Saweetie has found herself on the receiving end of backlash for a business transaction with Pornhub she made for her own personal gain.
Celebs flock to Pornhub Awards 2020
And that’s just the thing about celebrity. Nothing is exempt from scrutiny and the rapstress’ new partnership with Pornhub was the latest move to rub her fans the wrong way.
The Pornhub Awards 2020 aired in the wee hours of Wednesday morning and while they were too explicit to broadcast on television, they sure did break out the fireworks.
Leah McSweeney, a star in the Real Housewives of New York City show, was also an ambassador of the censored ceremony.
“I am beyond excited to be a part of the iconic Pornhub Awards. When censorship is at an all-time high, I celebrate, and I hope everyone celebrates, freedom of speech and the right to enjoy sensuality and sexuality,” she said.
Saweetie partnership with Pornhub gets backlash
So, what was Saweetie’s involvement in the sex platform? Some have guessed that she and the City Girls were tipped for a performance at the awards but a search yielded no record of such.
Alas, the news of a Saweetheart partnering with a porn platform that has recently been linked to child abuse allegations didn’t sit well with many of her fans.
Here are some of the reactions we sourced online:
It will be a lot of celebrities and influencers collaborating with PornHub NOT just Saweetie and City Girls. They are losing money from Visa, Discover and MasterCard withdrawing their contracts due to the child abuse “allegations” so they about to exhaust all possible options.

Saweetie I’m hugely disappointed in your actions and ignorance by partnering with PornHub. It baffles me how you have gone public with a brand that has been sued and is being investigated for child rape and trafficking.
