<p>Roommates, Saweetie&#8217;s career has been on that &#8220;all gas, no brakes&#8221; vibe. From interviews to appearances to new music, the Icy Girl has stayed the course to success. This is despite circulating headlines earlier this year about her personal life, including <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/saweetie-releases-exclusive-statement-after-video-of-altercation-with-quavo-surfaces-there-were-simply-too-many-other-hurdles-to-overcome-in-our-relationship/">her split with Migos&#8217; rapper Quavo</a>. On Thursday, the rapper released the music video to her new song &#8216;Fast (Motion).&#8217; When a comedic duo questioned a running scene in the video, Saweetie responded lightheartedly with a behind-the-scenes look.</p>
<p>Saweetie&#8217;s team provided an exclusive first look of the <a href="https://youtu.be/mkiA9tuJ-xM">song&#8217;s official video</a> to The Shade Room. Later that same Thursday, the video was shared to her official YouTube account. The three-minute film, as described in the video, features a sports-like adventurous theme. Saweetie transitions between various sports like soccer, skydiving and basketball throughout the song.</p>
<p>Well, on Friday comedic duo ItsTheReal took to Twitter to question the Icy Gang about their star&#8217;s running skills.</p>
<p>&#8220;Love to the Icy Gang but is this her first time running?&#8221; ItsTheReal tweeted.</p>
<p>In their tweet, the duo included a short clip of the opening scene where Saweetie is seen participating in a track meet against herself. To give context, It&#8217;sTheReal is a comedic duo made up by brothers Eric and Jeff Rosenthal. Together, they produce a lengthy list of content including sitcoms, podcasts, original music, sketches, etc.</p>
<p>Saweetie kept her response lighthearted with laughing indicators like emojis and a behind-the scenes look. She shared a photo of herself posing in a stretch position with her arms above her head. She&#8217;s standing on a mini treadmill covered in green paint to accomplish that green screen magic.</p>
<p>&#8220;LMAOOOOO it&#8217;s not but y&#8217;all can roast me it was 4am on a mini treadmill I thought I was finna fall off,&#8221; Saweetie tweeted in response.</p>
<p>Afterwards, ItsTheReal retweeted the rapper&#8217;s response to their running question. Check out the interaction below:</p>
