Rapper Latto shares her journey of breaking into the rap industry after winning “The Rap Game” in 2016.
In 2016, Latto, then known as Miss Mulatto, won the first season of Jermaine Dupri’s talent show at the young age of 16.
Despite being offered a recording contract with Dupri’s So So Def Recordings, Latto decided to pursue an independent career.
In an interview with Insider, Latto, who recently collaborated with Wingstop for the exclusive Latto Meal, which includes 21 wings, fries, and two dips, recalls the challenges she faced after winning the show.
“Not only did I come from a reality TV competition show, but I was also very young,” she said. “I had to overcome numerous obstacles and prove many people wrong.”
“But, you know, having haters is part of success,” she added. “If you don’t have haters, you’re not making an impact. Our goal was to prove them wrong, and we succeeded.”
Proving her critics wrong has been Latto’s greatest achievement in recent years.
Since signing with RCA Records in 2020, the 24-year-old rapper has released two successful studio albums, with her latest album “777” reaching No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart and featuring the hit song “Big Energy.”
Latto’s most recent accomplishment includes collaborating with BTS singer Jungkook on his debut solo single, “Seven.”
The song gained nearly 16 million plays on Spotify within 24 hours of its release, making history.
In regards to the collaboration, Latto expressed her disbelief and excitement, stating, “I couldn’t believe JK chose me for this record. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a hit. I was like, ‘What can I add?’ But yeah, I did my part.”
Latto had nothing but kind words for Jungkook, describing him as nice, genuine, and humble.
Although she never planned to enter the K-pop market, Latto is now eager to explore opportunities in Korea after the success of “Seven.”
“I can’t wait to go to Korea,” she said. “I’m discovering new artists and embracing the culture. Fingers crossed.”
In addition to her music ventures, Latto collaborated with Wingstop to create her own limited edition flavor, Latto’s Lemon Herb Remix.
In a press release, Latto expressed her love for Wingstop and her excitement for the new flavor, encouraging fans to try it.
