latto
Latto (born Alyssa Michelle Stephens on December 9, 1998) is an American rapper and songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. She first gained national attention after winning the 2016 reality TV competition *The Rap Game*. Originally performing under the stage name “Mulatto,” she changed it to Latto in 2021 amid criticism of the term’s racial connotations. She broke through mainstream charts with the 2020 single “Bitch from da Souf,” and achieved her first Billboard Hot 100 top‑10 hit with “Big Energy” in 2022. Latto is known for confident, trap‑infused rap and has collaborated with artists such as Cardi B, Saweetie, and Lil Baby. Views Nigeria
