Latto real name, Alyssa Michelle Stephens, visited Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 radio station and during an interview that was released on Tuesday she was asked about her top female rappers of all time.
Her response was:
“Kim — gotta say Kim,” ….“Imma say Left Eye — rest in peace, Left Eye and shawty.”

Now, ‘shawty’ could be anybody but fan’s are convinced ‘shawty’ meant Nicki Minaj, even though she did not say NM by name.
Exactly latto. I ain’t sayin her name but imma give a bitch her 10s because I’m not a hater. https://t.co/s2t8I4Wxds

Still giving Nicki her credit for being the the best female rapper despite having personal issues with her? Latto gets 10s for me. https://t.co/pxnCVt0CbR

People on Twitter also think despite Latto and Nicki having a public spat, she should have said her name instead of referring to her as ‘shawty’.
How many people do you know that openly give people they got into it wit, dislike, or had a public argument with their props? Because majority of y’all are haters and would never.
So please stop trying to make Latto not saying that lady’s name an issue. It was for the best!

Y’all hate this, but I love it.
Imagine having your top 3 taken seriously without Nicki in it, regardless of whether you’re cool or not.
That’s how I know Latto wishes she was in the Gag City lounge. https://t.co/DBVYinHjrH— 20DaysofJune ???? (@20daysofJune) April 9, 2024

Latto it’s time you apologize to Nicki. It’s eating you up inside. You hate how everything went down. You wanna publicly rap her lyrics again. You wanna be a Barb again. I promise this will set you free. pic.twitter.com/ti2U987HjO
