Latto is one of the Hip-Hop stars who made the latest edition of the Forbes 30 under 30 list. During her feature story, she recalled The Rap Game launching her to become a household name.
“That was my first launchpad for my career,” Latto said. “But social media wouldn’t have been a thing if I wasn’t putting in that groundwork, like hustling and networking.”
Latto also states she caught “the tail-end of two generations” as she is able to adjust her brand to be fitting for TikTok.
Additional music entries in the list include Ice Spice and Steve Lacy.

Recently, Latto pointing fingers at hip-hop fans for causing a divide among the women of rap. Speaking with XXL, Latto believes stan culture drives the beef between women in rap.
“I think it really don’t be a problem until we let fans, Stans, whatever you want to call them, like the outsiders once they get in the mix. I think that’s what stirs the pot,” Latto said. “Because it’s like, we will all be fans of each other and commenting and following each other, whatever, but then once they get to comparing, they will turn us against each other, which is very weak-minded of us as female rappers.”
She added, “I think we be falling for these traps that they put on female rappers.”
To close out the month, Latto will create a all-women cypher.
