Lato, who has received a lot of criticism online due to the age gap between her parents, defended her father.
The “Big Energy” rapper sparked controversy when she posted a photo of her mother when she was 15, shortly after giving birth to her mother.
Later, a post went viral claiming that Lato’s father was 23 years old at the time.
“Lato shared a photo of herself as a baby being held by her mother, with the caption, ‘My mom is 15 and almost together with me,'” the post read.
“At the time of conception, her father was 23 and her mother was 15. Doesn’t that make her father a pedophile? Hmm, I think.
Lato fired back: “My parents are 3 years apart, haha.”

The age gap between her parents has been mentioned before.
When Latto feuded with Nicki Minaj in late 2022, the “Anaconda” rapper used it as ammunition for their Twitter feud.
Nikki seemed to prove the huge age gap between her parents, writing: “Shaving getcho stupid ass on the mic right now!!!! Explain this shit! Since you just became a rape event in the last 5 minutes People, then you must have a good explanation for this! That’s right! BETTA is a typo.
Lato later responded: “Loud and wrong… they were both high school gamblers and they still married lmao.”
The Atlanta native had earlier said of Nicki: “Always subbing…super weird grandma is married and in a relationship with a fucking rapist. You’re bullying me before I even leave! My idol.” Now you’re your hated opponent,” referring to the fact that Minaj’s brother is in prison for child rape and her husband, Kenneth Petty, was convicted of attempted rape.
The Young Money hitmaker then accused Lato of hypocrisy for working with Kodak Black and Dr. Luke, both of whom have been accused of rape.
“1. She didn’t care about rape when she begged for features,” she retorted. ” 2. Don’t care about Kodak’s past 3. Don’t care about the accusations against Dr. Luke who produces big energy 4. News flash scrape. I have never raped anyone. I have inspired millions of people. You are one of them One member, BOZO.
Nikki added: You keep letting these morons weaponize verbal rape while being dragged instead of holding them accountable for not actually caring about rape victims in real life. They have the same two flaws with me, one of which has nothing to do with me. That’s how you know when you’re dating an asshole.
