“My baby was very much planned. I just don’t know if I was committed to the plan,” she humorously explained. “We looked down, and I was just like, ‘Oh!’ and there were tears, and anxiety was through the roof. But it’s what I wanted. But I was just like, ‘Wait, is this real life? Like, am I really ready?'”
Ultimately, Latto explained that her anxiety was over the lifestyle change and the impact on her career. However, she realized she needed to “do something for Alyssa.” Furthermore, she explained that it was the “biggest blessing in disguise” because she chose herself.
In Latto’s First Interview Since Giving Birth She Also Spoke On Her “Retirement” Tweet
Around the 15-minute mark, the conversation then shifted to Latto previously announcing that ‘Big Mama’ would be her retirement album. As The Shade Room previously reported, Latto shared the mesage in early May.
While speaking with Nadeska, Latto shared that the tweet was sparked by somber postpartum feelings.
“I kind of underestimated it. So yeah, that was just one of those days where I was at home and overwhelmed with the album… I was overwhelmed. I was experiencing motherhood… I was dropping my last album that I owe the label. So I was going through it that day,” Latto explained.
Ultimately, Latto explained that she’s still “going through it” and is unsure of what her final decision is.
She Also Spoke On Her Privacy
Around the twenty-two-minute mark, Latto was asked whether she would open up and share more of her personal life with the world. In turn, she explained that because she created something “so beautiful,” she would like to show it off. However, she thinks she will keep her “life” and her baby girl “private to a certain extent.”
Seemingly, as for her relationship, Latto stated:
“…With female rappers, it be: our personal life, who we f*****g, all this s**t — and I feel like, I’m too talented for that to be the forefront of my brand or my name, so I started falling back,” she stated.
The Rapper Shared That She Waited To Learn The Gender Of Her Baby
Around the 33-minute mark, Latto shared that she “wanted a girl so bad” and waited until she gave birth to learn the gender of her baby. She seemingly revealed that she was aware of her pregnancy on her 27th birthday, which was December 22, 2025. However, on that day, she decided that since she wasn’t anxious to find out her baby’s gender prematurely, she would wait out her entire pregnancy.
