Latto Violated Health & Hygiene Policies With Used Panties Listing, eBay Says

by

Latto nearly made $100K in a matter of hours before eBay discovered she violated health and hygiene policies.

After a troll commented on her choice of underwear, she clapped back by putting the panties for sale. In a matter of hours, the bids leaped to $95,650. However, before Latto could cash out on the opportunity, eBay removed the listing from its website.

According to TMZ, eBay took down Latto’s panties from the auction block due to health violations. Despite the clear demand on the market, eBay explained they aren’t in the business of selling used undergarments. They explained Latto’s listing breached their “used clothing” policy.

eBay explained they discovered the violation through AI technology, as well as health investigators. This is a common practice that allows them to uphold a high standard for used clothing. 

The entire debacle began when the “Big Energy” rapper shared photos of herself, prompting someone on Twitter to point out that she’s apparently worn the same underwear in a previous photo. After ensuring fans that she has a stash of clean underwear on deck, she put the listing up for under a dollar.

Latto has yet to respond to eBay’s decision to pull her listing. However, it was a solid marketing plan ahead of her next single. Shortly after eBay pulled her panties from their platform, she took to Instagram to tease a brand new single.

Latto’s Leopard Panties Were Removed From Ebay After The Auction Reached Close To $100K

Ever since social media has given fans more access to their favorite stars than ever, the dark side of fandom has been counterbalanced by a silver lining — artists can clap back, often in clever, hilarious, and sometimes downright profitable ways.

After a troll online called out Latto for allegedly wearing the same pair of leopard-print panties two days twice in a row, the Atlanta rapper’s response not only put the peanut gallery in its place, it also nearly netted her $100,000 when she put the underwear in question up for auction on eBay (after providing photographic evidence that like Albert Einstein, she has a drawer full of identical pairs from Target).

Unfortunately for Latto, eBay pulled the listing for violating its “used clothing policy” according to TMZ. According to the policy: “Used underwear and socks are not allowed, even if they are clean.” I guess if Latto’s really serious about profiting from her pantaloons, she’ll have to try one of the (many, many) other platforms where such things aren’t just allowed, but encouraged (seriously, there are so many).

Look, fam, no kink-shaming here… but where are y’all getting the money for this? In this economy!?

Anyway, Latto likely doesn’t need the extra income. She’ll be honored as one of Billboard‘s Women In Music in March, which will undoubtedly lead to more lucrative opportunities. She was also Billboard‘s top new artist in 2022, thanks in large part to her hit “Big Energy,” which peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 and stuck around for 51 weeks.

Latto Connects With bLAck pARty To Remix “BOMB” New Joint Single

by

The past few months have seen Latto more booked and busy than ever before. Aside from getting hate for wearing the same pair of underwear twice (and subsequently listing them for sale on eBay as a joke), the 777 artist has been in her musical bag as of late too.

Near the end of December, she officially dropped a previously leaked title, “Another Nasty Song.” Before that, she joined GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo on “FTCU” and blew audiences away alongside Chloe Bailey with “For the Night.” Today (January 31), she’s appearing on her first single of 2023 – bLAck pARty’s “BOMB” remix.

The song originally appeared on the 31-year-old’s Hummingbird album last August. It came complete with a feature from Kari Faux. Clearly, though, BP was in the mood to switch things up in the new year.

“Y’all can have the summer / Top-down in the winter with it / Might cop a crib with a pool in it / Just to have your favourite model skinny-dipping,” bLAck pARty rhymes early on.

Later in the song, Latto takes over with her braggadocious flow, riding the beat like a master.

Other popular songs to come from the Arkansas native’s last project are “Hotline” and “I Love You More Than You Know.” The latter boasts an appearance from Childish Gambino. Additionally, he worked with names like Saba, Jean Deaux, and Gwen Bunn on various other titles.

Quotable Lyrics:

Y’all can have the summer
Top-down in the winter with it
Might cop a crib with a pool in it
Just to have your favourite model skinny-dipping

Latto’s Used Cheetah Print Panties Removed From eBay Due To Policy Violation

Latto

Latto recently poked fun at a Twitter user who claimed she frequently wore the same cheetah print panties. The rapper even attempted to sell the underwear on eBay, which violated the site’s policy. Grammy-nominated artist Latto is riding the wave of a Twitter user who tried to embarrass her publicly. The account @extraathique accused Latto […]

Latto’s Used Panties Are Selling For Nearly $100,000

Over the weekend, Latto got called out for wearing similar cheetah-print panties in two separate photos. However, the 777 rapper spat this claim back at the Internet troll last night after selling a used pair on eBay.

“Can’t afford new panties?” a fan wrote with side-by-side photos of Latto. The rapper quickly hit back, sarcastically writing, “Oh no, it’s the panty police.”

The response went viral and Latto later gave fans a tour of her underwear drawer. However, she leveled up her response when she listed a used pair of panties on eBay at 99 cents. “Latto’s everyday cheetah print panties. Used. As seen on Latto multiple times,” the description read.

Immediately, the number began to skyrocket from 99 cents to nearly reaching $100,000. However, eBay later removed the listing since it violated their terms. 

Despite eBay blocking the bag, fans immediately praised Latto for flipping the situation into a positive.

One fan wrote, “The way she flipped and reversed the whole scenario. I have no choice but to Stan.”

Besides her hilarious dispute with Internet trolls, Billboard will honor the Clay County rapper at the 2023 Billboard Women In Music Awards. She will receive the Powerhouse Award. Billboard previously honored this award to Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, and Doja Cat.

Latto Listed Her Underwear On eBay To Clap Back At A Troll And Bids Approached Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars

Latto deals with a lot of trolls. When she released “Another Nasty Song,” she received a repeated complaint: “p*ssy is that only thing she raps about.” Luckily, she’s always prepared to address the issues head-on. She responded by tweeting, “I got plenty [of] songs [that] not about ‘p*ssy.’ Y’all don’t blow them up & that’s not my problem.”

This time, the situation is even more unhinged. She recently got the ridiculous accusation from a Twitter user that she “can’t afford new panties” because she wore the same pair twice. Initially, she reacted just by quote-tweeting: “Oh no, it’s the panty police,” which went instantly viral. But then she took it up a notch. Or a few notches, really.

The rapper used this as an opportunity to clap back in the funniest way possible; she listed them on eBay for 99 cents. In the caption of her Instagram post, she wrote: “Auction live on eBay since I can’t wear them twice.” The eBay listing reads: “Latto’s everyday cheetah print panties. Used. As seen on Latto multiple times.” Bids quickly rolled in, nearing hundreds of thousands of dollars before the listing was removed.

She kept it up for hours on her Instagram stories, entertaining fans with this seemingly endless bit. She even gave them a tour of her underwear drawer.

Coi Leray Had “No Clue” About Latto’s “Blick Blick” Bars

by

A massive song leak that caused Latto to trend across social media has received an official response from Coi Leray. In November, Latto was yet another artist who suffered a setback after a reported 130 songs leaked online. Nestled within was a reference track where Latto spit bars over Coi Leray and Nicki Minaj’s collaboration, “Blick Blick.”

Quickly, fans speculated on whether Latto was responsible for penning bars on the released version. In a new interview with Billboard, Leray addressed the controversy. “I had no clue that she cut that record,” she said.

After the songs leaked, Leray said that creating songs was a team effort. She emphasized the point with Billboard.

“I kinda look at it like a collab. It’s like if Gucci or Moncler wanted me on the cover wearing their stuff, and I like the stuff, then if I don’t like it, I don’t have to wear it. It’s the same thing with that song,” Coi added.

“If you play me a song and I think I could kill that s–t. I’ma businesswoman — not only am I talented, I’m also about my business. If that s–t’s a smash and I’m like, ‘All right cool, let’s do it,’ I have the option to change whatever I want in the song. I have the options to tweak or do whatever.”

Further, “Once you give me the song, you can’t tell me what to do. You could give me advice and I’ma cut it.”

The “No More Parties” rapper also addressed why the reference track had similar lyrics to the finalized version.

“Even when we did ‘Blick Blick,’ the hook was already cut and we did the verse together. That’s why the verses sound different,” said Leray. “I heard Latto’s version and the verses sound different but the hook was there.”

“A lot of great music hooks are written and I don’t know — it’s a formula. I’ve only been in the industry for four years, and now I’m at point where I feel like I’m breaking superstar status and I’m learning that formula. I’m gonna be at a point where I’m making those f–king songs for the biggest of the biggest just off the simple fact I learned the formula.”

Additionally, Leray adknowledged she learned this formula through collaborating with others. However, she made sure to add, “But if you put me in the studio with any one of these b–ches I swear they’re not seeing me in any way. They’re not coming out with no hit.”

“And I say that in the most humblest, friendliest, loving, and friendly competition way.”
