Latto Denies Claim She Requested to Sample Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" But Was Denied

Latto has denied a seemingly fake report that she asked to sample a Lil Wayne song but had her request denied.

In a tweet from an account that appeared to be posing as a legitimate music blog, it was claimed that Weezy denied the 777 rapper’s request to sample his iconic 2008 single “Lollipop.” However, Latto has suggested that she made no such request and hasn’t even made a song that samples the track.

“POV: u don’t even have a song sampling lollipop 😂😂😂😂,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. The tweet cited Hits Daily Double as the source.

The tweet comes not long after Latto publicly traded shots with Nicki Minaj, who is obviously a very close collaborator of Lil Wayne.

Their exchange centered around their hit songs “Super Freaky Girl” and “Big Energy.” Nicki took issue with her song potentially competing in pop categories at the 2023 Grammys, and insisted that Latto’s song also be moved from rap categories.

“I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY. If SFG has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy! ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll,” she tweeted.

“Damn I can’t win for losing… all these awards/noms I can’t even celebrate,” Latto responded before a private conversation ensued between the two rappers in which Minaj called Latto a “Karen.” Screenshots from that conversation were posted by Minaj and have since been deleted.
