Latto “Belly” Reference In “Sunday Service” Music Video Debated By Fans

by

A moment in the music video for Latto’s new track “Sunday Service” that references an iconic moment from the 1998 film Belly has sparked fan debate online. Latto appears bathed in neon blue light with glowing iridescent irises. While it is a striking shot, not everyone online is impressed. Some fans argued that Latto shouldn’t be praised for a reference that has been done countless times before. JT has previously made the same reference to much less acclaim. Meanwhile, other fans argued that Latto was too light-skinned to really make use of the effect as seen in the original film.

However, of course, her diehard fanbase was there to defend the impressive shot. Along with calling it “iconic”, they argued that no one person has a monopoly on film references. Furthermore, something as iconic as Belly is going to receive countless homages, especially in hip-hop culture. Things inevitably got heated online over the issue. How do you feel about the reference? Let us know in the comments.

Latto Performs On SNL

Meanwhile, amid her new music and seemingly unintentional beef with Ice Spice, Latto has also been making the rounds on late-night TV. She made a surprise appearance on SNL last weekend, appearing alongside musical guest Jennifer Lopez. The Columbus rapper came out to perform her remix of “Can’t Get Enough” and remained on hand to join Lopez and Redman in performing “This Is Me…Now”. The track is the lead single from Lopez’s upcoming semi-biographical film of the same name.

However, the whole thing ended with a slightly awkward moment as the cast (including a cameo from GOP candidate Nikki Haley, who had appeared during the cold open) came out for the goodbyes. Episode host Ayo Edebiri appeared to turn to Lopez and then Latto, appeared to look for a hug from both Lopez and Latto only to receive none. The rap trend continues as 21 Savage was also announced as this week’s musical guest.

Did Latto Diss Nicki Minaj On ‘Sunday Service?’

by

Latto may say her new song “Sunday Service” isn’t a “diss song,” but that doesn’t mean she didn’t use the opportunity to take a few shots at foes like Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj. As with plenty of records in this lane, she keeps things vague enough to stick to just about anyone the taunts apply to, but not overt enough to dominate the track and derail fans’ ability to enjoy the boastful raps.

While promoting the track, Latto dropped cover artwork that featured several women in rap, which some fans interpreted as a call-out. However, she said the cover was merely paying homage to her peers and influences, whether she has beef with them or not. However, as she has had beef with Nicki Minaj in the past, fans were undoubtedly wondering if she reserved a few lines for the woman she previously dismissed as an “angry aunty.”

Well, if the shoe fits, wear it, and there is at least one line in Nicki’s dainty size. In the second verse, she raps, “These bitches corny, soon as monkey see, then you know monkey do / Do you rap or do you tweet? ‘Cause I can’t tell, get in the booth, bitch / Stop all that motherfuckin’ yellin’, ho / ‘Cause I ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’, ho.” Some fans have interpreted this as a shot at Nicki, who’s displayed a propensity for going on days-long Twitter rants about her enemies, but notably never actually delivered a diss track directed at Latto — although some fans stretched one particular line to make it seem she might have. Of course, Nicki’s initial attack on Latto sort of blew up in her face, so it makes sense that she’d be reluctant to do so again, preferring to instead lash out through proxy Ice Spice. We’ll see if the latest salvo changes things.

Latto’s “Sunday Service” Visual Takes Us On A Trip Through The Bronx

Whatever’s going on between Latto and Ice Spice definitely isn’t as tense as the drama between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj. However, hip-hop heads have been curious to see how the two younger women will handle the beef that’s been brewing between them for months now. While they’ve never come to blows in person, there’s been plenty of subliminal shade thrown online, and more recently in the studio too. After the redhead confirmed that her first single of 2024 is a diss aimed at Latto, the 25-year-old seems to have aimed at Spice on her “Sunday Service” song, which hit DSPs today (February 9).

Not long after the single’s debut, the former reality star shared its accompanying visual, much of which was filmed in her opp’s neighbourhood – The Bronx in New York. “Every time y’all book me with them h**s, it’s gon’ be big drama / Twenty black Suburbans, we pull up like Sunday Service,” Latto enunciates on her hook. In the following verse is when her apparent shot at Spice comes out. “These b**ches corny, soon as monkey see, then you know monkey do / Do you rap or do you tweet ’cause I can’t tell, get in the booth, b**ch,” she begins.

Latto Lights Up New Music Friday with a “Sunday Service”

“Think I’m the s**t? / Bitch, I know it, ho / Jesus walked on water, I got ice boiling though,” Latto’s clever bars continue. She tapped Go Grizzly, Pooh Beatz, and Bankroll Got It to produce for her, creating a distinctly Southern sound reminiscent of the blonde beauty’s roots.

We’re just weeks into 2024, but already it’s shaping up to be a big year for the music industry’s leading ladies. Besides “Sunday Service” from Latto, we also got Yung Miami’s “50/50 Freestyle,” in which she lashes out at podcaster DJ Akademiks for all his hateful behaviour. Check that out at the link below, and tap back in with HNHH later this weekend to stream more of our release recommendations.

Latto Denies That Her New Song “Sunday Service” Is A Diss Track

by

The beef between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has been one of the biggest stories of 2024 so far. On top of being incredibly viral, it’s translated to impressive sales numbers. Megan’s diss track “HISS” spent four straight days as the number one song on the US Spotify charts. Unsurprisingly, it rode that high to a commanding number-one debut on the Hot 100. Many online believed that Latto was aiming for a similar appeal with her new track “Sunday Service,” but now she’s refuting that.

The speculation began with a tease earlier this week where she posed in front of a picture of Ice Spice with a black bar over her eyes. That led many to speculate that the song would be a diss aimed at the “Princess Diana” rapper. So when the song itself dropped many immediately poured through it looking for anything they could interpret as a diss. Though they found a much less direct song than many were expecting, fans still tried to frame the song as her “HISS” moment. Now, Latto took to Twitter to clarify that the song isn’t actually a diss track.

Latto Opens Up On Her Intention Behind “Sunday Service”

When somebody compared Latto’s new song to Nicki’s much-maligned “Big Foot” she clapped back. In particular, she took issue with the idea that it’s a “diss track.” “Who tf ever said it was a diss??? Video at noon I’m finna go live yallllll” she said in a response tweet.

In a later Instagram live she tried to clarify things. She also cleared up fan thoughts on the album being an “homage” to other female rappers. Latto clarified that while the song itself isn’t an homage, there are scenes from the music video that are meant to be interpreted that way. What do you think of Latto’s mixed responses to her new song “Sunday Service?” Do you think her new song is a diss track after all? Let us know in the comment section below.

Did Latto Diss Ice Spice On ‘Sunday Service?’

by

After an anticipation-filled week, Latto has released the video for her new song “Sunday Service,” which fans believed to be a diss track aimed at various foes who’ve taken shots at her lately. In the lead-up to the song’s release, Latto made a trip to the Bronx, birthplace of her seeming rival Ice Spice, and released artwork depicting a number of fellow female rappers, including both up-and-coming artists and legends — and Ice was also featured.

All of this led to fans wondering whether Latto disses Ice Spice on the new song, and searching for allusions to their rivalry in its lyrics. Although the track isn’t really a diss song per se, those fans weren’t disappointed to learn that Latto does reserve a couple of lines — and even an ad-lib — for the younger rapper. She starts things off subtly, warning in the chorus, “Every time y’all book me with them hoes, it’s gon’ be big drama,” throwing in Ice’s signature ad-lib “Graaah” just to make clear which hoes to whom she is referring.

But she really squares up in verse two, directly citing Ice Spice’s recent song lashing out at her. “Think I’m the shit? Bitch, I know it, ho / Jesus walked on water, I got ice boilin’ though,” she smirks, addressing Ice’s call-out on “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” which Ice later admitted was directed at Latto. Meanwhile, in the video, Latto makes it a point to walk into a deli (another Ice Spice reference) to buy a blunt — as in, “rolling up an opp pack,” one of those internet memes that has gone mainstream. Latto claims she didn’t realize “Fart” was about her until Ice admitted it, and even says the video that set Ice off wasn’t even intentional.

Ice isn’t the only one to catch a shot from Latto on “Sunday Service”; she also appears to serve notice to Nicki Minaj with “Do you rap or do you tweet? ‘Cause I can’t tell, get in the booth / Stop all that motherf*ckin’ yellin’, ho / ‘Cause I ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’, ho.” Notably, fans think Ice Spice’s feud with Latto is merely an extension of Nicki’s, with Nicki using a more age-appropriate proxy to attack Latto since her initial arguments didn’t go over so well.

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 Puts Her Opps On Notice With Her Scorching New Single, ‘Sunday Service’

by

Latto is back with a vengeance. Tonight (February 8), the ATL rapper has shared “Sunday Service,” her scorching new track, on which, she does not hold back.

“Sunday Service” features a confident Latto, making it known she’s not the one to mess with. Over the years, she’s dealt with rumors and industry beef, and tonight, she unleashed the beast. On the song, Latto is more confident than ever, knowing she doesn’t have time for any trifling man. She also isn’t fazed by any rumored beef, and even invites a hater to put it all on the floor with her.

“Every time y’all book me with them hoes, it’s gon’ be big drama / Twenty black Suburbans, we pull up like Sunday Service / I just want a one-on-one, don’t know why she so nervous,” Latto raps.

Though Latto doesn’t address any other rappers by name (except for Lil Nas X, whom, for reasons, is the only man who would turn Latto down), the song is rumored to be a diss targeted to fellow rapper Ice Spice. In recent weeks, she was spotted filming a video for the song in The Bronx — Ice’s old neighborhood.

Latto’s “Sunday Service” Dropping Friday, Single Might Diss Ice Spice

by

January’s chaos proved that 2024 has the potential to be a wild year, and February is only furthering that theory. Last month the hip-hop world saw Nicki Minaj lash out at Megan Thee Stallion over the latter’s “HISS” diss track, and the drama from that is still unfolding. Of course, the Houston Queen of Rap broke several records on Spotify after Minaj shot back at her nemesis with “Big Foot.” Now, it’s Ice Spice and Latto who are carrying on the femcee feud baton, as the blonde beauty gears up to drop her “Sunday Service” single this week.

On Monday (February 5), the 777 artist revealed the cover art for her first solo track of the year. It sees Latto posting braless in a white tank top and dark wash jeans, golden accessories around her neck, wrist, and fingers, along with a pair of hoops in her ears. The Atlanta-based baddie’s hair was worn in a curly updo, and her eyes were blacked out with a rectangular bar. As many are pointing out online, Latto’s background is a wall of photos of other rap divas, such as Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, GloRilla, and Coi Leray, whose eyes are also blocked off in a similar fashion

“Since she wanna be in the background so bad… Latto said HERE 😂,” one person wrote, referencing a viral video where the redhead’s “Pretty Girl” visual plays behind her opp previewing new music with eyebrow-raising bars.

Ice Spice doesn’t seem too worried about Latto at this point in her career, though she and Nicki Minaj are likely fed up with the Grammy Awards after this year’s slip-up. The femcee duo was accidentally named the winner of the Best Rap Song prize, though Killer Mike took home the trophy.

Each of which has been involved in an online dustup with Latto. Given the diss-like lyrics heard in the teaser, users online believe the artwork is a subtle callout to some of these women.
