Latto addresses rumors that she's a mistress.

Latto clearly has a point to prove these days, just not one that’s worth proving to the public. The rapper managed to keep her personal life under wraps. However, it's only led to further speculations surrounding who she's dating. Some feel as though she and 21 Savage have been together discreetly, though neither has publicly claimed the other. Still, a few people closest to them have suggested otherwise. Lil 21 Harold acknowledged them as a cute couple, leading to speculation that the two rappers are in a relationship.

Still, Latto and 21 Savage have blatantly denied being with each other. Over the weekend, she sparked speculation after she showed off a meal she prepared for her mystery man, while also referring to herself as a “wife.” Even though the video was intended to highlight her culinary skills, she ultimately faced a barrage of questions surrounding her relationship status with 21 Savage. She denied it, once again, but some felt the reason she hasn’t unveiled her partner’s identity is that she might be playing the role of a mistress.

Latto Clashes With Barb

Once again, Latto found herself clashing with folks on the Internet. This time, it was a Barb that infuriated her with a passive-aggressive congratulatory message surrounding her latest Billboard charting hit record “Lottery” ft. Lu Kala. The Twitter user noted that it was Latto’s first record to hit the Hot 100 in over a year, leading to the back-and-forth. “You want to talk about first like you haven’t been playing second as a mistress for 3 years,” the user wrote to Latto with a flurry of laughing emojis.

In response, Latto stated that people are obsessed with her personal life while slamming the notion of being a mistress to anyone. “I whole ass LIVE w my man Ion even CUM 2nd! Yall need to get off them tea pages & go touch grass! My privacy is driving u up a wall,” she wrote. “Mistress to who? Why they don’t see the cars, diamonds, etc? Cause yall know Im spoiled 2 DEATH! Uon know me & Uon got it figured out like AT ALL.” Check out Latto’s response above and sound off in the comments with your thoughts
