Latto explains real reason behind Cardi B diss: “Emotions high”
Latto has gone into detail about why she dissed Cardi B on her new album.
The ‘Big Energy’ artist took shots at the Bronx rapper on ‘Gimme Dat’ from Big Mama, which was released on May 29th.
During her appearance on The Breakfast Club this week, Latto was asked about whether she dissed Cardi on her latest project.
“Well, yes, it was about Cardi,” she began. “I was at an early stage in my pregnancy, and I rushed to the studio to do this [‘ErrTime’ remix] verse for her, in time for the first week sales [of her album Am I the Drama?]. Literally two days later, I’m seeing all over the internet, I’m being called ‘p*ssy.'”
Latto went on to explain that she felt like Cardi should have personally apologised, rather than speaking online.
“I’m pregnant, emotions high … and it’s someone I deadass looked at as a friend,” she said. “Like, I understand this industry shirt first, too. But we was on a texting basis. So I feel like, ‘Yeah, you tweeted to the world, but we got each other number,’ you know? So then probably like two months later, something like that, she did text me, but by that time I’m like, ‘I’m not even thinking about that.’”
Despite Latto’s issues with Cardi, she’s not against patching things up and putting it behind them.
“I’m open to the conversation,” she admitted. “When? I don’t know ’cause I got a baby now. Life done kept moving. The people [are] just now hearing that song, but like, I made that song when that was a topic in my life. It wasn’t no diss, that’s just what was happening in my life. Like, you talking about buying Big Mama a bag? I don’t need no damn bag.”
Cardi called Latto a “p*ssy” in a leaked call, and later apologised by offering to buy her a bag.
In response, Latto rapped, “Bitch said what? Let’s clock it/ Really got a Hermès store in my closet/ Talkin’ ’bout buyin’ big mama a bag like my n*gga ain’t already bought it/ Like my n*gga ain’t comin’ off racks/ Big bank over here, big facts/ Wish a bitch would get in that booth/ I’m callin’ up PlaqueBoyMax.”
