13-Year-Old Latto Flexes Her Rap Skills
Fans are currently wondering if Latto herself is actually engaged in any number of possible beefs with various female rappers. Last month, Nicki Minaj released her new album Pink Friday 2. While the album contained some more direct shots at other rappers, fans also think they spotted a Latto diss among the lyrics. That would make sense as fans are still trying to unravel whether or not one of Nicki's biggest allies Ice Spice has real beef with the "Big Energy" rapper either. That speculation was re-sparked recently when Spice appeared in the background of one of her recent TikToks.
Last week, Latto also played fans a segment of some new music. While some were focused on her appearance others broke down the snippet she played. Among the lyrics is what some believe is a shot at Cardi B. What do you think of the newly unearthed video of Latto performing at 13 years old? Let us know in the comment section below.
