Introducing a statement with “no shade” doesn’t mean it won’t be perceived as such – a consequence self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Da Souf’ Latto is learning royally thanks to response to her recent interview with Billboard.
Crowned the latest cover girl of Billboard magazine, the ‘Big Energy’ hitmaker chatted it up with the Music Bible about her big plans on everything from her forthcoming album ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘ to touring, the state of female Hip-Hop, and more.

Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, ‘Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef.'”

The quote comes after the two reportedly took shots at each other with their songs ‘Think U the Sh*t (Fart)‘ and ‘Sunday Service.’

But as far as actual whole dis records to each other, I don’t think she would even want to do that. I feel like… would it even make sense? It wouldn’t.”

Everytime there’s a headline about these 2 it’s always ScratchOff’s desperate ass looking for clout. Ice pays her literal dust and usually keeps it in the music if she’s dissin, as she should. She had 1 lil back & forth w Nicki and wanna be a bully now. Smh
Lol I get that Latto was trying to patronize Dull Doll over there but I like it when she’s in her diss mode cause Put It On Da Floor and Sunday Service are bops
Well honestly latto has nothing to gain from this “beef” besides she is a far better lyricist and performer
Mice spice target market is mostly Taylor swift/ katty Perry fans (mostly 6-13 year olds) not real hip-hop fans
All these newbies rappers are trash. I see why Missy are coming back
