Rapper Latto is often criticized for mentioning her low body count in her music and on social media. Body count refers to the number of sex partners an individual has had.
While most young people on social media are proud of their high body counts, Latto is different. Her low body count is a source of pride for the 26-year-old rapper.
During a recent livestream, Latto asked streamer Tylil James if he “cared how many bodies” his girlfriend had. He said, “Nah, hell no. That don’t got nothing to do with me.”
Tylil then asked Latto, “Why you always saying that in your music? On my mother, nah. All jokes aside, stop saying that, bro.”
Tylil continued, “Why you always saying in your songs how [many] bodies you got, though? Who gives a f–k?”
Latto responded, “I said I have a LOW body count.” Tylil added “No. You always make it seem as if you could count your bodies on one hand.” Latto bragged, “I can! I can, though.”
This is my real life. Don’t be mad
Tylil said, “Why does that matter, though?” To which Latto replied, “Same reason why b*tches say, ‘F–k yo ni–a today and f–k that ni–a tomorrow.”
She continued: “It’s my music. If I go in the booth and I rap my music, b*tch I’m gonna pop my real life, in real life I got 5 (bodies).
“This is my real life, I’m not lying. I’m not lying. Don’t be mad. Don’t be mad ’cause this c–chie’s squeaky clean. Don’t be mad. Clock that. I’m famous as f–k. If I had more than that, these ni–as would be popping out the work, on God.”
It’s a prize. Everybody can’t touch this
In an interview for Complex, Speedy Mormon also asked Latto about her low body count.
Latto said, “I am proud. It’s not necessarily a number that I’m proud of. It’s more so like, everybody can’t touch this. Everybody ain’t have their hands on this motherf—er. It’s a prize. I like that for me.”
Latto is in a 5-year relationship with Atlanta rapper 21 Savage. He was nearly deported back to his native England when he was arrested by ICE in 2019.
President Trump reportedly stepped in on his behalf and prevented the deportation.
