Latto responds to accusations of copying Ice Spice in latest rap feud
4 min readIn an online posting, Latto recently denied copying Ice Spice, a rising star Bronx rapper. Although the Columbus, Ohio native has engaged in a fair amount of beef with the ladies of rap, Latto claimed fans are stirring up trouble for the rapper. When Latto failed to recognize the lyrics to Ice Spice’s hit single “Bikini Bottom” in January, the drama returned last week (Mar. 17) after Ice Spice tweeted: bitches ain’t taking shit from me but notes. In between promos for her new single, Latto took to Twitter with a message of her own.
PUSSC ain’t taking nuns! Latto didn’t directly address Ice Spice in her comment, but fans interpreted it as a clap back. Following some digging in the files, some social media sleuths concluded that the RCA artist copied the “Munch” rapper. As well, Latto claims she was arrested at the airport for carrying a loaded gun in her Birkin bag. Her revelation first came to light through her verse on Chicago drill star Mello Buckzz’s recent song, “Boom, Pt. 2,” In which she recounts being locked up in the airport due to forgetting her gun. The tidbit naturally raised more than a few eyebrows online.

As Fans Stir Up Beef With Ice Spice, Latto Says “Leave Me Alone”
In response to accusations that she is copying Ice Spice, Latto told fans to leave her alone. After Ice Spice fans accused her online of copying the rising star Bronx rapper, Latto is defending herself. Latto has gotten into her fair share of beef with ladies of rap, but she claims fans are stirring the pot to create a conflict with Ice Spice. When Latto failed to recognize the lyrics to Ice Spice’s hit single “Bikini Bottom” in January, she was accused of shading her. There was more drama last week (Mar. 17) after Ice Spice tweeted, This B###### ain’t gonna take s### from me, but notes. Meanwhile, Latto took to Twitter to promote her new song. B###### PUSSC doesn’t take nuns!!! She wrote. Ice Spice isn’t the intended target of Latto’s comment, but fans interpreted it that way, claiming it was a clap back. The RCA artist copies the “Munch” rapper, according to some social media sleuths. The so-called receipts were gathered in one Twitter thread. There are photos of the women posing similarly with the conclusion that Latto is obsessed with Ice Spice. Tuesday evening, Latto reshared a post on Instagram story denying she copied the pose Ice Spice used on the cover of Like…? EP. In December 2020, she shared an image of Latto in the same bent-over position. I don’t like how you take my tweets and alter them to fit your weak-ass narratives, she tweeted shortly after.

For posting the December pic on IG, she refuted a claim that she was “creating the narrative.” Let me clarify every time someone accuses me of copying them. Nun mo nun less., she replied before adding “Leave Me Alone” to a trio of images. At LAX, Latto was arrested for carrying a loaded gun in her Birkin bag. She revealed this in her verse on Chicago drill star Mello Buckzz’s latest song, “Boom, Pt. 2,” In which she discusses forgetting her gun and being locked up in an airport. Naturally, the tidbit raised more than a few eyebrows online. Following a fan tweet featuring the lyrics, the “Big Energy” rapper confirmed it on Twitter which led to another person asking for more information. After Latto got the chance to respond, she made a pretty wild anecdote about a bizarre incident that occurred at LAX International Airport, where she was supposed to catch an $85,000 private jet. She wrote, “I went to LAX with a loaded Glock 17 in my Birk,” adding that she was locked & let out within a few hours lmaoo, so she managed to get to her show on time. In spite of not specifying when exactly this happened, the Grammy nominee told critics accusing her of lying that my rap doesn’t have caps. In spite of this, some people still insist that the story was made up after seeing the “Lottery” artist’s tweet.
