Jason Lee refused to remove the post after he was offered money by Latto's team.

Latto still has fans speculating who her “mystery man” is. Over the past few months, she’s become a bit more open about her relationship status, though she hasn’t divulged information regarding the man that she’s seeing. However, fans believe that it could be none other than 21 Savage. The two haven’t necessarily entertained these rumors but there have been a number of hints that they’re dating. One piece of information, specifically, surrounds the supposed tattoo of 21 Savage’s government name behind her ear.

Hollywood Unlocked broke the news before it spread across the internet like wildfire. However, Latto’s team reportedly tried to get Jason Lee to remove the post. During an interview with Complex, Lee said her team offered him money to take down the photo, which he ultimately declined. “I guess we were the first to post it, but then everybody else had posted it. So now it’s out,” he said. “So I said, ‘No, we gotta keep it up.’ They call back and asked if they could pay to take it down.”

Jason Lee Refuses Latto’s Request

At the end of the day, Jason Lee said that he wasn’t going to compromise his integrity for a bag, especially since he wasn’t sure if Latto personally made the request. “Now, I don’t know that Latto asked that, but I’m like, ‘You think you can actually give me a check to tear away at my credibility for you?’ So I was a little taken aback by that. So we ended up not taking it down,” he explained to the publication. He also made it clear that he initially thought it was a fan reaching out to him before realizing that it was possibly Latto’s publicist. 

Still, Lee attempted to open up a dialogue with Latto about the post, though it’s been crickets ever since. “I don’t know if she was mad at me, I don’t know if it’s because 21 Savage was allegedly married because he wants to be in the country. I don’t know the politics of that because we don’t talk about that," he added. "But I love Latto.”  Check out the clip above.
