Mulatto is learning what most celebrities find out once they ascend to a certain plateau in terms of fame and finances: family members, even many who are estranged or who hated on you when you had nothing, are suddenly emboldened to ask for handouts.
Mulatto let her family and fans know that she is not here for that type of energy and that her pockets are padlocked.
The rapper from Columbus, Ohio, let her nearly 1 million Twitter followers know just how she feels about parasitical people, even those with blood ties.
“Why THE F— family I don’t have a relationship w asking me for s—??? F— you #respectfully,” Latto blazed.
Big Latto, who also enjoys more than 6 million Instagram followers, continued with her stream of consciousness, adding:
This why I be on defense all the time

Latto finished the thought with her take on an age-old saying: “S— be a blessing and a curse.”
The Queen of da Souf emcee, who started out as Miss Mulatto and also goes by Big Latto, has been a tad prickly lately and in the ready-to-pounce posture in conjunction with her burgeoning national fame. The cost of increased national recognition has been enhanced scrutiny, particularly for her chosen stage name.
Detractors decry Latto’s monicker as it harkens back to slavery times when the slaveowner would force sexual relations with his Black female property, thereby creating mixed-race offspring or the Spanish word “mulattos.” As 2020 came to a close, Latto told The Shade Room she and her team are contemplating alternative nicknames.
