Latto doesn’t think fans should take her lyrics about body count that seriously.
The Atlanta rapper recently made an appearance on Complex’s 360 With Speedy Morman, where she was asked about the debate she spurred online about how many sexual partners a woman has, between her past lyrics and an appearance on TheTylilShow Live.

“Be a boss. Don’t let everybody put their hand in that cookie jar, period,” she said in reference to having too many sexual partners. “It’s literally not that deep. I’m pushing, like, ‘Be a boss. Don’t let everybody have access to you.’” She then added that her view on body count also applies to men. “I think men should be like that too. Y’all just be slangin’ that mother—-er around.”

Speedy then asked why she felt proud about having a low body count, after she claimed that she never said having multiple partners were a bad thing.

“It’s not necessarily like a number that I’m proud of,” Latto responded. “It’s more so, everybody ain’t touched this, everybody ain’t had their hands on this mother—-er, you feel me?”

The “body count” drama started when Latto and her younger sister Brooklyn were making a social video to promote her single “Somebody” and Latto asked Tylil if he cared how many partners his girlfriend has had. “Do you care how many bodies your girl got?” she asked before the popular streamer replied with, “Nah, hell no, that don’t got nothing to do with me” and asked why she always mentions body count in her raps and if she thinks fans believe her. “I don’t give a f— if they believe me; my n—a believe me,” she fired back.

Latto has mentioned body count on songs like “Sunday Service” and “Somebody,” where she raps, respectively, “Anyway, body count so low, I might say I’m a virgin” and “I don’t care about your bodies.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Latto was asked about her net worth reportedly being $5 million, and while she claimed that specific number is off, she also said having money isn’t as fun as some might think.

“It’s kinda boring,” she said after being asked what it feels like to be able to buy whatever she wants. “For me? I was a millionaire at 21, so you grow up fast already being in the industry at a young age, and then you get a lot of money at a young age too. I think I get the most fun spoiling everybody around me now. I spend more money on other people than I do myself. I be so stingy with my money for myself.”

In some aspects of life, being delusional isn’t typically looked at as a positive quality. But Tyler, the Creator believes delusion is a must for artists and creatives across the board.
Tyler participated in a “Tyler Talk” panel for Converse in London while on tour earlier this week, which saw him harp on the importance of having delusion when creating, and how artists need a solid team around them to align with their vision.

“To make stuff, you gotta be delusional,” he said around the 26-minute mark. “And when you’re delusional, you need people around you that trust you. Because what the f–k they gon’ trust? You say some normal stuff like, ‘The sky is blue.’ Yeah, you don’t need people to trust you to say that. I’m delusional, but I knew what I wanted to do since I was five years old.”

Tyler later recalled a girl asking him about what career he would’ve pursued if he didn’t do music, but there was never another option for the Grammy-winning artist.

“My imagination doesn’t even go that far because this is the only thing I was supposed to do,” he explained. “Like, I was legit the 12-year-old delusional kid like, ‘So I’mma get a Grammy.’ and n—-s was like, ‘Shut up, Charizard just beat Pikachu.’ So, just be delusional.”

Tyler is gearing up to reunite with Converse to launch the 1908 Program. The California native put a modern spin on the Naut-1 and the Coach Jogger silhouettes, while still maintaining authenticity to the Converse legacy.

Fans around the globe can shop the archival collection on Converse’s website come June 20, while Los Angeles natives will be able to attend the 1908 Pop-Up shop on June 12 to get a first look at Tyler’s vision.

Tyler is still trekking across the globe as part of his 2025 Chromakopia: The World Tour, which will land in Glasgow for a pair of shows this weekend.
