Alyssa Michelle Stephens (born December 22, 1998), known professionally as Latto (formerly known as Mulatto), is an American rapper and singer from Atlanta.

The latter served as lead single for her third studio album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea (2024), which matched her previous on the Billboard 200.

The ongoing feud between the two resulted in diss tracks from both parties with insults about drug use, homosexuality, and past experiences from the show.

The song later received a remix, featuring rappers Saweetie and Trina, which was later included on Mulatto's third EP, Hit the Latto, which was released on December 12.

Latto made a cameo appearance in American rapper Cardi B's music video for her single "WAP", which was released on August 7, 2020.

Music videos for the third and fourth singles from Queen of da Souf, "On God" and "In n Out" featuring City Girls, were released in September and October 2020, respectively.

[18][19] On December 11, Latto released the extended version of Queen of da Souf, which included five new songs and spawned the single "Sex Lies", featuring American rapper Lil Baby.

[22] In March 2021, she became the first female rapper from Atlanta to have a solo record be certified gold and platinum with "B_ from da Souf" (2019) and "Muwop" (2020).

[41][42] In July 2024, footage of an officer confronting Latto for running a red light was uploading onto YouTube via bodycam, which was originally captured on September 28, 2023.

The rapper underwent a breathalyzer test as a result and explained that she committed the crime due to concerns about being chased by her fans.
