The road to Latto‘s sophomore album ‘777’ has not been an easy one for her.
For, she is revealing the difficulty she had securing a feature all over an unanswered DM.
More details below…
Appearing on Big Boy TV, she said:
“I’m clearing my album right now and it’s been, like, difficult to deal with these men, you know what I’m saying? They don’t know how to keep it business. I’m just keeping 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.”
Despite the bump in the road, the ‘Big Energy’ rapper was ultimately able to secure the feature and has added it to her project.
“I love the song so much and I had to turn it in yesterday, so I didn’t really have a choice. So I was backed into a corner, like, bullied. But I wish more females would speak up on stuff. I know like the label didn’t [step up]; they say, ‘You know, don’t do that. It’s bad business,’ or whatever. Man, these folks be trying to drop nuts on female rappers, like I’m not gonna shut up about it.”
She then went on to say:
“We tolerate too much. We think like, ‘Oh well that just comes with the game, being a female rapper.’ No, it shouldn’t, though […] How they do female rappers, it’s so lame. Because I won’t respond to your DM? For real?”
Elsewhere in the interview, she speaks of the power of social media, her love life, and her ‘777’ album,’ which is set to arrive on March 25 (as we reported here).
