Latto is getting vulnerable and baring it all (literally) in a new cover story with Cosmopolitan. For her cover, Latto wore a small silver breastplate. In another photo, she was pictured in nothing but a simple black undergarment and high leather boots. The “Big Energy” rapper got candid about many parts of her life, sharing details about her family, dating, music and plastic surgery.
Latto has had a meteoric rise since scoring a hit with “Big Energy”. The rising star has landed a co-sign and feature from Mariah Carey, performed at Coachella, earned two Grammy nominations and recently collaborated with Cardi B on the remix of her hit song “Put It On Da Floor.” The remix reached No. 13 on the Billboard charts.
On Mental Health and Self-Care
In her interview, Latto shared that prior to getting famous, the idea of mental health wasn’t something she seriously acknowledged.
“It’s not that I didn’t believe in it, it just had never crossed my mind,” she admitted. “But being in the limelight, I’m understanding the importance of mental health, me-time, and self-care.”
Latto revealed that massages, which she gets as often as twice a week, are her best way of coping with anxiety and stress. Latto also got candid about undergoing plastic surgery.
“I got a BBL in 2020. I also got 360 lipo. That’s on my stomach, back, sides, and whole torso,” she revealed.
Taking Care of Family
Latto also talked about her family, specifically her mom and sister Brooklyn Nicole being her safe space.
“I really don’t know what I would do without my mom and my sister. That’s probably my biggest fear—not having them with me,” she shared.
She talked about finding joy in taking care of her family without feeling resentful. According to her, “I don’t let them pay for nothing. I have to tell them to take my money.”
New Ventures
When asked about her plans for the future, Latto shared that her aim is to venture into other creative grounds, such as acting. The rapper also talks about her love for motherhood and her aspirations towards it. “Let me tell you, I think moms are superheroes. Man, I literally idolize motherhood,” she said. And when talking about her legacy, the Clayton County native shared that she would love to be remembered for her acts of service and generosity. In her own words, “It’s going to sound so corny and cliché, but it’s like I only get fulfilled when I do stuff for other people.”
