Latto is expressing to her fans about her decision to have a BBL surgery at 21 years old.
Latto Revealed Her Decision To Undergo BBL Surgery
She recently spoke with fans about her decision to go under the knife, according to Complex. The rapper appears to have opened up about the topic via a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.
The video shows Latto responding to a question: “Why did you get a bbl?” I am just curious about that.
She explained that she made the decision after signing her record deal with RCA at the age of 21.
“My body was so tea. I gained a little weight ’cause I signed my deal when I was 21 — when I had just turned 21. And I was just having money and living a whole new life, eating out,” she told fans. “Y’all know I’m a foodie, so now I had the funds to, like, feed this foodie in me and stuff, so I gained a little weight.”
Latto shared that “everybody on the internet” called her “bad-bodied.”
“And everybody on the internet was calling me ‘bad-bodied’ and stuff, so I feel like that played a role,” she said. “I started being a little insecure about my body.”
She was young and impressionable, according to her.
“So yeah, to answer the question, I guess that’s kind of why, but looking back, like, b***h, I didn’t need that,” she concluded.

Latto Went On To Open Up About The Criticism That Continued
Latto’s candid discussion with fans didn’t end there, according to Complex. She explained that she still receives negative comments about her BBL surgery.
“Every time I post a gym picture, people be like, ‘Oh, she got a BBL,’ she said. “I’ve been so loud and clear about a BBL that I had four years ago. When I was 21, [the BBL] that y’all convinced me I needed, by the way.”
VIBE : Latto maintained that despite her BBL, “this” is all her.
“B*****s be on their third, fourth round by now. I got one BBL four years ago,” she reiterated. “This is all me now, know that. I get my a** up and go to the gym!”
Latto stated that she feels everyone should stop worrying about the next person after addressing the topic.
“Moral of the story, I just think everybody should just stop worrying about everybody,” she explained, per VIBE. “Natural girls are winning. Surgery girls… BBL girls are winning. Do what works for you and mind your own business. Make your own decisions based on what you want to do, not what other people are telling you to do.”
Latto Has Opened Up About Her Surgical Procedures A Few Times
Previously, Latto revealed that she underwent plastic surgery in April 2023. She hosted an episode of her Apple Music radio show, ‘777,’ at the time. Furthermore, her younger sister, Brooklyn Nikole, had also joined her as a guest.
Latto got a little work done during the episode. Nikole countered that many people wouldn’t notice because she looks “so good.”
“Because a b***h be looking natural,” Latto replied. “Because — this one thing about it — if you going to do it, do it right. I’m going to do it right. I did it right…”
Despite her Honesty, the Latto pinned a message for all the “young girls” and women listening.
“…I’m telling you, to all the young girls listening, all the women listening right now. I’m telling you from someone who’s been there, done it — find peace within your natural state,” she said. “Because you’re going to find a flaw and another flaw and another flaw and another flaw. Surgery, any of that stuff is not a permanent fix.”
The rapper revealed in June that year that she had also undergone 360 liposuction, revealing the upkeep both procedures require.
“I got a BBL in 2020. I also got 360 lipo. That’s on my stomach, back, sides, and whole torso,” she explained. “But then you’ve got to maintain it. So I just hired a trainer… If you look on my Instagram, you’ll see I’ve always worked out — before and after the surgery. But I will leave early or not push myself as hard. Having a trainer holds you accountable.”
