Latto once appeared on Jermaine Dupri’s show ‘The Rap Game.’ The rapper won the show and was able to put out a song with Dupri as a result. However, JD explained what happened with Latto, as many claim the producer “dropped the ball.” 

While speaking to HipHopDX, JD said, “People keep saying, ‘Jermaine, you dropped the ball on [Latto].’” He continued, “But what people don’t understand is, I put Latto’s record out. The deal was if you win on ‘The Rap Game,’ you get a single from Jermaine Dupri. So that single came out.” 

Dupri then got more candid with his answer, saying, “The problem was, was that Latto was 16 years old, and the outlets didn’t support it. And nobody was like speaking on it. Nobody talked about it. If you watched the TV show, you saw it.” He concluded, “But people didn’t really start talking about Latto until she started making more vulgar records, dressing more sexual, and being more adult.” Watch above.
