Latto Defends Father Against 'Pedo' Claims After Her Mom Got Pregnant At 15: 'Parents Are 3 Years Apart'
Latto is defending her parent's teenage love after online critics suspected her dad was a "pedophile" for reportedly impregnating her mother as a young teenager.
"My mama 15yr old fast a** w me," the "Big Energy" rapper captioned a throwback photo of her teen mother holding her on Monday. A social media user reposted the photo on Instagram with the allegation that "Her dad was 23 and her Mom was 15 at the time of conception. Wouldn't that make her father a pedophile? Mhm thinks."
Latto, 25, responded how her "parents are 3 yrs apart lol," indicating that her dad was also a minor at the time of her conception.
This isn't the first time the Columbus, Ohio, born rapper defended her father after claims of a suspected age-gap with her mom. In 2022, during an online back-and-forth with Nicki Minaj, she mentioned Minaj's husband, who is a registered sex offender.
"Scratch off getcho dumb a** to the mic RIGHT NOW!!!! Explain this s**t!!!!," Minaj, 41, wrote with a retweet of a website showing Latto's parents' alleged ages. "Since you just became a rape activist in the last 5 minutes ho* YOU BETTA HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS SH*T!!!! RIGHT TF NOW!!! this BETTA be a typo."
Latto replied: "Loud & wrong again...They was both teenagers in high school bookie they still married lmao."
In other Latto news, Ice Spice seemingly clapped back at Latto amid the pair's ongoing lyrical war over the weekend.
The Bronx native, 24 performed at the Empire Polo Club when she performed a new untitled track, according to VIBE.
"B*****s be losing the plot & that's how I got to the top & NO I don't got any opps / Like why would I beef with a flop," the 24-year-old wrote in a post on X, now known as Twitter. "Like let's talk drill!! Who bigger than she?!! Who prettier too?!!!/ 250 to GET IN THE BOOTH."
