The BET Awards are still trending on social media, and one red carpet interaction between Saweetie and Jack Harlow during a red carpet interview with The Shade Room is still a hot subject. As Saweetie stepped up to give us a red carpet interview, she was abruptly halted by Jack Harlow, who suddenly grabbed her hand and appeared to be attempting to shoot his shot…or so it appeared. The rumors about Saweetie and Jack Harlow intensified during a red carpet interview when they formally stepped into The Shade Room while on the red carpet at the 2021 BET Awards, following the viral photo that sparked speculation that the two could be the new “It” couple on the block.
Saweetie was caught off guard when Jack Harlow grabbed her hand and formally introduced himself in a playful manner as she stepped up to give us a quick interview. “Hi, Saweetie,” Jack said, and they exchanged a few words. Saweetie then replied tentatively, “I know [who you are],” she remarked. “You don’t enjoy being taken off guard?” Jack continued. Saweetie, on the other hand, retorted, “Why you shaking?” When we found Jack alone without Saweetie, he told us he wasn’t going to shoot his shot and instead would merely introduce himself to her on a platonic basis. He told us, “That’s a friend vibe.” Well Saweetie and Jack Harlow may not be hip hop’s new couple—but that definitely won’t stop social media from talking about them.
