Latto has sparked reactions from social media after sharing the cover art for her upcoming ‘Sunday Service’ single. As The Shade Room previously reported, the song seems to have sparked a back-and-forth between her and Ice Spice.
On Monday, February 5, Latto took to social media to share a photo. The picture featured her posing in a white tank top, dark blue jeans, and gold jewelry as she wore her hair in an updo. Additionally, a black line covered both of her eyes.
Furthermore, the rapper posed in front of what appeared to be a backdrop of female rappers. Their photos also featured their eyes covered by black lines.
Some rappers featured in the backdrop included Ice Spice, Lil’ Kim, Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, Missy Elliot, Coi Leray, and more.
Latto also shared the photo with a brief caption that let viewers know the photo was cover art for her upcoming single. Additionally, Latto shared that the song would be released on Friday, February 9.
“S̶u̶n̶d̶a̶y̶ ̶S̶e̶r̶v̶i̶c̶e̶ —— F̶R̶I̶D̶A̶Y̶P̶r̶e̶-̶s̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶b̶i̶o̶ 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙,” she wrote in the photo’s caption.
Social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to share their reactions to Latto’s cover art. Given the apparent beef between the rapper and Ice Spice, some appeared confused about whether the cover art is a diss to the other rappers featured.
“No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative. It gets the people goin 😮💨 better be good”
“I don’t think the background was meant to be disrespectful lol,”
“Wait what did missy do I’m so lost 😭”
“I’m not gonna read too much into this. Missy ain’t do nothing wrong.😂”
“It’s not a diss she has her own face crossed out as well”
“It’s literally all the female rappers … the ones she cool with too so she not shading nobody 🤷🏾♀️ …”
As The Shade Room previously reported, fans began to speculate about a rift between Ice Spice and Latto after Ice Spice received a feature verse from Nicki Minaj on her single ‘Princess Diana.’ Before this, Latto and Minaj had traded insults over their 2022 Grammy nominations.
In turn, Latto released ‘Put It On Da Floor,’ seemingly taking aim at her rap rivals before pairing up with a foe of Minaj’s for the remix.
As time passed, fans speculated that Latto also took shots at Ice Spice on Offset’s single, ‘FINE AS CAN BE.’
“That n**** a munch, your booking fee, ate it for lunch,” Latto rapped, per UPROXX, seemingly referring to Ice Spice’s breakout single ‘Munch.’
Then, most recently, Ice Spice admitted to hitting back at Latto and her disses, seemingly referring to the release of her recent single, ‘Think U The S**t (Fart).
“I’m in the back of your weak a** snippet. Like, that’s why I was confused. So I was like, ‘Wait a second, that’s me?’ I’m like, ‘Okay, since we’re talking about me’ — and I dropped that; it was really just a snippet,” she said while on X spaces on Friday, February 2. “I was like, ‘This has to be fake. This is AI.’ But b*****s be bold, so I was like, ‘Oh, we’re being bold today.'”
During the discussion, Ice Spice was also asked how she felt about allegedly surpassing Latto in monthly listeners on Spotify.
“Get off the floor,” she said, seemingly referencing Latto’s prior single.
In turn, Latto appeared to respond by pulling up to Ice Spice’s stomping grounds — the Bronx, New York.
At this point, Ice Spice has yet to address Latto’s pull-up or cover art.
