Latto addresses claims she photoshopped her Coachella crowd
Latto performed at Coachella on Sunday, but fans were quick to question photos she posted from the stage to her Instagram account.
Latto was one of several big names who performed at Coachella over the weekend, but the rapper took to social media on Tuesday to address accusations directed at her following some snaps she posted to Instagram.
Latto addresses claims she photoshopped her Coachella crowd
The Best New Artist Grammy nominee uploaded a series of pictures to her Instagram account from the performance.
However, some fans accused her of photoshopping the pictures in order to make the crowd appear larger than it actually was.
Latto denied the claims in her Instagram stories on Tuesday.
“Never photoshopped a crowd lmao,” the rapper wrote. “I expanded it so it would fit in my Instagram swipe without getting cut off but it was clearly f***ed up so I didn’t end up using it & just posted the wrong version by accident on Twitter babes.”
Rather than add any more fuel to the fire, Latto ended her statement by writing “Next” with a smiling emoji surrounded by hearts.
Latte was one of several big-name performers to take the stage on Sunday, along with Frank Ocean, Björk, GloRilla, Kali Uchis, Rae Sremmurd, IDK, Willow, Jackson Wang, Pi’erre Bourne, and more.
Latto adds fuel to Nicki Minaj feud?
Along with addressing the photoshop claims, Latto also thanked Saweetie, Lola Brooke and TiaCorine after they joined her onstage for live versions of ‘B**** From Da Souf (Remix)’, ‘Don’t Play Wit It’ and ‘Freaky T’.
However, it was the final song that she performed that piqued the interest of fans. Latto debuted a new track that fans believe contained lines aimed at Nicki Minaj, with who Latto had a back and forth with on Twitter last year.
The two fell out after Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl’ was left off the 2022 Grammy Awards nominations list, while Latto’s ‘Big Energy’ was included.
The song included lines like “B***hes acting like they running shit, they really ran through” and “She thought I would kiss her a**, she mustn’t have took her meds.”
She also ad-libbed “Say she got a problem, imaginary smoke/ B****, you said it’s up, then put on the floor”, before walking offstage while yelling: “P**** hoe… Let a b**** know, we tired of the subtweets this year.”
