Overview
- A leaked phone call from last September that circulated online and was reported to include a voice believed to be Cardi B using profane language about Latto set off the dispute.
- Cardi B issued a public apology after the leak and posted a detailed message saying she tried to make amends privately by contacting Latto’s manager, sister, and texting Latto directly.
- Latto released Big Mama on May 29 and confirmed on The Breakfast Club on Thursday that lyrics on the track “Gimme Dat” were about Cardi while saying the lines reflected her life rather than a classic diss.
- Questions about outside authorship of Latto’s material prompted her to post handwritten lyrics for “Hostage,” a move that pushed back on speculation about other writers but left the claim unproven.
- Both artists remain publicly apart for now, with Latto saying she is open to talking but that new motherhood and timing make reconciliation uncertain and Cardi insisting she tried to repair the relationship.
