Latto is giving fans one of her most open conversations yet.<\/p>\n
During her latest appearance on “The Breakfast Club” in support of Big Mama<\/a>, the Atlanta rapper spoke about motherhood, her relationship with 21 Savage, thoughts of retirement, rap beefs, privacy, and how much of her real life made it into the album.<\/p>\n When asked why she is now more willing to speak publicly about 21 Savage after years of privacy, Latto said life has changed. \u201cI feel like I still am private to a certain point,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut I feel like once you start reaching different milestones in life… I got a baby, I can only be so private.\u201d She added that music remains the easiest place for her to open up about love and family. \u201cI\u2019m more comfortable sharing it in the music because I\u2019m in that booth alone and I can just speak freely,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The conversation later turned to seeing 21 Savage<\/a> as a father to their daughter. When asked if she sees a different side of him with their child, she said, \u201cGod work in mysterious ways. Let me say that. Cause I feel like we both needed a girl.\u201d She also shared that he sent her clips of himself with their daughter. \u201cYeah, he been sending me videos,\u201d she told the hosts. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve been crying looking at them.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the interview, Latto clarified her recent comments about possibly retiring. Asked if having a daughter played a role, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s a part of it, for sure.\u201d She explained that the original comment came during a difficult moment and that her outlook still changes. \u201cI said that when I was not having a good day,\u201d she noted. \u201cIt changes daily.\u201d The Clayton County talent admitted that postpartum emotions played a major role in how she views her career. \u201cSome days I\u2019d be like, no, I don\u2019t want to do this no more,\u201d she expressed. \u201cAnd then some days I\u2019d be like, I love this. I\u2019m so re-inspired. Like, I want to drop another album.\u201d<\/p>\n Squashing rap tension with Cardi B and Ice Spice<\/p>\n Latto also addressed two of her most-discussed rap relationships. When asked if her \u201cGimme Dat\u201d lyric about someone offering to buy Big Mama a bag was aimed at Cardi B, she confirmed it directly. \u201cWell, yes. Yeah, it was about Cardi,\u201d she said. She further explained that the line was written after she rushed to submit a remix verse while pregnant, only to later see herself being insulted online. \u201cI\u2019m pregnant. Emotions high,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s someone I did look at as a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that Cardi later texted her, but by then, the moment passed. \u201cI\u2019m open to the conversation,\u201d Latto revealed. \u201cWhen? I don\u2019t know. ‘Cause I got a baby now. Life done kept moving.\u201d She also clarified the intent behind the lyric, saying, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t no diss. That\u2019s just what was happening in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Cardi B soon responded to the comments on Instagram<\/a>. In a lengthy message, the Bronx rapper said she \u201ctruly\u201d understood Latto\u2019s feelings, apologized publicly because \u201cthe disrespect became public,\u201d and made multiple attempts to take \u201cfull responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
