Latto is setting the record straight about one of the most talked-about songs from her new album Big Mama. During a recent interview, the rapper confirmed that her track “Gimme Dat” does reference Cardi B, but she insists the song should not be viewed as a full-fledged diss record.
The controversy stems from a leaked phone call involving Cardi B last year, where Latto’s name was mentioned during a heated rant. According to Latto, she was caught off guard by the comments because she had recently contributed to Cardi’s “ErrTime” remix and believed they had a positive relationship at the time.
On “Gimme Dat,” Latto appears to address the situation directly, referencing Cardi’s public apology and offer to buy her a luxury handbag. While many listeners interpreted the lyrics as a direct shot, Latto explained that she was simply expressing how she felt during that period of her life rather than launching a calculated attack.
The rapper also revealed that she was pregnant when she wrote the song and admitted her emotions were heightened at the time. Although she acknowledged that Cardi’s remarks left a bad taste in her mouth, Latto said she remains open to having a private conversation and potentially resolving any lingering issues.
Following Latto’s comments, Cardi B reportedly issued another public apology and explanation on social media. Despite the tension, Latto suggested that a direct conversation between the two artists would be more productive than continuing the discussion publicly.
The situation has fueled speculation about a growing rift between two of hip-hop’s biggest female stars, though Latto maintains that “Gimme Dat” was never intended to be a traditional diss track.
