Saweetie is used to capturing the internet's attention. Whether it's almost convincing us all to shave our hair off and dye it pink, or using her mega red stiletto manicure as inspo for our next salon appointment, the 28-year-old rapper knows a thing or two about trend-setting beauty looks.

Saweetie is used to capturing the internet's attention. Whether it's almost convincing us all to shave our hair off and dye it pink, or using her mega red stiletto manicure as inspo for our next salon appointment, the 28-year-old rapper knows a thing or two about trend-setting beauty looks.

But this time, it's not her hair or mani that's caught Instagram's attention, but her mama. Attending the 2022 Billboard Women in Music event last night (Thursday 3rd March), Saweetie performed her hit track ‘Closer’ and accepted the ‘2022 Game Changer Award’, presented to her by her mother, Trinidad Valentin. She gave an emotional speech about her daughter's growth as an artist, and how immensely proud she is of her.

Of her daughter's love of poetry growing up, Trinidad said: “Her poetry had turned into rhyming, and rhyming into rapping.”

Fans on Instagram and Twitter were quick to express their total disbelief at how young Trinidad looks. 'Yall look like sisters. Not mom and daughter❤️🙌🔥😍😍', wrote one fan, while another asked: 'That’s not your sister?' and one even commented: 'Her mom looks younger then her lol saweetie looks like her big sister'.

‘It’s the Filipina mom genes 🙌🙌🙌 ❤️❤️❤️’ another said, which Saweetie herself echoed on Twitter, writing: ‘AND THATS WORD TO MY MAMA SHE DA FILIPINO QUEEEEEN’.

People were also quick to point out the resemblance between Saweetie's mum and one former Pussycat Doll. ‘I thought it Nicole Scherzinger,’ said one fan. ‘omg she resembles the pussycat dolls member so much’, said another.

Saweetie, real name Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper, was born on 2nd July 1993 in Santa Clara, California. Mum Trinidad was born in 1976, meaning she's around 46 years of age (her exact birthday hasn't been disclosed), and she's of Filipina and Chinese heritage. Saweetie's dad, Johnny Harper, is an African-American footballer.
