Although it probably wasn’t the big energy Latto was expecting when she unveiled her sophomore album’s full tracklist Monday (March 21), the rapper’s growing legion of fans took aim at Kodak Black when it was revealed he was among the project’s featured male acts.

No stranger to nabbing headlines for a history of misogynistic comments and lyrics aboard his hit songs, Black was made the center of criticism when Latto (born Alyssa Stephens) took to Instagram Monday to give fans a peek at the 14 tracks set to line her sophomore album, ‘777.’
Once they got wind of Kodak’s inclusion on the set, many immediately connected him to headline-grabbing comments Stephens made last week about a man who was causing her professional trouble because he kept making unwanted romantic advances.
“I’m clearing my album right now, and it’s been difficult to deal with these men,” she said during an interview (as we reported here). “They don’t know how to keep it business.”
Although Stephens has not confirmed or denied Black was the culprit (given there are other male features on the LP like Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Lil Durk, and more), some are pointing to his problematic statements on ‘The Breakfast Club’ last month as proof he’s the harasser.
“It depends on how y’all vibin’ and sh*t,” said Kodak about having sex with his female artists and collaborators. “Look, my female artists, this is how it is. ‘Cause I know n*ggas and sh*t like that, I gotta bust ’em. They ain’t gotta be my girlfriend but I’ma bust ’em.”
Ahead of the March 25 arrival of ‘777,’ see its full tracklist below – including the tease of a surprise guest for the ‘Big Energy’ remix (due March 28).

That’s disgusting.
Kodak black of all people. Yuck.
I wish her all the best.
She’s having a breakthrough year so congratulations to her.
Fun fact: shes signed to RCA records, the same label as normani. This is to show u RCA records is not the reason why normani’s career cant take of. Normani is just not a star. The public isnt checking for her.
and two albums before normani’s.
Tragic all I can say.
Why do y’all always have to bring another artist into stuff just to bring them down? That’s sad as hell
Is she NOT working w/ a producer who’s been accused of sexual harassment??
Why did she exposed this handsome black man? Is she scared of B** or something? Smh
This b I t c h is rapping about big d I c k energy, now she is playing victim and accusing someone trying to n** her…… nonsense…💅🏾
Excited for this album!
