'Rapper, athlete I need 'boffum'/ Don't you ask me just get 'boffum'/ How many on me? Like four of 'em/ I keep a secret no tea I don't know nothing/ Take a shot, peel off in a four-runner/ All my haters f—ked up, need a Gofundme,' she confidently raps.
Saweetie has laid relatively low on the music front in 2025, as 'Boffum' serves as her first solo release of the year.
However, things are about to change for Diamonté. While her much-delayed Pretty Bitch Music debut album remains elusive, Saweetie announced plans for her HELLA PRESSURE EP, which is slated to arrive on Aug. 1 via Warner Records and comes in the midst of her upcoming four-date Australia tour run.
'I feel like it will really encompass who I've grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell,' she told Billboard in February about her upcoming music.
Outside of her own music, Saweetie became a brand ambassador for Paris Hilton's NYX Professional Makeup line. The 32-year-old was also part of the NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show in February, which saw her perform alongside E-40, Too Short and En Vogue for DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic Live Bay Area celebration.

Tame Impala's Comeback Hit Falls Just Shy Of No. 1
Tame Impala is back with new music, beginning what looks to be the start of another era – one that fans of the act have been waiting patiently for. The Australian psychedelic pop-rock band returns to several of the United Kingdom's charts this week with 'End of Summer,' which becomes a fast win for the group. The song nearly opens at No. 1 on one of the most competitive lists of the week, but it misses the top spot by just a single space. 'End of Summer' Nearly Leads the Vinyl Chart 'End of Summer' launches at No. 2 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart. It's Tame Impala's first top 10 hit — and first placement at all — on the ranking. The track comes close to ruling, but is kept from the summit by English rock band Wunderhorse, whose 'The Rope' debuts at No. 1. Fourth Top 10 on the Physical Singles List On the Official Physical Singles chart, 'End of Summer' starts at No. 3. The entry marks Tame Impala's fourth top 10 on the tally, and serves as the group's milestone tenth hit. Beyond its lofty starting positions on those two lists, the cut also arrives at No. 87 on the Official Singles chart, No. 13 on the Official Singles Sales ranking, and No. 17 on the Official Dance Singles roster. Currents Continues Its Chart Run While 'End of Summer' makes a splash upon its arrival, Tame Impala's Currents is still present on a trio of U.K. album rankings. The Grammy-nominated act sits at No. 51 on the Official Albums Sales chart, No. 47 on the Official Physical Albums ranking, and No. 38 on the Official Vinyl Albums tally with the beloved project. In each instance, Currents falls from where it sat last week, despite all the excitement around 'End of Summer.' Kevin Parker's Return to His Own Music Kevin Parker, the man behind Tame Impala, took a step back from his own project in recent years. In 2023 and 2024, he was heavily involved in producing Radical Optimism, Dua Lipa's most recent album. Tame Impala's last full-length, The Slow Rush, arrived in 2020, and fans have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up ever since.

Orcas Pretend to Drown Each Other in Rare Training Session Caught on Camera
Orcas are called 'killer whales' (even though they're technically dolphins) for good reason. They're the ocean's top predators, hunting down everything from great white sharks to blue whales—the largest animal in the world. But orcas aren't born killers. It's a skill they learn from their elders and, as new evidence suggests, practice on each other. Parenthood, a new five-part BBC wildlife series narrated by David Attenborough, includes the first known footage of orcas learning how to drown their prey, as first reported by The Times. The training session is led by a matriarch and consists of one orca pretending to be the prey so the others can surround it and practice pushing its blowhole under the water. Video Shows Orcas Left Behind in Algae-Filled Tanks Months After French Park Shut Down 'Specialised underwater gimbals and tow cameras were used to bring cameras alongside hunting orcas underwater. This technology allowed the crew to travel at the same speed as the orca hunting pack and provided new insights into their behaviour,' a BBC spokeswoman told The Times. 'The practice-hunting behaviour appears to show members of an orca family submerging the head of one individual to prevent it from breathing—the technique used by killer whales to hunt large whales. This practice-hunting behaviour has never been filmed before.' The footage was captured near Western Australia's Bremer Bay, the same region where, in April, horrified tourists watched 60 orcas devour an endangered blue whale. After the practice session, the series shows the orcas using their skills while hunting a blue whale caught by surprise. Blue whales can hold their breath for somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes. Orcas training their young how to hunt is just one of many parenting moments featured in the wildlife series, which was filmed over three years in six continents and 23 countries. 'I think it's got all the feels—it's got great behaviour, it's got great emotion, it's got great humour, it's got relatable parental dilemmas. And it has a nod and a wink towards 'helicopter parenting' and 'snowplow 'parenting'—all those different terms that we bandy about as to what type of parent you are,' Jeff Wilson, the director, told the BBC. The series footage required 'an observational, non-invasive' approach, he added. 'We're very proud of what we've put on screen.' The show aired on BBC One on August 3 and is available on BBC iPlayer. We don't know yet when the U.S. release will take place, but I'm sure those of you in the States can't wait. After all, who wouldn't want to hear Attenborough's mesmerizing voice declare, 'Success for all parents has perhaps the greatest of consequences. It ensures the future of life on our planet.'
