Latto Says She Felt Pressure To Get A BBL At 21

Latto Reveals Why She Got A BBL At 21: ‘I Was Just Young & Impressionable’

In a new video making rounds online, Latto explains how she has always considered herself to be a foodie. The rapper said after she blew up, she began going out to restaurants and eating all of the places she wanted to.

Ultimately, this led to weight gain, and fans began commenting on her body. According to the 25-year-old, she became self conscious as a result of the comments, and then decided to get a BBL.

“My body was so tea. …I signed my deal when I was 21…actually I wasn’t even 21 yet…and I was just having money and living a whole new life, eating out. Ya’ll know I’m a foodie, so now I had the funds to feed this foodie in me so I gained a little weight,” Latto said.

She continued, “And everybody on the internet was calling me ‘bad-bodied’ and stuff like that, so I feel like that played a role. I started being a little insecure about my body.”

The Ohio native was obviously young and naive at the time, coupled with the comments she was getting, it explains why she decided to make the decision.

Latto also spoke about people discrediting her workout regimen due to her surgery. “Every time I post a gym picture, people be like, ‘Oh, she got a BBL.’ I’ve been so loud and clear about a BBL that I had four years ago,” she said. “When I was 21, that y’all convinced me I needed, by the way.”

“Moral of the story: I just think everybody should just stop worrying about everybody. Natural girls are winning. Surgery girls… BBL girls are winning. Do what works for you and mind your own business.”

The “Back Outside” rapper added, “Make your own decisions based on what you want to do, not what other people are telling you to do.”
