Summary

Latto Addresses Leak

Latto said “Gimme Dat” reflects her view of the leaked recording, not a diss.
Cardi B (Belcalis Almánzar) apologized on X, saying she felt overwhelmed when the call went public and contacted Latto to assume responsibility.
Both artists were pregnant, and gave birth—Cardi to a son with Stefon Diggs and Latto to a daughter with 21 Savage.
Latto said she is focusing on motherhood and does not want to prolong issue.

History

Historical Context

After Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown’s debut albums dropped a week apart in November 1996, similar cover art sparked a rivalry that deepened in 1997 and led to cancelled collaborations and public diss tracks. Kim’s 1996 pregnancy and the feud’s media focus illustrate how personal lives have long fueled female rap battles, a pattern echoed in today’s 2024 Cardi B–Latto clash.
