Here’s What Happened Between Latto & Fan

A video going around on social media shows the ‘Brokey’ rapper asking a security guard to check a fan’s ID. Apparently, the person had claimed it was their birthday. So, Latto wanted the evidence to back it up. “Check her ID, boss man. Can you check his ID for me? If it ain’t your birthday, you f**ked it up for everybody,” she warned. When the birthday didn’t match the date, she told the audience: “I was trying to pay rent,” she said as the DJ played ‘Big Mama.’

Rapper Previously Blessed A Waffle House Employee

Last month, Yadira Ramirez got a chance to kick it in the studio with Big Mama, film some content, and take home $10,000 dollars. She had been fired from Waffle House for posting a video of her and her co-workers doing the ‘Brokey’ challenge at work. Earlier in the month, Latto had challenged her fans to film their 9-5 for a cash prize.

Within the week that Waffle House let Yadira go, the rapper had her turnt up and paid! To date, their TikTok video has over 2.5 million views, but none of her other videos since have revealed if she has a new job yet. Watch the video she and Big Mama filmed together below.
