Based on the viral short film director Morgan Cooper released in 2019, Bel-Air is a contemporary drama focused on the complicated journey of the series lead, Jabari Banks, from the rough streets of West Philadelphia into the lap of luxury in the exclusive gated community of Bel-Air across the country in California.

With executive production coming from Will Smith himself and original show heavy hitters such as Quincy Jones and Benny Medina, the goal for the series is to “dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases that were impossible to fully explore in a 30-minute sitcom format.” Check out the trailer for season 2 of Bel-Air below:

While Saweetie will be playing herself on Bel-Air, she comes to the show with previous acting experience. She made her acting debut on ABC’s Grown-ish in 2021, playing a bossy rapper named Indigo.

Following the release of her latest project, The Single Life, the 29-year-old stopped by The Bootleg Kev Podcast and addressed double standards, her latest project, McDonald’s and all the “Queen” titles she’s been receiving. Unlike other artists who would gladly take the title, Saweetie would rather not accept it and continue working on her craft. She doesn’t like when people self-proclaim or adopt a title on their own.

“I don’t want to self-proclaim the ‘Queen statement,’ but when I’m in certain cities or certain areas, they’ll just call me this and call me that,” Saweetie said. “I’ve been called the ‘Queen of California’ and many queen things, but I don’t think it’s something I’m trying to title, that’s why I had another voice say it on my [‘Single Life’] project. I don’t like it when people self-proclaim.”
