Fans deserve clarity when artists talk openly about past drama and the possibility of reconciliation. In rap and hip hop culture, feuds often dominate headlines, but the real story is how artists manage those relationships behind the scenes. Latto’s recent comments offer insight into how bridges might be rebuilt, even in the public eye.
We’ll walk through exactly what she said on Watch What Happens Live, examine her tone and intent, and consider what this could mean for future rap alliances.
Whether you’re rooting for peace or just love drama, this is a moment worth unpacking. Let’s get into it.
Latto reflects on her fallout with Ice Spice
During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Latto was first asked about her history with Ice Spice and how they managed to patch things up. She shared:
"“Girls, you know, we just… Her team reached out to my team, and we figured it out,”"Latto
Latto explained that at first she reacted with a disapproving gesture: “[disapproving ‘hrmph’]”. Later, after bridging communication, she adjusted her stance to an approving one: “[approving ‘hrmph’].” This exchange shows her willingness to drop pride and make space for dialogue—a meaningful move in the rap world, where ego often blocks reconciliation.
Latto opens the door to making amends with Nicki Minaj
Next, the conversation turned toward Nicki Minaj. The host asked whether Latto would “work things out” with her. Latto’s answer was candid and noncommittal, but hopeful: she said she’s “open” to “rekindling with anybody.”
When Real Housewives star Gizelle Bryant commented, “We love Nicki,” Latto responded simply, “I did, too.” Her tone suggested that her feelings aren’t bitter bitterness but that things might have drifted. She left the question open, not closing the door, but not pushing it fully open either.
Context: Past feud and current rap landscape
Latto and Nicki had their own clash back in 2022, when Nicki questioned why one of Latto’s songs was classified as pop at the Grammys, while Latto was kept in rap categories. That moment led to social media barbs and tension. In recent years, they’ve mostly kept a distance.
Meanwhile, Latto has shown loyalty to Cardi B, notably joining her on the “ErrTime” remix. And now, as Nicki’s attention turns back to her feud with Cardi, Latto’s openness suggests she wants freedom from the drama.
Her remarks on Watch What Happens Live show a rapper trying to navigate respect and rivalry in hip hop. She’s not pushing too hard, but she’s also not locking doors. In the world of rap, where alliances and splits constantly shift, that might be the smartest play of all.
