Saweetie's been making a name for herself off the back of a string of huge singles including My Type and Tap In, and now she's turning her talents to acting.

She'll be appearing in the mid-season premiere of grown-ish, playing fellow rapper Joey Bada$$'s protege, Indigo. She'll be causing havoc for the main character, Zoey Johnson (played by Yara Shahidi), who's grown accustomed to dealing with difficult artists.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the role, she says she's looking forward to it. Saweetie says, "I think Indigo is just a little bit of a bitch. She means well, but just sometimes she says the wrong things.

"My favorite thing about [playing] Indigo was when both her and Yara were on the same page and having a good time. You can just see the love and excitement that Indigo has for [Zoey]. I think the dynamic is like a cool, bossy, sometimes mean big sister to Yara. She loves her, but she just has a hard time showing you."

This isn't a one-time thing for Saweetie, either - with her goal to get more acting roles in the future. "I could definitely see myself having a show like that or just doing more guest-star roles, or even doing a movie. I think it’s art. It’s fun to step outside my comfort zone and [it] allows me to just explore my creative side."
