After experiencing the kind of back-to-back heartbreak that could break anyone, Nitty Scott said ya basta. She was forced to pause everything, including the rollout of her project Jiggy Mami. In this conversation, she shares how trying to push through the pain only masked it, and why choosing rest, therapy, and truth over performance became her only option. We dive into what it really takes to manage yourself as a mujer in music, from booking gigs and budgeting to building a team, and why “f**k you money” isn’t just about success. For Nitty, financial freedom means safety, especially for women trying to escape toxic situations. She shares that during her time managing herself, she made more money and gained more opportunities than ever before—proof that going independent doesn’t mean losing power, it means taking it back. She also opens up about being told to downplay her Puerto Rican roots and hide her relationships, even being discouraged from dating Kendrick Lamar, all in the name of being “marketable.” Now she’s reclaiming every part of who she is: queer, Black, Boricua—sin miedo. When asked what message she’d leave for the next generation of Latinas and creatives who feel unseen, Nitty said: “To live out loud because your existence in itself is important in a system that doesn’t want you.” From writing poetry in her childhood bedroom to surviving abuse and chasing her dream in NYC at 16, Nitty’s story is a blueprint for healing, evolving, and never letting the world erase you.
