Latto doesn’t believe her “body count” lyrics are “deep” enough to warrant public discussion.
The rapper appeared on the latest episode of Complex’s 360 With Speedy, and around the 16:30 mark of the video above, host Speedy Morman questioned her frequent claims in songs about having a low body count. The subject also came up when she and her younger sister, Brooklyn, joined Tylil’s Twitch stream earlier this month.
“Be a boss. Don’t let everybody put their hand in that cookie jar, period,” the “Somebody” artist shared with Speedy.
“It’s literally not that deep,” she went on. “I’m pushing, like, be a boss. Don’t let everybody have access to you.”
Latto clarified that the message applies beyond women. “I think men should be like that too. Y’all just be slangin’ that motherfucker around,” she stated.
When questioned why women shouldn’t let men put their “hand in the cookie jar,” Latto responded, “‘Cause they’re not deserving of it.”
Regarding those with multiple sexual partners, Latto insisted she “never said that was a bad thing,” though she takes pride in her low count.
“It’s not necessarily like a number that I’m proud of, it’s more so like everybody ain’t touched this, everybody ain’t had their hands on this motherfucker,” she explained to Speedy.
Latto mentioned that her “I don’t care about your bodies” line on “Somebody” was “literally jokes” and that she’s unfazed by what Tylil has “going on.”
“I don’t even care what y’all got going on,” Latto told viewers at home.
Additionally, Latto described her mystery partner as her “first and last” body. She also made a slurping sound, which prompted Speedy to humorously wrap up the topic.
During the Twitch stream, Tylil challenged Latto about her body count lyrics, asking if she thinks listeners buy into her claims. “I don’t give a fuck if they believe me, my n***a believe me,” she responded.
