Latto locked in another accolade Tuesday (Nov. 28) when she landed on Forbes’ coveted 30 Under 30 list in the music category. Paired with the accomplishment was a brand new interview with the publication, where the “Lottery” rhymer detailed some golden business rules, tips for navigating the industry, and her absolute dream collaboration.
“For business, RiRi. RiRi,” she swiftly said when asked about who she still wanted to work with. “I just feel like she touched our generation in a whole different way. I feel like women like me who might have a little motion going on, she showed us that it’s possible for us to take it a whole different level. Music and business. RiRi, call me, girl!”
The 24-year-old talent then referenced her impressive résumé, as she already has songs with veterans like Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, and Lil Wayne. She used her existing catalog as motivation to reach for the stars, stating, “I feel like it’s so limitless. I feel like anything can happen.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Latto dished on some of her rules when it comes to handling finances and business. “Anytime I get booked for anything and any money that comes in, I have to profit at least 50 percent. You have a lot of overhead, at least for a woman doing this? Dancers, make-up, hair… Also, put them taxes aside. Put them taxes aside… Setting a standard for what you want to come home with because overhead will eat it up.”
The Queen Of Da Souf’s last full-length offering was 2022’s 777, a 14-track album with guest appearances from DJ Khaled, Kodak Black, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, 21 Savage, Nardo Wick, and Lil Durk. She has stayed active in 2023 by delivering singles like “Put It On Da Floor” and guest verses on tracks like “Seven” by Jung Kook, “UNAVAILABLE” by Davido, and more.
