Latto Addresses Cardi B Apology On ‘Big Mama’ Track “Gimme Dat”
The Queen of Da South, Latto, uses her new album, Big Mama, to address fellow female rapper Cardi B regarding a past public exchange on the track “Gimme Dat.” Since the album’s release this past Friday, fans have been dissecting the lyrics to determine if the reference is a pointed diss or simply a statement of fact.
On the record, the Atlanta rapper delivers confident bars about her status, wealth, and the competitive nature of the rap industry before appearing to challenge another female artist directly. “B*tch said what? Let’s clock it,” Latto raps. “Wish a b*tch would get in that booth / I’m callin’ up PlaqueBoyMax.”
Many listeners believe the bars reference Cardi B, particularly given the pair’s complicated public history over the last two years. Fans have connected the verse to leaked audio from a previous fallout involving Nicki Minaj, in which Cardi B dismissed Ice Spice while distancing herself from Latto. Although Cardi B later issued a public apology, stating, “I f*ck with Latto HEAVY. I respect everything about her,” the new track has reignited the conversation.
The Bronx rapper had previously joked about buying Latto a designer bag as a gesture of reconciliation, leading many to believe the tension had subsided. However, with the release of Big Mama, speculation has returned. While neither artist has confirmed an active feud, the debate highlights the modern hip-hop landscape’s fascination with lyrical subtext and social media narratives. Whether “Gimme Dat” is a genuine jab or simply a reflection of the competitive spirit in rap, it has certainly captured the attention of fans.
