"I don’t think our generation has even seen a rivalry like that," Latto says.

It's no secret that Drake and Kendrick Lamar's viral beef left fans split. While many opted to pick a side in the explosive feud, others remained neutral and decided instead to weigh in on the overall impact of the lyrical battle itself. This includes Latto, who recently shared her take on it during an interview with Billboard. According to her, it was an impressive display of each artist's skills and was positive for hip-hop as a whole.

“I ain’t going to lie: I liked it! I liked the back-and-forth, I thought it was healthy for the culture. It just felt nostalgic. I don’t think our generation has even seen a rivalry like that, I f****d with it," she said of the battle. “I feel like it’s two n****s that’s killing this s**t and they both so talented, and they both on they high horse flexing their talent and capabilities. They both still that n****s, they both still the GOAT. That s**t fye for the culture, bruh.”

Latto's been wrapped up in a bit of a feud herself with none other than Ice Spice, though she explained during the interview that she's not taking it too seriously. According to her, it doesn't seem as though the Bronx-born performer is interested in a full-fledged beef, so she's opted to keep it light.

“If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go tit for tat with,” she claimed. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes." What do you think of Latto's take on Drake and Kendrick Lamar's viral feud? Do you agree with her or not?
