Saweetie may be best known for his signature club bangers and bops, but now the multihyphenate is ready to tackle a new craft: gaming! After small starring roles on shows like "Grown-ish" and, most recently, Peacock's "Bel-Air," the "Tap In" rapper is testing her acting skills again in a new Candy Crush Saga short. , which she says is "inspired by my favorite female spy movie."

"Honestly, I've been playing with them for years, so when they reached out, it was a no-brainer," Saweetie told POPSUGAR of his association with the virtual puzzle game. The rap star's imaginative film - which was released in honor of the Candy Crush All Stars tournament, which kicked off March 23 - finds his spy persona and fellow Icy attempting to rob a blue jewelry box, made by Icebox, before their plan is finally crushed.

Although Saweetie's film is only a 44-second skit, she says she's "just happy" to shoot something for what she calls a "great organic collaboration."

Now that she's caught the acting bug, Saweetie reveals she has her eye on other on-screen projects, noting that she "could definitely see me move into a role where I don't play myself", as she did in "Bel-Air" season 2. "It was fun. They were very welcoming. The energy on set was just fun", says t she about her work with television actors. "I was happy to be there, but I was like, 'Do you want me to say anything else?'"
