Roommates, it looks like Latto and Brooklyn Nikole went in that Goyard bag for their dad, Shayne Stephens! Footage shared on social media shows the sisters spending time with Stephens on Father’s Day. Ultimately, they led him to a bow-wrapped car.
The video of Shayne Stephens with his daughters shows him holding two Louis Vuitton bags as he walks near an outdoor plaza. He had on a yellow polo shirt and jeans. Meanwhile, Latto and Brooklyn trailed behind him. Nikole had on a hot pink tracksuit, while the ‘Big Mama’ rapper rocked red sweats and a black jacket. Both sisters had their hair styled in long ponytails. A caption on one of the recap posts said, “Daddy’s Girl at [red heart emoticon].”The car itself was a matte-black Ram TRX with a giant red bow on top.
In The Shade Room’s comment section, over 700 reactions to the Father’s Day surprise poured in. Plenty of roomies dropped fire, heart-face and clapping hands emojis and sweet words commending the sisters for the custom gift.
@calixmommie commented, “He deserves it he been backing her since the rap game! ”
@_themarriedmom added, “You can tell he use to sh*t, he like another one ? Ill take it !.”
“I always felt bad for him. Idk what he did to strain their relationship but looking at the rap game he really loved and believed in his daughter and supported her dreams,” @thetaylorwatxoxo wrote.
@ceeno96 said, “IYKYK…. the dad played a MAJOR part in her career. Latto been doing this rap sh*t.”
@gorgeous_laurynnn commented, “He supported her before the rap game this is well deserved .”
“I would f**kin cry my daughter do some sh*t like that for me,” @slumgodj wrote.
“He seem like he have a good heart at end of day. So glad they figured it out ,” @ticamonae added.
“Im so glad they worked things out ,” @mo_monday_ said.
@alexislovesme commented, “This is dope! Love the color too! .”
As suggested by some of the roommates’ reactions, Latto and Shayne Stephens weren’t always on good terms. She was introduced into the industry as a father-daughter management duo. Then, in 2024, she accused her dad of stealing from her. At the time, she shared the comment on Instagram Story after reportedly reposting a video of a father and her pilot dad. She captioned the repost, “Awww. My dad steals from me and tells everyone I’m in the Illuminati.”The year before, in 2023, she told XXL that she felt regrets over mixing business and family.
“…Mixing family and business, thats, like, one of my biggest regrets. I was introduced to everyone with my dad as my manager, and now we dont even speak, so its like, I hate that,” Latto reportedly said.
It’s unclear when the daughter and father resolved their differences. However, he was present at her cheetah-inspired baby shower and even shared footage from the event that went viral.
