The "Lottery" hitmaker served looks for Wonderland magazine's Spring issue.

Her reign isn't letting up, as Latto is back with another stunning feature. The Georgia Peach has been on a wild ride the last few years, and things are only looking up. She's amassed several awards, including her most recent honor from Billboard's Women in Music event. The 777 hitmaker has been the talk of Hip Hop—and while some of those conversations aren't flattering, Latto doesn't let the negativity get under her skin.

At 24 years old, it's expected for Latto just to be getting her feet wet in the industry. However, she's been beasting out bars since she was a young kid, even winning Jermaine Dupri's The Rap Game reality series. After the Lifetime show ended, Latto opted out of receiving a contract with Dupri and instead went her own route. It is paying off—and continuing to do so. It's no surprise, then, that Wonderland magazine tapped the "Big Energy" star as their cover girl, and as always, Latto served one look after another.

Latto Is Still Growing As An Artist

“I’m still finding my sound," the rapper admitted to the outlet for its spring 2023 issue. "I think starting so young can be a blessing and a curse: the blessing is that I pretty much reinvent myself every few months. I feel like my music elevates as I mature as a woman.” And it is evolving, indeed. Latto is tearing up the pop culture charts with her Mariah Carey-assisted single as well as her smash hit, "Lottery."

At Billboard's Women in Music event, Latto received the Powerhouse Award. "Megan Thee Stallion won this award, Doja Cat won this award," she said. "It's crazy because my peers, I'm fans of my peers, and they're my peers. [The] Powerhouse award is not just for my team too. Teamwork makes the dream work." It was a wonderful night for all, except for rumors of a dust-up backstage.

Before Latto accepted her honor, which was introduced by Chlöe, Doechii was given the Rising Star Award. She named several other women under the Rising Star umbrella, including Nicki Minaj. When Latto took to the mic, she gave a speech similar to Doechii, but because she didn't name Minaj, people said she was shady. Latto called it a "reach" as rumors of an alleged confrontation with Doechii stormed the internet. Check out more photos from Latto's Wonderland feature above.
