Latto has sparked a conversation over a viral clip from a recent interview, where she addressed why she often mentions having a low body count in her music. Her comments on the matter come just weeks after she was questioned by a Twitch streamer who was just as curious to know why a womans body count should matter. Heres what she had to say on both occasions…
In her Complex interview, released on Thursday, May 29, Latto kept it all the way real when Speedy Norman asked about the low body count references in her songs.Its not that deep, she said.
For Latto, she says its more about empowerment than anything, letting her fans know that men shouldnt have easy access to a womans body. Be a boss. Dont let everybody put their hand in that cookie jar, period, she responded. And shes not just talking to the ladies either, saying it also applies to the fellas. I think men should be like that too, she added with a laugh, Yall just be slanging that motherf***** around.
Latto made it clear shes not bragging about a number but celebrating her exclusivity. Everybody aint touched this, everybody aint had their hands on this motherf***er, she said. And while she brings it up in her songs, the 26-year-old added that shes not judging others for how they choose to get down. I dont even care what people do in their private lives, she said, keeping it classy but still firm.

Flash back to earlier this month, and Latto was already defending her stance during a spicy exchange with Twitch star Tylil. When she flipped the question and asked if he cared about a womans body count, Tylil got bold, saying, Why you always say that in your music? [] Stop saying that, bro.
Latto and her sister Brooklyn Nikole appeared shook by the remark. The ‘Big Mama’ rapper looked like she was ready to pop off at the streamer. B***h, Im gone pop my real life, she fired back, leaning into the camera to let Tylil and his Twitch viewers know shes unbothered. When he questioned her on whether she felt like the public would believe her, she replied, I dont give a f**k if they believe me. My n****a believe me.
