Latto Reacts After Haters Call Her Out For Wearing Same Panties In Different Photos

by

Latto has obviously never been one to let the internet dull her confidence. This weekend, the 777 hitmaker reminded haters of that while expertly clearing one of them on Twitter. On Sunday (January 29), account user @extraathique shared two curvaceous photos of the rap diva on social media, accusing her of outfit repeating.

For any normal person, sporting the same look generally isn’t questionable. For one of the most well-known up-and-coming lyricists, however, there’s far more pressure to keep your wardrobe looking fresh and fierce.

Interestingly, the photos the Twitter user is comparing don’t specifically find Latto donning the same threads. Still, she does tease a sneaky look at what appears to be the same pair of cheetah-print panties in both images. Apparently, wearing the same pair more than once is a carnal celebrity sin.

“Can’t afford new panties?” they asked the fashionista in the caption. It’s worth noting that they failed to officially tag her in the mean post. On the left, the Atlanta-based starlet wears a hot pink Juicy Couture sweatsuit. She looks in the bathroom mirror while a photographer captures her bodacious behind.

In the right image, Latto opted for a Canadian tuxedo look, sporting low-rise denim jeans with flashy pocket bling and a fur-trimmed cropped jacket as she looks back at the cameraman.

While she may not have been directly mentioned, the 24-year-old still got word of the hate and didn’t hesitate to clap back at the immature account.

“Oh no, it’s the panty police,” she drily wrote, earning upwards of 90K likes since yesterday afternoon.

Many are coming to Latto’s defence in the replies. “N*ggas really finna act like they ain’t ever washed and wore the same pair of draws before,” one person clapped back.

“Bruh there’s packs of like 12 or more you can get on Amazon that all look like that,” another pointed out. “@Latto is right and wants to stay that way,” someone else chimed in. “Continue to be normal. Your true supporters respect it. Don’t go broke to keep up with social media opinions.”

Aside from the internet haters dissing her for getting sufficient wear out of her panties, Latto has also been keeping her fans entertained with new music. This past weekend, she dropped off a freestyle over SZA’s S.O.S. joint, “Smoking On My Ex Pack.”

Latto Can’t Recite Ice Spice Lyrics & Twitter Thinks She’s Being Shady

by

Latto found herself facing backlash this weekend after drawing a blank when asked to complete lyrics from Ice Spice’s “Bikini Bottom.”

During a red carpet event, Latto fielded questions for the press but it was one journalist that tested her knowledge of current hit records. A journalist from Billboard asked Latto to complete the following bars after Ice Spice raps, “How can I lose if I’m already chose?”

Latto seemed completely unaware of what the journalist was referring to. She asked for someone to help her immediately afterward.

Shortly after the clip spread across social media, people immediately felt as if Latto was being shady towards Ice Spice. A few fans noted that it feels unlikely that Latto doesn’t know the song since she’s active on TikTok. Ice Spice’s “Bikini Bottom” became one of the leading songs on the platform upon its release.

Despite how many tried to egg on the feud, others felt that it was a reach to think that Latto was trying to shade Ice Spice.

At this point, neither artist has addressed the viral clip or the controversy surrounding it.

Though the feud between the two feels forced, it comes at a convenient time in Ice Spice’s career. Last Friday, the Bronx Baddie dropped off her debut EP, Like…? including singles like “Munch (Feel U)” and “In Ha Mood.”

As for Latto, the Atlanta rapper is nearly a year removed from the release of her last project, 777. However, it appears that she’s preparing to unleash new music on her fans throughout this year. In late 2022, she locked in with GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo for their single, “FTCU,” an undoubtedly infectious single that pays tribute to Memphis. She’s yet to reveal her 2023 plans but maybe we could expect a new project from her this year.

Latto & Nicki Minaj Can’t Be Compared, Says Lil Mo

by

They’re two generations of femcees who have amassed success, so fans were disappointed to see Nicki Minaj and Latto beef on Twitter. Last year, things erupted online after Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” was pushed toward Pop categories during Grammy considerations. There was a dust-up regarding why the music icon’s single wasn’t mentioned for a Rap nod, and Minaj brought up Latto’s “Big Energy” Tom Tom Club’s 1980s sample that she believes should have been Pop.

The unraveling went down in real-time as the ladies traded jabs. In a recent interview with Cam Newton, R&B veteran Lil Mo says the two artists can’t be compared.

She began by recognizing that many women in Rap today have many similarities. Some look alike and have lyrical content that crosses over, and some occupy the same lane in the industry.

Still, said Mo, several ladies have been able to unify and collaborate.

“The camaraderie among these females nowadays, I respect that,” the singer added. “We haven’t seen that in a long time. You haven’t seen that since Queen Latifah, Monie Love, MC Lyte, and all of them was on ‘Self-Destruction.’ So now that a lot of girls are collaborating, I rock with it. I f*ck with it heavy.”

Queen Latifah and Monie Love collaborated on “Ladies First” but weren’t involved in “Self Destruction.” However, MC Lyte and Ms. Melodie were the only women rappers included in the Boogie Down Productions classic.

“Imma be real honest. You can’t compare a Latto to a Nicki, ’cause Nicki been in the game,” Lil Moe continued. “So when [Minaj] say, ‘All these b*tches is my sons,’ people like, ‘Oh, she throwin’ shots.’ No! Because before her, she bows at Lauryn Hill.”

“A lot of people come out talking heavy, but I’m like, if you ain’t been in the game at least ten years and been through a damn scandal, a death threat, or almost near-death experience?”

Latto Poses With Miley Cyrus For NYE, Jokes About Tripping During Live Performance

by

Bringing in 2023 with a bang, Latto performed her hit song “Big Energy” on “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” earlier this week. Televised live on NBC, the rapper accidentally tripped onstage during her performance before quickly recovering in front of the crowd.

Sharing a photo with Cyrus at the event, the 24-year-old rapper poked fun at the mishap by posting the clip along with other behind-the-scenes footage of the performance.

“Kicked off 2023 w THEE @mileycyrus but at the same time I also tripped on live TV,” Latto penned on Instagram after the special, playfully adding, “so Idk what the universe tryna tell me about this year.”

Hitting the stage in an emerald green bodysuit with jewels and cutouts, the “It’s Givin” rapper also wore her hair tied back into a double-braided ponytail. Offering support for her brief slip-up, a few celebrities entered Latto’s comments to help uplift her.

“Handled it with grace! Could barely notice. Definition of a star,” singer Chloe Bailey wrote under the post.

Paris Hilton, who sang “Stars Are Blind” with Sia and Cyrus at the event, commented, “That’s hot,” adding a fire emoji.

After dropping her long-awaited 777 album last year, Latto took home a BET Award for Best New Artist and also received her first Grammy nominations. With her star continuing to rise, the “Rap Game” star is doing her best to maintain her busy schedule.

In a sit-down with Flaunt Magazine last fall, she revealed about her typical day-to-day, “Like right now, boom I’m in LA, so I’m waking up doing some type of shoot. I’ll probably wake up: for me, early is 11 AM. That’s early baby, that’s early. So I’ll try to wake up a little bit before then, hit the treadmill, do a light workout, and go to the shoot. By the end of the shoot, like last night I left set at midnight.”

“So I be trying to go home, lay with my man for a little bit. Dang! Taking all my time [laughs]. I try to have a little bit of me time before I go to sleep and have to wake up early and work,” Latto continued.

Latto Brought ‘Big Energy’ In A Velvet Bodysuit To ‘Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party’

by

Latto has been riding “Big Energy,” her 777 single that peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, since its late-2021 release.

As Uproxx’s December 2021 cover star, Latto explained how she discovered she had unknowingly sampled Tom Tom Club’s “Genius Of Love” and, by extension, Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy.” She said, “I was like, ‘You know what? I ain’t even going to put that pressure on myself. I’m going to put my own taste on it, take it or leave it, whatever.’”

Nobody was thinking about Carey or Tom Tom Club when Latto took the stage in a velvet bodysuit and brought “Big Energy” to Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party in Miami, airing live on NBC and streaming on Peacock, on Saturday night, December 31.

It marked Latto’s last performance of 2022. She was busy through the back half of the year while serving as the opener on Lizzo’s Special Tour, a role she will continue to hold for the 2023 Special 2our leg.

Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party was co-hosted by Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton. They delivered a flawless medley of “Wrecking Ball” and “I Will Always Love You,” while other musical guests included David Byrne, Fletcher, Paris Hilton, Rae Sremmurd, Sia, and more. The two-hour special also revealed that Cyrus will drop her new single, “Flowers” on January 13, which happens to be Liam Hemsworth’s birthday.

Today (December 22), Latto celebrated her 24th birthday in cheeky fashion. The “Another Nasty Song” rapper took to her social channels to share some festive NSFW pictures.

In her new set of photos, she is seen dressed in snow boots, a jewelry-studded brassiere, and a matching thong, as she spends time in the snow. “Cold a** b**** I was born in December,” reads the photo set’s caption.

As one could expect, these pictures have broken the internet, as fans are quickly reacting to them.

“This is how you do a birthday shoot,” said one Twitter user.

“I give tens when tens are due,” said another fan.

The past year was a big one for Latto. Her hit single, “Big Energy,” went double platinum in the US, and its live version secured a nomination for Best Rap Performance for the 2023 Grammys. In an interview with XXL, Latto revealed the type of legacy she wants to leave behind in her years to come.

“I want you to think of me when you think of persistence. People seen me grow up on television and in the limelight. I been rapping forever and I never gave up. So many people were like, ‘Oh, you don’t have a song on the radio.’ Boom, got a song on the radio. ‘Oh, well you don’t have a song on the Billboard charts.’ Boom, got a song on the Billboard charts. ‘Well, it’s not top 40.’ Now it’s top 40. So, I’m just the person that showed you like, if you stay at it and don’t give up on yourself, it’ll happen.”
