In her acceptance speech, the 'My Type' hitmaker said: "Thank you to my team who have been working non-stop 24 hours, seven days a week. We work non-stop, really. And it's been paying off. "I am so grateful to my fans, who have been supporting me. Y'all been riding with me since I've been rapping in my car." The rapper also thanked her family and friends for the support she's received from them.
Saweetie said: "Thank you for the unconditional support while I chase my dreams. Trust me y'all, this is only the beginning. "Hungary, I love you. Thank you for the support."
