Lato’s lyrics to “Hostage” sparked a trend of hilarious crab legs on social media.
Latto jumped on the viral crab legs trend on Instagram on Tuesday (June 9), posting an AI-generated photo of herself looking stunning and showing off the crab legs superimposed on her body. In another photo, the Atlanta rapper is wrapped in a seafood boil.
Lato’s photo was a response to a viral trend from fans who posted hilarious AI images of themselves with crab legs as appendages in their daily lives. The photos are a reference to one of Latto’s Big Mama songs, “Hostage.” In the song, which features the father of her child, 21 Savage, the rap mom compares cooking to crab legs, rapping: “He wanna open these legs up like I need butter and Cajun sauce.”
On May 18, Lato confirmed that she and 21 welcomed their first child together, a daughter. The 27-year-old Rymer shared a video on IG documenting her journey to motherhood. The video features clips from her recent studio sessions, vacations and baby showers. The joyful event featured 21 Savage’s trademark knife imagery throughout the decor. Additionally, the visuals show a touching moment from a prenatal appointment, where the leader of the Slaughter Gang is assisting with an ultrasound procedure.
Latto has everyone craving crab legs and seafood soup.
