Latto trends after 130 of her songs leaked online.

She began trending Monday night (Nov. 21) after over 100 of her songs were leaked onto social media. The Georgia-raised artist replied to the leak with a tweet that read "Trending [kissy face emoji]" attached with several photos of the singer.

Fans went into a frenzy when the 130-pack leaked. There was particular excitement for the reference tracks for Coi Leray’s "Blick Blick" and BIA’s "Whole Lotta Money." It's possible that Latto was originally considered for the beats for the aforementioned songs. She may have been considered as a guest on those tracks. Or, she may have been playing around with the songs for fun.

Twitter noticed that several of the tracks featured rapper and songwriter London Jae. Fans thought Jae wrote BIA's "Whole Lotta Money" hit entirely but the Massachusetts native clarified Jae's involvement in a tweet.

"No London jae wrote the hook, I wrote the pre and verse it’s not rocket science," the rapper said.

The leak hit the timeline right fans were begging for Latto to release a song called "Nasty." She previewed on her TikTok as she twerked in a hottub. She later shared the TikTok video to Twitter writing,"Y’all making me regret scrapping these songs." The record was her rendition of Lil Ru’s "The Nasty Song."

Besides the leaking of her unreleased music and the possible tease of a new track, the rapper has been getting accolades for her impressive work this year. She was the opening performance for Lizzo's 2022 Special tour and will be joining Lizzo again with new dates coming in 2023. The rapper also received her first Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Melodic Rap Performance for the live version of "Big Energy."

Latto also performed earlier this year at WiLD 94.1 WiLD Splash where she had to jet off to LA after completing her set to win big at the Billboard Awards.

Latto (formerly known as Mulatto), came onto the rap scene in 2015 when she was the inaugural winner of the Lifetime reality series The Rap Game. Since then, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Da Souf" has made her own lane. The Georgia native released her debut album Queen of Da Souf in 2020 where hits "Muwop" featuring Gucci Mane and "B*tch From Da Souf" remix assisted by Saweetie and Trina stood out as fan favorites. In 2021, Latto received her first platinum hit and continues to link up on tracks with her peers.

In the song "The Biggest" Latto raps about fame and not letting others bully her into changing. "The Biggest" was released shortly after Latto's name change from Mullato where the rapper decided to switch up her moniker due to backlash, "Mulatto was a negative term that I was trying to make positive," the Georgia native told Billboard. "We’re gonna start positive, and I feel like that’s gonna bring that energy my way. I feel like, in a way, that could’ve been holding me back, and I don’t want to attach that to myself anymore…"


4. "Muwop" ft. Gucci Mane, 'Queen of Da Souf' (2020)

3. "Big Energy", Single, (2021)

This groovy hit is different from her previous tracks but the rapper honed into her talent and made it a hit. The Atlanta native told Essence that the song is simply about having high self-esteem and asserting courage. "It's basically just this confidence, this strong aura that no one can tell you, 'You not the s--t. You is the s--t,'" she told Essence. "It's about believing in yourself – how you walk, how you talk, just carrying yourself like the person that you believe you are." "Big Energy" is her second Billboard Hot 100 entry, following the 2019 single "B*tch From Da Souf," which peaked at #95.


2. "Go Crazy" (Remix) Chris Brown and Young Thug ft. Future, Lil Durk and Latto, Single (2021)

The original "Go Crazy" by Chris Brown Young Thug was a summer hit back in 2020 but in the upcoming year, Breezy and Slime tapped in Future, Lil Durk, and Latto on the remix. In the last line of Latto's verse following the theme of "going crazy" in the bedroom she raps, "Turn a one-night-stand into a happy home (Haha), on God." The remix didn't hit as big as the original but was still one of Latto's best guest verses to date.


1. "B*tch From Da Souf", Single (2019)

"B*tch From Da Souf" is Latto's platinum hit that made her a household name. The song was released as a single in 2019 and was later added to the Georgia native's debut studio album 'Queen of Da Souf' with a remix featuring Saweetie and Trina. In the song, she raps about haters talking behind her back and her Georgia roots. "I run it up, they busy runnin' they mouth/I'm a real a--, rich a--, b---- from the South." The song hit #95 on the Billboard Hot 100, her first Hot 100 entry.
