Latto Gets Candid About Her “Real Relationship,” Explains Why She Keeps It Private

When you reach celebrity status, little of your life remains private. In today’s digital age, famous faces can hear critiques of them on every social media platform loud and clear, which is why many of them choose to keep certain things to themselves. Specifically, romantic relationships seem to be an area of issue for many stars. Among them is Latto, who addressed how she handles this during a recent interview.

While chatting with Atlanta’s Hot 107.9, the “For the Night” collaborator broke down her decision to keep her love life out of the spotlight. “I’m smooth with it,” she said of being able to not dish about her beau to the media.

“This is gonna sound so cliche, but it’s the truth. Everything about my life is to be picked apart by social media,” Latto went on. “I gotta hear everybody’s two cents and opinions on something that don’t got nothing to do with them.”

She then assured listeners that her relationship is “real,” and “not like PR stunts.” Because of this, she’s even more serious about “[protecting] it.”

As AllHipHop notes, the rumour mill previously suggested that Latto and 21 Savage are dating. However, the Saint Laurent Don markedly denied having a celebrity girlfriend during a Clubhouse session last month. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean anything as he could simply be protecting their privacy too.

In the past, the artists have worked together on tracks like “Pull Up” and “Wheelie.” Additionally, the Ohio-born fashionista has publicly given her rumoured man his flowers on more than one occasion.

“[21 Savage] is one of the male Atlanta artists running it, and then I’m the female running it, hands down,” she braggadociously declared last March. “I think it’s just that Atlanta chemistry. I’ve opened up for 21 way back in the day. I was probably 15, 16, or something like that.”

Fans have always been curious about Latto’s relationship status. Lately, though, a particular few internet trolls have been digging through her thirst traps, and subsequently called the rap diva out for sporting the same pair of panties in two separate photos.
