Saweetie better pay her!" one person urged, while another penned, "Saweetie lowkey looked stressed af n that performance. I can only imagine how terrible it must of felt to lose your breath and forget your lyrics like that in front of all them folks."
The backlash did not stop there. More came forward with one person writing, "saweetie it went from worse to worser."
