Latto Teases Album Title & Brings Out 21 Savage, Usher, & More Guests At Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash

by

Latto recently made Atlanta’s HOT 107.9 radio station history by becoming the first female artist to headline their Birthday Bash festival in the city. Moreover, she treated fans to a pretty energetic, star-studded, and monumental show that teased the title of her upcoming new album as Sugar Honey Iced Tea. The ATL femcee brought out her rumored boo 21 Savage, Usher, Summer Walker, Anycia, and Rasheeda as special guests for the performance as well, making sure that folks had new things to look forward to every few songs. It all seemed like a lot of fun, and like she’s almost ready to take things to the next level with her soon-to-come LP.

Furthermore, this Birthday Bash performance also prompted some interesting theories and possible updates on the whole Ice Spice beef. For those unaware, Latto seemed to directly diss Spice by referencing her “Think U The S**t (Fart)” song in a tweet, following months of tension and back-and-forths. In addition, this HOT 107.9 performance’s tease of a potential new album title with Sugar Honey Iced Tea also adds to this theory and saga. After all, spell out the acronym behind that possible album title, and you’ve got a whole lot of shade over the Bronx femcee’s earlier 2024 single.

Latto Teases New Album’s Title

Meanwhile, Latto is also making headlines thanks to Azealia Banks’ viral thoughts on her. “She is really missing out on so much iconicness by not being ‘mulatto,’” Banks suggested on Twitter. “2nd off, for all that social backlash and for people to be dumb enough not to realize her name is still Mulatto but abbreviated should prove that they stupid internet anger addicts. Who are not as socially insightful as they think they are and made all that ruckus just to get hoodwinked. PLUS IS HER CALLING HERSELF MULATTO AT ALL EVEN SLIGHTLY AS DENIGRATING And DETRIMENTAL AS BLACK ARTISTS CALLING THEMSELVES AND THEIR PEERS N*****S ALL DAY?????????????????”

Regardless of what wild takes there are concerning Latto online, she continues to impress, apply pressure, and build a lot of support and anticipation for her next big move. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later. It’s been a long journey up to this point and we haven’t gotten a full-length release in a while. So we’ll see what guests pop up, what the final title will be, and what she will lyrically and commercially stun with.

Latto Fans Vandalize Ice Spice’s Promo Billboard In Atlanta

by

Latto and Ice Spice are currently locked in a cold war that, even if it wasn’t true to begin with, they are definitely leaning into. However, we have to admit that while these two femcees are doing a great job of being competitive and calculated with their responses and subliminal jabs, their fanbases are also carrying a lot of weight in this battle. For example, apparently some 777 fans vandalized one of Spice’s billboard trucks in their fav’s home city of Atlanta, which promoted her new single “Think U The S**t (Fart).” They crossed out the emojis, wrote “777” next to them, and also wrote “Stream Sunday Service” below them.

Furthermore this follows an instance of Latto denying that something was a shot at Ice Spice… while also taking a shot at Ice Spice. She recently tweeted “Didn’t hit tho,” which many interpreted as a dig at her Bronx rival’s decision to put those trucks in Atlanta. Later, the 25-year-old wrote on the social media platform, “This was about that old pic going viral not that lil girl thanks,” and then deleted it off Twitter. Both fanbases were quick to respond and take more shots at each other, and now all that’s left is for them to directly call each other out.

Latto Fans Ruin Ice Spice’s Promo In Atlanta

Another hometown debate surrounds the rollouts for these singles that they’re fighting over. While Ice Spice filmed her “Think U The S**t (Fart)” video in Miami, Latto actually went to her opponent’s home city of the Bronx for the visuals for “Sunday Service.” Many thought that this was a downright dangerous decision for her, let alone a strong move against the 24-year-old. But they’ve kept things competitive solely on the rapping and artistic ends, which means there’s no real reason for escalation.

Meanwhile, other fans of the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker are taking sides and making their own moves to defend her. One of them is fellow New Yorker Funk Flex, who said he might not play “Sunday Service” out of solidarity with Ice Spice. Let’s see if she has any other moves up her sleeve. For more news on the Bronx MC and the latest updates on Latto, stick around on HNHH.

Latto Seems To Blast Ice Spice On New Single “Sunday Service” Amid Alleged Beef

by

Latto and Ice Spice’s alleged beef is ramping up more and more by the week, it seems, with supposed back-and-forth shots. The newest entry in this saga is the former’s brand-new single, “Sunday Service,” on which she references the latter’s recently released song “Think U The S**t (Fart).” “These b***hes corny, soon as monkey see, then you know monkey do,” the 777 MC raps on the cut. “Do you rap or do you tweet? ‘Cause I can’t tell, get in the booth, b***h/ Stop all that motherf***ing yelling, h*e/ ‘Cause I ain’t buying what you selling, h*e/ Think I’m the s**t, b***h, I know it, h*e/ Jesus walked on water, I got ice boiling, though.”

Of course, that last line about ice boiling is another pretty thinly-veiled comment about Ice Spice, or at least, that’s what fans assume. There’s the obvious chance that all these shots and references are just to lean into the narrative, and that they don’t really have any real reason to beef with each other. Still, given how much femcee beef is based on loyalty these days, it’s clear that Nicki Minaj has very different opinions on both. Regardless, Latto is clearly not coming to play with her new tracks, and the most important thing about these disses is that they’ve all been on pretty good records.

Latto’s Alleged Ice Spice Diss On “Sunday Service”

Furthermore, this is also something that the teased visuals for “Sunday Service” suggested. By placing a black bar over many women’s eyes in the background, including Ice Spice, Latto hinted at this being a diss record towards a lot of opponents. If nothing else, it’s a very clever marketing strategy that gets us as fans immediately invested in deciphering potential disses. She probably knows that very well, and so far today (February 9), the only big shots that everyone’s talking about are those seemingly referencing the Bronx rapper.

Nevertheless, we can’t really tell where this beef will go from here, or if it’s really that serious to begin with. After all, they’re both enjoying a lot of career success right now that they could capitalize on and continue to develop. The Atlanta lyricist has a new collab out with Jennifer Lopez, which is huge for visibility, and Spice seems poised to make a big splash in 2024. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ice Spice and Latto.

Latto Hits Ice Spice’s Home Of The Bronx For New Music Video Shoot, Fans React

by

Out of all the unconfirmed yet spicy and speculated rap beefs out right now, Ice Spice and Latto is one that many fans think will boil over soon. Of course, these are all just rumors based on alleged subliminals, social media shots, and more interpretations. However, even though this is firmly riding the gossip train, we can’t deny that the signs are getting clearer and easier to draw connections between. For example, the 777 star was recently spotted filming a music video in the Like..? hitmaker’s neighborhood of the Bronx. Complete with a gaggle of security trucks and onlookers, we’ll see whether the resulting product furthers this or if it’s just a coincidence.

Furthermore, folks in the comments sections of posts below are pointing out how this isn’t really a violent or hostile issue, and thus, this doesn’t mean what it would mean in another scenario. Still, it’s curious how this connection falls amid the context of previous alleged back-and-forths between the two. Does Latto want this to be a statement or to bait Ice Spice into a lyrical spar? Or are we just reading too deeply into the whole thing -– or misinterpreting an olive branch, perhaps?

Latto Is In The Bronx For A Music Video, And Ice Spice Fans Are Heated

Overall, nothing would make us happier than these femcees dropping a hot track together to dispel these claims. Whether there were issues before or not, it would be great to see what this would represent for the rap genre, particularly for women within it, as female rap beef seems so common and exploited these days. Sure, some instances (like the current war between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj) are much more direct and fair game. But as folks pick sides in that battle (and we all know where Ice Spice and Latto stand), it ends up creating and adding to unnecessary division.

Another Angle

Meanwhile, the last instance of these two young artists throwing shots at each other had to do with a song snippet that released this weekend. Until they clear the air one way or another, we’ll have to stay on the speculative tip. But here’s hoping that no one has to step over another to get a leg up in the game. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Latto and Ice Spice.

Latto Reacts To Her 13-Year-Old Self’s Performance In Viral Video: Watch

by

Every great rapper’s got to start somewhere, even if many of them never imagined they’d make it as an MC. For Latto, though, it’s clear that there was no other path for her, and it’s heartening to see her look back on this journey. Moreover, you might have caught a clip that went viral on social media of her live rap performance as a 13-year-old that caught many’s eye. After this made more rounds and started to gain a lot of traction, the Colombus-born but Atlanta-raised spitter reacted to the clip on Twitter. “Don’t give up [star emoji],” she simply captioned the clip, hopefully inspiring many others to do the same.

Of course, this was a particularly interesting moment because of all the recent song teases that Latto’s been offering these days. For example, she will collaborate with rapper Anycia, and fans really liked the bar work, chemistry, and beat choice that the two femcees emulated in a snippet. However, it didn’t come without its “conflicts” in the form of fanbase wars, as people thought that the 25-year-old sent shots at Nicki Minaj with a bar about an auntie getting hurt. While there are certainly more ridiculous female rap beefs that die-hards make up, it’s still tiring to interpret every negative bar as aimed at a specific target.

Not only that, but this spat also caused folks to assume a rift between her and Ice Spice. Again, that’s all based on theories and speculation, but this hasn’t stopped Latto’s hunger to be a top-tier lyricist that she displayed as early as her teen years. Along with other names like Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Little Simz, Doechii, and many more, she’s among the long list of reasons as to why women are leading rap forward this decade. It doesn’t hurt that the 777 artist also touched down on her own brand of Georgia-inspired hip-hop whose Southern sensibilities make for very high-octane and confident tracks.

Meanwhile, she isn’t dealing with haters with petty attacks, but rather responding to them as a multi-millionaire. That line can get blurry, but which artist has ever been safe from teasing the haters and getting flared up every once in a while? All we can hope for is that most of her energy, which she built for at least 12 years, goes into her music and not her detractors. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Latto.

Latto & Nicki Minaj Shade Rumors Continue With Former’s New Snippet

by

Another day, another chapter in the Nicki Minaj and Latto beef saga, one that keeps on giving despite both femcee’s efforts to reach across the aisle to other female artists. Moreover, this time around, it stems from the latter’s bar about “auntie hatin’, she burnt” on a new snippet of an upcoming collab with Anycia. Of course, this is just fan speculation, as there’s no shortage of alleged shots between these two and this is just as vague as the last couple of examples die-hards theorized. Still, it inspired as much debate as ever on social media, and continues the sad trend of always putting female rappers in a battlefield in ways that we don’t often do with male MCs.

Regardless, what’s done is done, and this feud was actually pretty direct at one point, originating over discrepancies in categorizations for award nominations that involved personal criticism from one to the other. As such, we can’t really blame fans for looking for these connections between Latto and Nicki Minaj, and they’ve even roped in plenty of other artists. For example, people think that Ice Spice has a feud with the 777 hitmaker, although that’s even more speculative and rumored than the battle with the Barbz. Whether there’s any weight behind this or not, another typical and unfortunate thing about these matchups is that, when fans pick a side, it’s hard for artists not to beef because of how much their supporters are feeding the narrative, and that goes for any artist in these situations.

However, many fans rightfully want folks to focus on the music instead, and to give Anycia her flowers for this snippet. In fact, she came through on Twitter to praise the “Grinch Freestyle” lyricist and her sister for the great times. “latto is such an amazing girl,” she wrote. “so sweet & down to earth. humble, selfless & very welcoming. love her down. prolly my favorite person i’ve met. brooke too. best pair of sisters. REAL girl girls!!!!” The song sounds great from what we’ve heard, so we look forward to hearing what else Anycia brings to the table.

Anycia Praises Latto

Meanwhile, what do you think about this whole debacle? How do you think these artists will look back on this spat? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Latto and Nicki Minaj.

Latto Sends Her Sultry Pics To Her Man Before Posting For Approval, She Reveals

by

Whenever people, particularly females, post some sexy snaps online and are in a relationships, there’s always a group of people that blast them for not keeping these private. As understandable as this attitude is, it’s also quite limiting. After all, who’s to say that the person’s partner has a problem with these posts in the first place? Moreover, this is exactly what Latto went through recently, particularly in regards to an Instagram post promoting S*vage x Fenty. One fan in particular called her out for maybe doing a little too much with her steaminess, and she responded in kind.

“Y’all can call me l*me but only one person supposed to be seeing these,” they expressed on Twitter, in reference to Latto’s activity. Shortly afterwards, the Atlanta MC came through with a screenshot of text message exchanges with her man that she shared on social media. His contact names him as “Boo Daddyyyy [red heart emoji],” so it looks like things are still being kept under wraps. “Too much for my s*vage fenty post?” she asked him with the sultry snap in question. “No you look good,” the mystery boo replied along with three heart-eyed emojis.

Of course, this is far from the first time that the “Different Breed” rapper had to take to the Internet to respond to accusations, criticism, or speculation about her. For example, Latto recently spoke on rumors that she stole Sexyy Red’s style with True Religion jeans, sparking beef suppositions. “No what’s cr*zy is y’all accuse me of copying any and every thing and when I prove y’all wrong I’m doing tewww muchhhh,” she expressed. “Yall h*es def not fast… I was addressing Shaderoom comments under a post of ME f**k is u talm bout dizzy b***h if u gone be messy at least KEEP UP.”

Meanwhile, Sexyy Red herself shut these rumors down, so it seems this ended before it really started. Even Ice Spice had something to say about it, although she suggested that she deserves the credit. Can’t we all just focus on these being good looks rather than who deserves credit for a pair of jeans? On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Latto.

Latto Deems “Put It On Da Floor” To Be The Best Song Of The Summer This Year

by

Lotto’s “Put It On Da Floor,” in its original or remixed versions, had the rap game in a chokehold this past summer. Maybe you didn’t notice it if you’re not a fan of the 777 MC, but it was one of the hits that carried through the entire summer months. As such, it’s only natural that she would declare her own track the song of the summer. During a recent interview with Complex, the 24-year-old spoke on how that track became an organic hit thanks to people using it in social media trends. What’s more is that she said she didn’t really aim for it to have that effect, but is incredibly appreciative of the support and reception.

“That song got my heart,” Latto remarked to the publication. “That song was just so effortless. It was really all done in one day. I wasn’t trying to make the song of the summer. It’s a street record. It was fun. It was for the culture.” Of course, that could just be all talk, but if everyone knew exactly how to make a smasher, then the hits don’t become hits at all when compared to each other.

Elsewhere in their conversation, the Columbus-born rapper also spoke on the state of rap today, its forefathers, the good hands it lays in, and its perceived dwindling in commercial success. “You got to pay respect to the people who came before, who made any of this even possible,” Latto expressed. “And then aside from that, I’m a real lover of music. I don’t just do this just for the money and to get cute and get my makeup and hair done. I really love what I do. My heart is for music. So I have a different type of respect for the genre.”

Meanwhile, that respect is evident when it comes to her efforts to uplift other female artists in the game. Sure, there’s beef and feuds in between, mostly driven by warring fanbases and a misogynistic tendency to pit femcees against each other. Still, those exceptions don’t define the rule, and the amount of women in hip-hop that jumped on “Put It On Da Floor” is a testament to that.

Latto Dressed In Eye-Popping Pink Out In Paris

by

Female rapper Latto stopped by the Eiffel Tower and other Paris attractions for an impromptu Instagram photo shoot. She was out in France for Iris Van Herpen’s Paris Fashion Week Runway Show. However, she took some time to herself to go shopping for some Chanel and to pose in a pink outfit that accentuated all of her curves. “Oui oui,” she says in the photo dump caption, complete with a lipstick mouth emoji.

The outfit Latto had on was nothing short of eye-popping. Her curly hair was done up, allowing her bangs to fall forward. Reflective shades and a pearl choker necklace with the Coco Chanel logo in silver adorned her face and neck. Her top, however, was the show-stealer: A double Chanel bandana enlarged to fit Latto’s chest, tied in the back, with the bottom flowing in the Parisian wind. Pink short shorts and thick, fuzzy pink heels completed the extravagant look.

Latto Is Quickly Becoming A Fashion Icon

This isn’t the first time Latto has shown out as a fashionista. She showed up to the runway show as a beautiful butterfly. She’s also shown her appreciation to rap peer Cardi B with a $10k Chanel bag. Coincidentally, she has her own Chanel bag in this photo dump. A big fan of Coco Chanel, Latto believes there’s such a thing as “too much.” She ends the collage with a fun pose beside her friend, fashion model Brooklyn Nikole.

In other Latto news, she’s been posting a buttload of photos on her Instagram, literally. She’s been performing at various concerts around the world and hitting up the fashion world more often now. Basically, Latto is living the rap life she’s always dreamed of. She even brought the pink vibes to Poland, where she posed on a pink couch. (The rapper also signed a fan’s backside during a performance; Poland absolutely loved her while she was in the country.)

Coi Leray Speaks Further On Latto Line About Her Body: “I’m About Positivity”

by

Coi Leray and Latto’s beef was short-lived, but is still something the Masachusetts native has in mind. Moreover, she recently spoke to Ebro for Apple Music 1’s Rap Life Radio on her new album and also about the 777 artist’s line about her on “Put It On Da Floor.” “Smoking on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray,” she rapped, which Coi took issue with online. Then, the Atlanta MC showed her love during her Coachella set, which the “Bops” rhymer reciprocated. However, she went into more detail about why she reacted the way she did in the first place.

“It’s not a sensitive conversation,” Coi Leray told Ebro. “I feel like it wasn’t more about the body, it was more of mentioning my name. I’m about positivity. For real. And I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. And not only that, I feel like the problem with our community today is we be so quick to try to change things but we don’t do nothing to actually change anything.

“So if we’re going to say we’re going to stop talking about bodies, then don’t mention anything about my body,” she continued. “Just period. Don’t compare me to nothing, don’t think about nothing. We’re not smoking on anything, it’s disrespect. And where I come from I just don’t like that.” Not only that, but the 26-year-old reflected on rap beef as a whole and how it pushes narratives of contention among artists, especially female ones.

“I don’t know, it’s starting to get old,” she remarked. “The rap beefs are for the guys. You know, I don’t even think they should do it. Us artists, we kind of control the narrative. So if we just spend more time pushing that narrative we won’t give these headlines and these blogs no reason to go ahead and push this negative narrative. That’s something we got to come together on.” For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray and Latto, stay posted on HNHH.
