Saweetie Serves Up Pickleball Excitement: Rapper Saweetie is teaming up with Corona Premier to promote pickleball during National Pickleball Month. She’s helping launch the Dink ‘n’ Drink campaign with an event in New York City on April 23, where fans can join her for a fun game and unique drinks featuring pickle juice.
“My partnership with Corona is actually an exciting one for me. I believe I come from a Corona family — I remember seeing my dad and his friends drinking it at festivities and family parties. So I’ve always been around the [brand,] and it’s nice to finally have a partnership with something I grew up with.” – (Saweetie)
Mixing Sports With Fun
Saweetie, 31, has recently embraced pickleball and wants to bring her energy to the court. The fast-growing paddle sport combines parts of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. While it’s often a casual game, Saweetie doesn’t hold back when it comes to competition.
“I have a deep resume when it comes to athleticism. It’s always been a game I love to play in my spare time because it’s not really about the score — it’s about having a good time with your friends.” – (Saweetie)
“I know you’re supposed to be having fun, but naturally, I’m very competitive. So, I like to not only have a good time, but also bust out a couple of moves.” – (Saweetie)
A Refreshing Twist
Saweetie’s event in New York is part of the Dink ‘n’ Drink campaign with Corona Premier. The celebration adds a new flavor to game day with drinks that feature pickle juice and ginger beer.
“The drink tastes really good. It’s refreshing, and has a refreshing taste [with] pickle juice and ginger beer. You know I’m a foodie. I think sports and the launch of this new light beer would be a time. So, I definitely think people should pull up.” – (Saweetie)
What It Means for Pickleball
Saweetie’s involvement introduces the sport to a new audience and adds star appeal to the sport. With her fan base and athletic background, her support could encourage more young people to try the game. As events like Dink ‘n’ Drink grow, pickleball’s popularity continues to rise.
