Due to the racially and culturally offensive history of her stage name, Alyssa Stephens – once known as “Mulatto” – now goes by just Latto, an reintroduction she references in the new song ‘The Biggest.’
Dropping some fiery bars over a beat produced by Supah Mario, Big Latto talks big sh*t about the name change, her come up, and more.
“I went from the favorite to the most hated / How a b*tch overpaid but still underrated? / Don’t want no sympathy, just know I changed / I’ll be damned if the name the reason I don’t make it . It contradicted for what I stand for / The backlash ain’t what I planned for / Now I know better, so I’m movin’ better,” she raps on the soul baring cut.
Ahead of the premiere of its official music video on May 21 at 9am, hear ‘Biggest’ inside:
She needed an entire new name. She may as well have kept the full name if she is just shortening it. I can tell she didn’t have good people around her then or now.
She didn’t need to do anything for these hateful, bitter fools.
Her name is still racial slur…. She need to change it to something different because it still bad
She can’t think of anything else. She need writers to help her create a stage name. These women are fake beauty & no brains but they sure know how to give brain to stay booked chile.
I like Latto but for her to be saying rap b****** ain’t talking bout s*** she says the same hook like 6 times in a 2 min song disappointing
If “latto” is short for “mulatto” then I don’t see how the so called name change actually changes anything.
How about Coffee Coolatta?
My favorite drink from Dunkin Donuts.
I really should let this girl grow up but I can’t..she will always be that fast, smart talking little girl from the Jermaine Dupri show to me.
She is someone who believes mixed race is some sorta badge of honor. I mean why else would you choose such a stupid stage name? Mullato, Lightskin Keisha?
Weird a/s/s heaux.
