<h3 style="text-align: center;">Latto Reflects On The Women Who Supported Her: &#8216;Real Recognize Real&#8217;</h3>
<p>The Atlanta-bred artist started off by reflecting on her musical beginnings as an adolescent. She eventually dropped her 2020 breakout hit, &#8220;B*tch From Da Souf.&#8221;</p>
<p>Once she began to gain widespread attention, Latto notes that she received tons of love and support from noteworthy acts like Trina, City Girls, Lizzo, SZA, Queen Latifah, and Remy Ma.</p>
<p>Regarding the support she&#8217;s received from her contemporaries, Latto cooly noted, &#8220;Real recognize real.&#8221; IKTR!</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">“I get a lot of love,” she says with an exuberant smile. “Real recognize real.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Rapper Says She&#8217;s A &#8216;Girl&#8217;s Girl&#8217; Who Wants Others To Succeed</h3>
<p>While on the subject, Latto also notes that—because she&#8217;s received so much love from fellow rappers—she wants to &#8220;utilize [her] power in uplifting others.&#8221; After all, she is &#8220;a girl&#8217;s girl.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">&#8220;My No. 1 thing has been being a girl’s girl. I utilize my power in uplifting others on my way up.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="CoVrY2ML7ex" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>In fact, she notes that she doesn&#8217;t charge &#8220;upcoming female rapper[s]&#8221; for features, as she wants to selflessly offer the same support she received.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When you see Latto do a feature with an upcoming female rapper, I don’t charge them. The label got to cover the glam, but I don&#8217;t profit off that.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However, Latto acknowledges that her journey hasn&#8217;t been entirely peachy, as she&#8217;s no stranger to public feuds, which she calls &#8220;disappointing.&#8221;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">RELATED: <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nicki-minaj-and-latto-trade-insults-after-nicki-mentioned-big-energy-in-grammys-critique/">Nicki Minaj And Latto Trade Insults After Nicki Mentioned &#8216;Big Energy&#8217; In Grammys Critique</a></h5>
<p>Despite this, Latto&#8217;s focused on persevering and pushing through any hardships that may come up throughout her career journey.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult navigating through situations like that because there&#8217;s a disconnect. I will look at myself as a fan of someone and they will view [me] in a whole different light. It&#8217;s disappointing. You just got to take it to the chin and keep pushing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Rather than focusing on the negatives, Latto&#8217;s ready to explore and embrace new content. As evidenced by a new track called &#8220;Lottery.&#8221; Additionally, she&#8217;s ready continue enjoying her role in bringing forth &#8220;the new wave of rap.&#8221; Which she&#8217;s &#8220;honored to be a part of.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The content I’m about to roll out is a whole fresh new leaf. I genuinely love to see the new wave of female rap, and I’m honored to be a part of it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
