, 31, told the outlet.

Saweetie previously dated Migos rapper Quavo from 2018 to 2021. Then, in 2023, she was spottedpacking on the PDAwith rapper YG during a Mexican getaway in Cabo San Lucas.

“But I’m thankful for those lessons because they’ve made me wiser," Saweetie toldInStyle.

Now, Saweetie knows what she’s after: “Anything that may be trying to compete with my goals, with my ambitions, with my priorities… I no longer second-guess my career and if you can’t understand it, then respectfully, get out of my way.”

Reflecting on 2021 — the year she went through a public breakup with Quavo — Saweetie recalled wanting to “start over” after such a “traumatic time in my life.”

“I thought life would get better, but girl, life just kept life-ing… Surrendering to God and the universe has actually gotten me places," the “Best Friend” artist said. “I used to be a control freak. I used to try to micromanage everything. I think we resort to micromanaging everything because we feel helpless.”

The “Tap In” performer said they had “differences” — but it was still heartbreaking to endure.

“I thought we was gonna spend the rest of our lives together. With him, I knew it was the one. It was different," she said.

In November 2022, Saweetie released an EP titledThe Single Life.Speaking with PEOPLEone month prior, the rapper said the project was “my testimony as a single woman and what I’ve been through, the good and the bad.”

“I feel like a lot of my private love life has been publicized on the media and the internet, so it’s time for me to speak up,” Saweetie said.

“I think the best way to respond to my perception is through the music ‘cause honestly, if you don’t know me personally, I’m not gonna have a personal conversation online,” she added.
