Latto admits to getting work done but tells young girls thinking of doing the same to “love yourself first”
Latto offers words of advice against plastic surgery.
Rapper Latto has opened up about her experience getting plastic surgery and the realities that come with getting work done.
Speaking with her co-host and sister Brooklyn Nikole on their Apple Music radio show ‘777 Radio’, the rapper spoke candidly about the work she’s had done and the advice she has for younger girls thinking of going the same route.
Latto admits to getting work done
“You know I got a little work done on my body,” Latto told her sister on Friday’s episode.
“A lot of people don’t even know that ‘cause you just look so good,” her sister chimed in.
“‘Cause there’s one thing about it, if you’re gonna do it, do it right, I’m gonna do it right. I did it right,” Latto added.
Latto says despite having had work done herself, she highly discourages her sister from following suit, an interesting stance from someone whose image has benefitted from plastic surgery.
“I’m telling you, to all the young girls listening, all the women listening right now, I’m telling you from someone who’s been there, done that. Find peace within your natural state, because you’re gonna find a flaw and another flaw, and another flaw and another flaw. Surgery, any of that stuff, is not a permanent fix,” she stressed, before adding:
“We still editing pictures, we still having debacles in the mirror.”
Plastic surgery doesn’t fix all problems
Latto feels that there’s no pleasing people either way and that whether you get work done or not, people are always going to talk. She emphasized that getting plastic surgery should only be done when you’re already confident in yourself.
“I’m a very much advocate for women in general,” she said. “Surgery, natural, whatever. However, you want to play it, just make sure that’s what you are comfortable with, but I just think surgery is so popular now.
“And I’d be lying if I said that me doing music didn’t have an influence on me. I’m constantly in the limelight, and I was so young,” she said, referring to her hit debut single ‘B—- from da Souf’ released when she was just 19.
She then referred to the bullying she faced before her surgery, where critics said she “looked like her white side”, then saying she looked “botched” after getting work done.
“Love yourself how you is, first. If you wanna tweaky-tweak, make sure it’s for you. That’s the thing I be trying to remind you of. Don’t be so gullible for the social media traps and whatever, because you never going to be good enough for the outsider’s eye.”
