You\u2019ve been killing it across the board. What does a \u2018win\u2019 look like for Latto right now, personally and professionally<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\tI would say personally, maybe like some D\u2019USS\u00c9 Peach Lemonade, good food, go home to my man, some good music, good vibes. And then, professionally, I would say another D\u2019USS\u00c9 Peach Lemonade, good music. Yeah, I think professional and personally might be the same win.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis D\u2019USS\u00c9 campaign was super smart and playful. What made you want to reveal your \u2018mystery man\u2019 as the D\u2019USS\u00c9 bottle?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI think it\u2019s just that people are nosy, it\u2019s an internet thing. So, when D\u2019USS\u00c9 wanted to play off that, I was like, sure, why not tease the people?<\/p>\n
\n\tYou said in the teaser, \u201cit\u2019s not just anybody.\u201d What are the qualities that make someone not just anybody in your eyes, especially when it comes to dating?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI mean, I hinted on it a little bit in the teaser, so I\u2019m gonna double down on that: rich, bold, big energy, heavy. He talks heavy. Smooth. I love a smooth guy. Confident guy.<\/p>\n
\n\tDating has changed a lot, especially for someone in your position. What\u2019s your best advice for dating in 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI think I stumbled upon my person by just investing in and building myself up. Then I attracted someone who was on the same wavelength, the same frequency. Too many times, we try to chase it instead of being it ourselves.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhen you are that, it naturally attracts to you. You gotta be that first, that\u2019s step one.<\/p>\n
\n\tWe all see the memes about \u201clocking down Latto\u201d \u2014 but what does it really take to lock down a woman like you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI am a very loyal person, so I value loyalty, just having my back and being there for me. Aside from doing things for me, what he has to do is be confident.<\/p>\n
\n\tA confident man is going to respect you, respect himself and carry himself a certain way while respecting the relationship. So yeah, I\u2019d go back to the confidence thing \u2014 that\u2019s probably number one. Then loyalty.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhat\u2019s a nonnegotiable for a first date with Latto?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI would say meeting somewhere public. Baby it\u2019s 2025, and we ain\u2019t trying to be seen with each other when we don\u2019t even know each other yet. We know how quick people put two and two together. It\u2019s gotta be a private vibe, even if it\u2019s a movie or dinner.<\/p>\n
\n\tYou\u2019ve kept your relationship private for a while. How important is that privacy for you, and does it help keep things real?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tPrivacy a hundred thousand percent keeps things real. It keeps people out of your business. Evil eyes are real, people will hate and wish bad on you. I\u2019d rather have people out my business.<\/p>\n
I think that\u2019s the main thing to success in a relationship: privacy, all the time. We wanna call\u00a0our homegirl and tell her all our business or post your man on Instagram, you\u2019re just inviting too many people into the energy. At the end of the day, it\u2019s supposed to be just you two against the world.<\/p>\n
\n\tYou just dropped the \u201cChicken Grease\u201d video today, what inspired the vibe and look for that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tSugar Honey Iced Tea<\/em>\u00a0turns one [on Aug. 9], so I wanted to do a couple of things for my fans and that was one of them. It was hard to choose which video to shoot, but it\u2019s summer, I\u2019ve got big things popping right now, it\u2019s giving \u201cChicken Grease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tI wanted it to feel Southern, so we shot it in Atlanta. We also shot some while I was on vacation in Turks, we wanted fresh energy. And of course, I had to have T.I. in the video obviously.<\/p>\n
\n\tWith a new album on the horizon, what sound and message are you bringing with this next chapter?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI think the people are gonna have to wait and see that one.\u00a0Sugar Honey Iced Tea<\/em>\u00a0was my homage to my city \u2014 it was like, don\u2019t ever get it twisted, I\u2019m gonna get in that booth and rep where I\u2019m from.<\/p>\n\n\tBut this next one, I don\u2019t like giving too much away. It\u2019s definitely a new era, though. They\u2019re gonna have to be prepared.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u200aYou can\u2019t tease anything? Not one thing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI really can\u2019t \u2014 I\u2019m just going with the flow. I don\u2019t wanna prematurely speak on anything that could change. But I\u2019m recording, and I\u2019m happy.<\/p>\n
\n\tI came back from Europe on a whole different vibe. I came back from Turks on a whole different vibe. Now I\u2019m back, popping all types of shit about D\u2019USS\u00c9 in the music. It\u2019s constantly evolving, so I don\u2019t even wanna leave any Easter eggs yet.<\/p>\n
\n\tHow much does your personal experiences, relationships, wins, struggles, show up in your new music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tSo often. I\u2019m damn near in my notes all the time. Anytime something happens, I\u2019m writing it down like, okay, I gotta make a song about this, or I gotta mention this in the song.<\/p>\n
\n\tA lot of it is where I\u2019m at right now mentally, physically. Literally, I could be in France making a song, saying \u201cFrance,\u201d sipping a peach D\u2019USS\u00c9 lemonade, and I\u2019m saying it in the music. It\u2019s 100% authentic, always with me.<\/p>\n
\n\tYour visuals have always been a big part of your artistry. What\u2019s the creative vision or mood board behind this new rollout?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tAgain, I\u2019m not gonna spill too much beans,I like it to hit when it\u2019s supposed to hit. I\u2019m fine s\u2014t, so it\u2019s always gonna be some fine s\u2014t in the video.<\/p>\n
\n\tWe<\/strong>\u2018re still in an era of women in rap. But what pressure do you feel to work twice or hard as men in the genre, or is that long gone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\tI don\u2019t know if it\u2019ll ever be long gone, because women are underestimated in any work field.\u00a0But I think maybe more so now, it\u2019s like working twice as hard to get recognition or approval. But like you said, we\u2019re running s\u2014t. So really, f\u2014k recognition and approval. You see how I\u2019m coming? It\u2019s always gonna be a challenge, but we\u2019re definitely pushing the agenda otherwise.<\/p>\n
