Latto is no longer ducking questions about her relationship with 21 Savage — in fact, she’s embracing it loud and proud.
The “Big Mama” rapper was spotted out in New York City on Monday, where she chopped it up with TMZ Hip Hop and gave fans one of her most direct comments yet about the longtime romance rumors surrounding her and 21.
During the quick street interview, Latto seemed to be in great spirits as she talked about spending time in NYC and joked that she couldn’t wait to dive into all the city’s famous food spots. But according to her, dining in the Big Apple is even better these days because she’s doing it alongside her baby — 21 Savage.
When asked whether she’s grown tired of years of speculation and internet detectives constantly trying to prove they’re together, Latto made it clear she isn’t bothered at all. Instead of shutting the rumors down, she appeared completely comfortable speaking on their relationship and even referred to 21 as her “husband,” instantly sending fans into a frenzy online.
The moment marked a major shift for the pair, who’ve spent years keeping their relationship as private as possible despite nonstop fan theories and viral sightings.
Latto and 21 Savage have been romantically linked for several years, though neither of them ever fully confirmed things publicly. Still, fans have pieced together clues for a long time — from matching vacation posts and suspiciously similar backgrounds in photos, to subtle references in interviews and lyrics.
Even while keeping their personal lives lowkey, both artists continued dominating their careers individually. Latto scored major hits, platinum certifications and high-profile collaborations, including work with Drake, while 21 Savage solidified himself as one of rap’s biggest names with chart success of his own.
Last summer, rumors surrounding the couple exploded again after blurry photos surfaced online allegedly showing Latto and 21 together on a tropical getaway. Local workers at the resort reportedly confirmed seeing both rappers there, adding even more fuel to the speculation.
But now, it seems neither of them is too interested in hiding anymore.
Latto’s latest comments suggest the couple is finally comfortable letting the world see a little more of their relationship — and judging by the energy she gave during the interview, she’s perfectly fine with fans catching them together out in public.
After years of secrecy, cryptic hints and internet investigations, the message now seems pretty clear:
Issa couple.
