Latto Reveals Age Jokes From Internet Trolls Bother Her, Thinks She “Looks Like An Old White Woman”

by

Dealing with online criticism is never easy, but once you reach celebrity status, the hate coming your way feels seemingly endless – just ask Latto, who got candid about what comments bother her during the debut episode of her 777 Radio show. For her first interview, the rap diva spoke with R&B starlet Chloe Bailey, whose debut solo album, In Pieces came out today (March 31). During their chat, the girls not only chatted about past relationship rumours surrounding them but also their thoughts on the often nasty online discourse that runs rampant.

“Even things we weren’t insecure about, people will poke on,” the Swarm actress pointed out to her friend. “Yeah! Like me looking old,” Latto interjected, making it known that she’s not fond of people acting surprised to find out that she’s only 24 years old. “You don’t look old,” Bailey reassured her as the “Wheelie” hitmaker laughed. “That’s crazy!” The host went on to explain that she often sees herself compared to older white women, which seemingly triggers some sort of negative reaction within her.

“I can’t, that’s the things that be going through our heads!” the Atlanta-born vocalist said while giggling. “It is!” Latto agreed. “And it’s all because of social media though, it really is… I can’t say all, but, like you said, it just heightens your insecurities,” she added. “And makes up new ones!” Bailey chimed in, causing her friend to reply, “I never thought I looked old until I read it on the internet and now I just think I look like an old white woman.”

Aside from that hilarious snippet, the first episode of 777 Radio also saw Bailey address past rumours about a fling between her and Quavo. While she didn’t expressly explain their history, she did label the Migos member a “really nice guy,” also praising his locs. Gossip surrounding the rapper and R&B artist began flying after they were filming Praise This together, though nothing was ever officially confirmed.

It feels like just yesterday that Keke Palmer shared the exciting news of her first pregnancy with the world. The Disney Channel alum was hosting Saturday Night Live at the time when she addressed the rumours circulating online claiming she’s with child. In the months after confirming her venture into motherhood, the actress also subtly revealed her baby’s gender on late-night TV, as well as some of her future plans for raising him.

On Monday (February 27), the Illinois-born entertainer revealed via Instagram that she’s given birth, making her and boyfriend Darius Jackson first-time parents. Palmer had plenty of fun photos and videos of them to share as they adjust to their new life, as well as the first look at the little one, who already has a full head of dark hair. “I’m not hiding the world from my son, I’m hiding my son from the world,” she joked in the caption, expertly quoting Drake.

Elsewhere in the same post, Palmer shared some heartwarming anecdotes about her man and baby. “Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating, ‘Someone’ by El Debarge was a favourite. We became each other’s someone and made a someone, look at God.” Immediately after, she let followers know that she and Jackson’s little one is a Rolling Ray fan, “’cause purrr.”

“Born during Black History Month, with a name to match,” her announcement post’s caption concluded. “LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.” Like many other celebrity infant names, this one is certainly unique, and not everyone has been taking kindly to it on social media.

Clapping Back at the Haters

Over on Twitter, reposts of Palmer’s exciting news have been appearing across the app. Many are happy to see the 29-year-old, who grew up alongside so many of us, starting a family with a man who makes her so happy. Others, of course, are hung up on the moniker she and Jackson crafted for the young boy. “That name sound like it led a civil rights March,” one user joked yesterday evening.

It wasn’t long before the multi-talent responded to the criticism with a comedic clap back. “It’s giving I marched with Martin, purrrr,” she expertly teased. Keep scrolling for more Twitter reactions to little Leodis’ arrival, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
