Latto is speaking out in favor of healthy competition in the rap world.

The artist spoke with Billboard in a recent interview where she highlighted her fandom of the ongoing beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

“I ain’t going to lie: I liked it! I liked the back-and-forth,” she shared. “I thought it was healthy for the culture. It just felt nostalgic. I don’t think our generation has even seen a rivalry like that. I f—ed with it.”

The “Big Mama” emcee also noted that she thinks “people get too in it” in terms of winners and losers in rap beefs.

“I feel like it’s two n—-s that’s killing this s—, and they both so talented, and they both on they high horse flexing their talent and capabilities,” Latto added.

Drake and Lamar’s high-profile feud spanned multiple diss tracks in recent months, including the former’s “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle” and “Family Matters” songs. Likewise, Lamar released his own diss tracks like “Euphoria,” “Meet the Grahams,” “6:16 in L.A.,” “Not Like Us” and a verse on Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That.”

Within the slew of tracks, Drake took shots at Lamar, alleging domestic abuse against his longtime fiancée, Whitney Alford. He also claimed that one of the rapper’s children is not biologically his and questioned his role as an activist, among other claims.

Lamar, throughout his many diss tracks, referred to Drake as a “pedophile” and “colonizer” while simultaneously questioning his relationships with both his family and the culture at large.

To Latto, “They both still that n—-, they both still the GOAT. That s— fye for the culture, bruh,” she told Billboard in terms of the beef, which has since simmered down on Drake’s end of things.

Lamar, meanwhile, is enjoying his streak as the generally considered winner of the feud — and just released a music video for “Not Like Us” alongside DJ Mustard, who produced the track. The star also hosted a one-off concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Juneteenth, where he filled the stage with famous friends from both inside and outside of music to perform “Not Like Us” for the first time live.

Latto isn’t the only member of the rap community to speak out in favor of the beef. In fact, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Method Man expressed a similar sentiment to the “Big Energy” rapper.

“It keeps people on their toes, and the younger cats are watching,” the Wu-Tang Clan rapper, 53, told the outlet. “They’re learning that the things these guys are saying are actually their credo. And we’re watching who they really are play out in real time.”
