It’s been over a year since Latto made a bang with her 777 record, and her fans are excited to hear what she has in store next. The Atlanta-based baddie began 2023 with a bang, working with producer Dr. Luke and singer LU KALA on the super catchy “Lottery,” and she later joined Mellow Buckzz on “Boom Pt. 2.” For her first solo effort in a minute, Latto gave us “Put It On Da Floor,” which resulted in some tension with Coi Leray but ultimately has brought her massive success.
In the weeks after sharing her contender for Song of the Summer, the blonde beauty tapped Cardi B to join her on the remix. They called it “Put It On Da Floor Again,” and it finds the mother of two providing arguably some of her best work in a minute. Hip-hop heads were unsure how Bardi would manage to top that verse. However, she’s impressed them this New Music Friday (July 7) with “Point Me 2,” a remix of FendiDa Rapper’s “Point Me To The Sl**s.”
As the new remix continues to gain traction online, Cardi can hardly keep up with all the support she’s getting. Latto is among those helping to promote the song, sharing a video of her shaking her booty for the camera while the 30-year-old’s latest arrival plays. Aside from that celebration, there’s also the $10K Chanel bag that Cardi got as a gift from her friend.
While the love between the “Put It On Da Floor Again” collaborators is at an all-time high, it seems another New York rap diva is far less pleased with the 777 artist’s latest looks. The latter has been sporting some looks that appear to take inspiration from Ice Spice’s wardrobe recently, causing subliminal messages to fly on YouTube. Read everything we know so far at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
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.
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.)
Cardi B may be the best dressed we’ve seen at Paris Fashion Week so far, but her “Put It On Da Floor Again” collaborator Latto is also making major moves. 2023 has been huge for the 777 hitmaker so far, with her and Bardi’s collaboration already becoming a top contender for Song of the Summer. Latto performed the solo version live at the 2023 BET Awards, and we’ve also seen her posing nude for the cover of Cosmopolitan in recent weeks.
Now that fashion has once again moved to the forefront of the news cycle, the Atlanta-based starlet is among various celebrities attending runway shows overseas. Her first appearance of the season was outdoors for Iris van Herpen’s stunning F/W 2023-24 collection. As is tradition, the brand dressed Latto for the event, styling her in a stunning purple and black butterfly-inspired gown.

As Billboard notes, the “Wheelie” artist was in the company of popstar Camila Cabello to watch van Herpen’s new Meta Morphism collection make its debut. Latto has yet to update her IG feed with content from the show, however, her Story does give a glimpse of her favourite looks.
At this time it’s unclear if we’ll see the blonde beauty grace any other fashion shows with her presence. Just a few days ago she was in Poland. Following that, her next live performance will take place on Wednesday (July 5) at Rolling Loud Portugal.

Latto‘s latest single, “Put It On Da Floor” has proven to be one of the buzziest hip-hop tracks of the year. Though she doesn’t specifically diss any rapper by name (despite a line many took as shade toward Coi Leray), she keeps all of her opps on notice. Additionally, several rappers have dropped freestyles over the track.
The latest comes from Latto’s fellow Atlanta rapper Omeretta The Great, who leaves no name unchecked.
On her freestyle, she addresses rapper Lil Baby dissing Gunna over rumors he took a plea deal, as Lil Durk, and New Orleans rapper Boosie Bad Azz, both of whom also dissed Gunna.
“They talking bout Baby making disses, I guess he picking a side / But this Atlanta business, someone tell Boosie be quiet / I heard that Durk all on the ‘gram tryna boost up his pride / He sending disses at lil Gunna when Lil Y be outside,” she raps.

This isn’t the first time Omeretta’s bar have been the subject of controversy. Last February, her song “Sorry Not Sorry” caused quite a stir, as she questioned the legitimacy of people from certain neighborhoods who claim to be from Atlanta.

“When it comes to Big Latto and DJ Von, it’s always on the floor!” her official tour DJ said.
Nominated for Best Collaboration and Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor” performance was inspired by her Walmart runs with the gang on TikTok, taking the supermarket to Culture’s Biggest Night as she energized the crowd with choreography and a bit of extra sauce to emphasize some of her lyrics. It got everyone dropping low — even Boosie Badazz, who fell hard on his ass.
Wearing an all-white outfit that mirrored a plastic bag with “I been acting brand new” in red letters as its logo, her performance concluded with plastic bags being thrown at her feet. She ripped out of her top like she was, ahem, acting brand new as the lights when dark, and the camera zoomed in on “RIP Shawty Lo” to pay respect to his song “Dunn Dunn,” which Latto references in her hook.
Later in the evening, Latto won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist over Cardi B, Coi Leray, GloRilla, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, and Nicki Minaj. Visibly excited on stage, Latto said she wasn’t going to cry this year.
“Shout out to all the other women in the category, all the women to pave the way for this to even be possible,” Latto said. “This category is going crazy this year. Shout out to some women I think should’ve been in the category: Doechii, Maiya the Don, Flo Milli, Mello Buckzz, TiaCorine. Shout out to all the women, we killing it. This is the year of women. Hopefully, we gonna see an all-female tour very soon.”
The accolade doesn’t lie. Latto’s time is now. Fans are obsessed with shouting back the opening line, “Rip me out the plastic, I been acting brand new” when they hear “Put It On Da Floor” and “Put It On Da Floor Again,” the song’s remix with Cardi B. It’s a memorable lyric that fueled a “Rip Me Out The Plastic” TikTok challenge that has people embracing being fresh out of the box in appearance, hairstyles, nail transformations, academic achievements… you name it.
The 24-year-old rapper’s latest single finds her swinging the pendulum from the upbeat, pop sound heard in “Lottery” and “Big Energy” back to familiar territory: she’s popping off over a hard-hitting beat. “Put It On Da Floor Again” is bold and addictive, with bars on bars for captions from both Big Latto and Bardi. It has all the right ingredients to deem it the song of the summer, following a formula that Latto has mastered as a Gen Z artist who keeps her Jackpots engaged through social media, where she talks directly to them, and curates her singles for a TikTok generation who consumes them religiously.
Produced by Go Grizzly, Squat Beats, and Pooh Beatz, Latto’s original version, “Put It On Da Floor,” was released officially on streaming services on April 21, with the video serving as a Coachella 2023 recap that seemingly responded to claims that she doctored photos of her crowd. Latto’s versatility as a hitmaker shows in how much Clayton County has raised her, never going too mainstream to infuse a song with explicit lyrics and Atlanta strip club swagger.
When she was catching flack for the change-up in style for “Big Energy,” she told Uproxx in our 2021 December cover story, “I wanted to push myself. I wanted to challenge myself. Honestly, when you’ve been rapping since eight years old, you got to find new inspiration and new sparks. I just wanted to try something different and I didn’t really give a fuck whether people liked it or they didn’t because this was for me.” The point is, Latto is finally free to rap about what she wants to rap about after her “Big Energy” moment, as long as it remains meaningful to her.
Latto is an example of someone who takes it on the chin and keeps pushing. It’s why people love her immense Capricorn energy too. She hustles every new single like it’s the next one to pop regardless of outside forces working against her. Early predictions indicated that the contenders for “Song of the Summer” were Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” and Coi Leray’s “Players,” both Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits. But the pool has now widened to include not only “Put It On Da Floor Again,” but Sexyy Red’s “Pound Town,” IDK’s “Pinot Noir,” DaBaby’s “SHAKE SUMN,” and Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “The Hillbillies.” Depending on who you ask, there’s no clear winner yet.
Latto’s strategy of doing a remix extends the life cycle of her record just like “Big Energy” getting a remix by Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled, which helped it move from No. 14 to No. 3 on the Hot 100 in 2022. This time around, Latto showed her Jackpots that Cardi B would be on “Put It On Da Floor Again” by participating in her own “Rip Me Out the Plastic” challenge for the reveal. Cardi B’s Midas touch helped boost streams previously when she was a guest feature on GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2” and Kay Flock’s “Shake It.”
Since “Put It On Da Floor Again” released on June 2, Latto has been captured at strip clubs rapping along to the song, throwing fresh ones on the floor with a plastic bag over her head. By mid-June, “Put It On Da Floor Again” debuted at No. 13 and is currently at No. 39 on the Hot 100 in the week ending on July 1, supporting Cardi B’s streak of working with new female rappers and keeping the unity strong.
Cardi B has been a fan of Latto since 2020, where you can pull receipts of her talking to Bardi Gang about her and encouraging her to drop “Another Nasty Song” by teasing its lyrics. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion also featured Latto in the “WAP” video alongside breakout stars like Normani, Rosalía, Sukihana, and Rubi Rose because Cardi liked her music and believed she would break into the mainstream.
“I am so proud,” Cardi told Latto during an IG Live before the midnight release of “Put It On Da Floor Again.” “’Cause I have been in the studio for a couple of months, and it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I want her to win so bad.’” She added the record inspired her to return to the booth after dealing with anxiety over releasing music.
“I’ve been patiently waiting my turn,” Latto replied. “I have seen her probably two-three times. I probably sent her two-three songs and she always responds every time, the realest bitch ever. And it just ended up being the time.”
“Put It On Da Floor Again” is incredibly catchy because Latto and Cardi B are genuine friends. In interviews, Latto has given praise to Cardi B for being in her corner, sharing advice on things she’s done before, and remaining focused. The video features cameos by the producer Go Grizz, Cardi B’s husband Offset, and Louisiana State University forward Angel Reese. Latto and Cardi B’s on-screen chemistry is cute as they turn up at a house party and a high-end jewelry store. They are having so much fun that it adds to the song’s playfulness when you hear it outside.
Both are about finding organic collaborators that aren’t manufactured by their labels or A&Rs. That’s why you hear Cardi B matching her cadence and flow, taking extra care in ensuring every line just had enough words. “I had to make sure the bars weren’t too long and they weren’t too short,” Cardi said during an IG Live breaking down her verse while munching on some Popeye’s. “Every single time I kept rapping I was like, ‘God fucking damn, I feel like I’m missing a word. And then we would add a word and now it’s too much fucking words. It was kinda hard, but we made it.”
To have a shot at the Song of the Summer title is making a record that’ll be undeniably everywhere. Latto and Cardi B are working “Put It On Da Floor Again” at every major concert appearance so far, performing it at Summer Jam 2023 and Birthday Bash ATL when 21 Savage brought them out. The impact is starting to be felt, where people bring plastic bags to the club to rip themselves out of it and court correspondents are dropping lyrics during trial recaps to lighten the mood. The momentum includes getting her friends Yung Miami and GloRilla to do their own versions, a nostalgic nod to blog-era freestyles.
There are still plenty of days of summer left to crown a champion. If this prediction becomes a spoiler, “Put It On Da Floor Again” is going down in history as one of those songs leading a cultural reset of rap fans embracing female rap anthems and their ratchet sides again.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Latto is currently overseas touring Europe, where fans are showing their appreciation in some interesting ways. During her recent stop at the Open’er Festival in Poland, near the performance walkway got Latto’s attention with his sign, which prompted her to stop and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. What did it say? “Latto, sign my ass!”
So, the “Put It On Da Floor” rapper did just that, inviting him over the barricade and kneeling down with a marker to sign his butt, which was conveniently exposed by his thong-style underwear (it was not, however, leopard print, which would have made the whole thing perfect). They also twerked together, to the apparent delight of concertgoers nearby.
I’m glad Latto had fun in Poland She is really popular there Thank you Poland fans for appreciating Latto @Lattopic.twitter.com/eMwblgnuMs
Meanwhile, even when fans aren’t chucking things at stars, they’re offering up other wildly inappropriate “gifts”; a fan at a Pink show dumped their mother’s ashes on staged during her set, while another handed her a wheel of cheese. It’s clear that during the pandemic, a lot of us forgot (or just never learned) our concert etiquette… maybe we should all be more like the Polish.
Latto is single-handly encouraging the youth to put an end to plastic usage. The rapper’s new song “Put It On Da Floor” has everyone rushing to destroy the nearest plastic bag they can find. During the 2023 BET Awards, Latto took her demands to heart with a fiery performance of the track.
While the song originally debuted during her Coachella 2023 set as a response to her ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj, it has become an anthem behind the beef. The single was pushed even further when she enlisted Cardi B for the remix to the song, “Put It On Da Floor Again.”
During the fierce performance, Latto’s training with Teyana Taylor has certainly improved her dynamic presence. Outside of her performance, Latto is also nominated in two categories of the evening. The first is for Best Collaboration via her song “Big Energy (Remix)” with Mariah Carey featuring Dj Khaled. She is also nominated for Best Female Hip Hop Artist. In that category, she is going up against her collaborator Cardi B, Coi Leray, GloRilla, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, and Nicki Minaj.
The music scene is buzzing with exciting updates from various ladies. Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice team up for the release of their much-anticipated track “Barbie World,” Monica launches her own radio show called Mo’ Talk. At the same time, GloRilla and Yung Miami deliver impressive verses on Latto‘s “Put It On Da Floor” Remix. […]
TiaCorine has been working hard to be recognized in the past few years. In fact, the North Carolina native has been actively involved in music since her childhood. After a viral hit in 2020, things finally began to fall into place for her. However, more buzz surrounds her today, as her skills and style have opened new doors for her.
Following the release of the highly anticipated XXL Freshman Class of 2023, TiaCorine’s name is about to be on many more lips. Her braggadocious rap style is very reminiscent of the iconic femcees that came before her, and her eclectic style is always worth a double-take. The Hip Hop star is finally achieving the recognition she’s fought hard to attain. She’s since performed at Coachella, worked with big names, and has been the subject of an alleged Drake co-sign.
Early Days & Rise To Fame
TiaCorine hails from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She grew up in a musically blended home as the daughter of a Shoshone Indian mother and an Afro-Japanese father. TiaCorine credits her mother’s constant playing of music at home for shaping her love for music. Her mother also took her to symphonies and orchestras when she was young, which in turn led to the rapper participating in numerous talent shows.
In 2018, she released the song “Lotto” to SoundCloud, and it would eventually gain fame on TikTok much, much later. Soon, she began to slowly but steadily gain a loyal fanbase as her music spread across the country. Many notable artists have since shown love to both TiaCorine and “Lotto,” including A$AP Rocky, Rico Nasty, and SZA.
TiaCorine’s primary influence is Nicki Minaj, while she also loves Trina and Lil Kim’s music styles. Unsurprisingly, Minaj’s bright yet cutthroat style of rapping is also evident in TiaCorine’s works, and she is just as capable of freestyling, as she is writing killer bars. By late 2020, she released her debut EP, 34Corine, and began promoting her music on tour.
Buzzing Career
TiaCorine has previously stated that she’s become somewhat of a hero in her hometown of Winston-Salem. On representing her home, she said, “A lot of people in our city look at me as the city hero, because no one has made it out of Winston and gotten this far.” She continued by alluding to herself as the savior of her city. “It’s like I’m carrying my city on my back right now. And everybody here believes in me. And they’re like, ‘You’re going to get people to pay attention to Winston-Salem.’ I’m like the city’s savior.”
One look at TiaCorine shows that her fashion choices are a significant indication of her personal style. The rapper opts for bright colors and distinctive streetwear that showcase her outward rap persona. She is also a massive fan of anime, which is highlighted in some of the ways she chooses to rap, as well as her unique fashion choices and statements.
TiaCorine is determined to keep having fun online and making her friends, family, and hometown proud. She and her daughter continue to reside in Winston-Salem today, as she insists North Carolina is what keeps her going and aligns her. The energetic star has also kept many of her close friends as a part of her team.
TiaCorine achieved another major hit with the release of the single “FreakyT.” The remix was shared in April 2023 and featured Latto, whom she later performed with at Coachella. The rapper maintains an aura of confidence in herself and her work, and that’s undoubtedly one of the primary reasons she is set to go far. It’s no surprise that she’s joined the coveted XXL Freshman set.
GloRilla has finally unveiled her highly-requested remix of Latto’s track, “Put It On Da Floor.” She teased the remix earlier this week, sharing a screenshot of the remix on her Instagram Story. She also previously expressed her admiration for the song, Tweeting that it has “a condo in [her] head.” She’s not the first artist to want to put her spin on the song, as Cardi B recently hopped on a remix called “Put It On Da Floor Again.” City Girls’ Yung Miami also just teased a remix, sharing a snippet with her Instagram followers earlier this week.
GloRilla showed her support for the remix featuring Cardi B upon it’s release, writing, “If Cardi don’t do s**t else, she gone slide on a mf beat. Go cousin.” She later hinted that she may want to have a go, revealing that her fans have been requesting it. “I ain’t did a remix since I blew up,” GloRilla wrote, “But da streets keep telling me to remix ‘Put It On Da Floor,’ and I think I’m finna listen. Dat mf too hard.” Cardi B replied to that Tweet, telling her to “Do it!!!!!!” GloRilla told Cardi to “Say less, cousin.”
Fans have finally been graced with the eagerly-awaited “GloMix.” GloRilla’s take on the song features creative bars highlighted by her signature, bold flow. The 23-year-old rolls in cash, and flexes with cars and jewelry in the fun accompanying music video.
GloRilla was recently announced to be part of XXL’s Freshman class of 2023. She’s joined by other artists like Lola Brooke, Finesse2tymes, Fridayy, Luh Tyler, and more. She’ll be highlighted in XXL’s Freshman issue in July. The young rapper is also nominated for six BET Awards this year, coming in second for the most nominations behind Drake. Her debut EP Anyways, Life’s Great, which features her hit collab with Cardi B “Tomorrow 2,” is even nominated for Album Of The Year. Fans can find out what awards she’ll be taking home live, on Sunday (June 25).
