Latto recently made headlines after she revealed one of the reasons it was hard to finalize her upcoming 777 album. According to the Atlanta-raised rapper, a male artist wanted sex in exchange for a guest feature.
“I’m clearing my album right now and it’s been difficult to deal with these men,” said Latto on the Big Boy’s Neighborhood radio show. “I’m just keeping it 100. It’s a feature on my album that it was difficult to clear, and they like trying to drop their nuts on me because I won’t respond to a DM.”
The 777 album creator went on to say she felt “bullied.” She also accused her label of not stepping up to help her in the situation. The RCA recording artist stated, “They say, ‘You know, don’t do that. It’s bad business.’ Man, these folks be trying to drop nuts on female rappers. I’m not gonna shut up about it.”
Kodak Black On Collaborating With Female Artists: “I Gotta Bust ‘Em”
Fans began speculating which unnamed male rapper Latto was speaking about in the interview. Kodak Black became a suspect, particularly because the Florida rhymer previously said he has to “bust” any female rapper he works with on music. Plus, a female victim accused Kodak of sexual assault in the past.
However, Kodak Black took to Twitter to shut down the rumors. He tweeted, “That Mulatto Girl IS NOT Talkin Bout Me Homie. 🤣 I See Y’all Steady Reachin Lol… Shawty Ain’t Even Say A N#### Name On Dat S###. Ion Know Why Tf Y’all Tryna Make A N#### Wear Dat Jacket. I’m Too Fly Fa Dat S### Homie.”
