In spite of the controversy surrounding her name change, Latto is having a great 2021 rap year.
The Atlanta rapper is coming off a strong 2021 MTV Video Music Awards showing where she was nominated for “MTV Push Performance of the Year” (for the Lil Baby-featured “Sex Lies”), just a couple of months removed where she snagged a couple of noms at the 2021 BET Awards.
On Friday (September 24), Latto officially went into new album mode with the unveiling of her new single, “Big Energy.”
The record samples Tom Tom Club’s instantly recognizable “Genius of Love” and the Arrad-directed video features Latto modeling several looks like a seductive ladybug, an angel, and a metaphorical lottery ‘777’ jackpot — with the latter troupe being centered around a CashApp campaign where fans can score a $777 blessing just for participating.
However, on Saturday (September 25), Latto felt the need to address the negativity constantly tapping her mentions in the wake of her new visual.
“I hate this Latto hate train I feel so misunderstood being I’m literally the least problematic person ever [in real life,” she wrote with a crying emoji.
21 Savage, who had every reason not to be paying attention to new Hip Hop releases, having spent a few minutes in jail on Friday over his 2019 ICE arrest, went out his way to proclaim Latto royalty in his own hometown.
“This too hard,” he wrote along with a fire emoji. “Queen Of The A.”
Cardi B Says Female Rappers Are The Most ‘Disrespected’ Despite Making Great Music
Whether fans love it or hate it, Latto’s “Big Energy” video will be featured on her upcoming album. Watch it now on YouTube below.
lol latto she is dating rapper WALI DA GREAT
She like it we should love it!
Wow so she’s dating someone even less known than her? Because I’ve never heard this chick’s music and your comment is the first time I’ve ever heard of that dude. LMAO the rap game is in the toilet hahaha
Pretty dumb ass statement…i take that back extremely dumb azz fvck statement!
First of all it probably seems like female rappers are disrespected more because they live on social media. People in real life don’t give a fuck about your name or your music. Also, no, Im not gonna show you respect for making WAP. Remy Ma and Lauryn Hill are two well respected female artists. Why? They don’t put out trash music and hang around on social media
This is why it’s hard to take female rappers and R&B singers seriously. They somehow think that fans have to be nice to them when in reality, or celebrities, and they should be prepared for whatever shit talking comes their way. They get made fun of but they’re rich for it. You won’t hear any sympathy from me. Shut up crybaby and log off
Her forehead big as a mf and her jaw square af. Lmao she ugly af
Imaging the media trying to push Rosanne bar to white people as a sex symbol.
She’s right,the hate is real. A bunch of broke girls making something out of nothing. Mad about her name & her looks, really. You elevate people just to pull them down because you’re not happy with yourself. Get your money up, then you won’t feel the need to bring others down
