26-Year-Old Rapper Latto Admitted That She Finds Being Rich 'Boring' Since Becoming A Millionaire At 21, And It's Sparked A Conversation About How Celebs Use Their Wealth
The 26-year-old, formerly known as Mulatto, found fame nearly a decade ago after winning the first season of Lifetime's The Rap Game. In 2020, her single 'B*tch From Da Souf' went super viral, and she's since collaborated with a range of A-Listers.
While noting that she's proud of her financial success, Latto admitted that she finds being rich 'kinda boring' after she was asked what it feels like to be able to buy whatever she wants.
'It's kinda boring,' she said. 'I was a millionaire at 21. So it's like, you grow up fast, already being in the industry at a young age and then when you have a lot of money at a young age too.'

'I think I get the most 'fun' spoiling everybody around me now. I spend more money on other people than I do myself. I be so stingy with my money for myself,' she continued.
'It's boring. Money is not…I don't think that's what everybody should be chasing. It's fun, don't get me wrong,' she said before adding that she thinks people should be chasing 'true happiness.'
'The average person don't have a lot of money. I think we chase it, like, OK I gotta get this money. Then when you get this money, it's like, Damn. Now what? And I don't even have a billion yet, you know,' Latto added.

The rapper noted that when she earned her first million dollars, she 'went crazy' with her spending, buying herself a Bentley, chains, and more. However, she noted that 'it just got old fast.'
And when it was suggested that she might have had a 'different appreciation' for money if she'd acquired her wealth later in life, Latto agreed. 'Obviously it has its pros, but I don't know if it's the best thing for a 21 year old to be seeing that much money that fast. Like, it kinda takes away life's experiences,' she shared.
Latto's candid comments have since picked up steam online, and while some X users noted that they understand her sentiment, others wound up debating how celebrities use their wealth.
'girl boo…create a scholarship program? job program for homeless ppl? SOMETHING,' one person wrote in response to Latto's remarks. 'If you consistently gave back to the community then there would always be a reason to chase the money, no?' another person said.
'theres people around the same age who can't even survive on a daily basis and you're complaining about having too much fucking money,' one person said. 'I don't like anyone who complains about having money, some people are living paycheck to paycheck,' said another.
'first world problems. bring back READING THE ROOM abilities for celebrities,' someone wrote, while one more user added, 'ppl with money shouldn't be complaining about having money.'

Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun: Shangri-La ex-chef sells smoky wok-flavoured chai poh hor fun in Chinatown
I've had seafood hor fun, san lou hor fun, Ipoh hor fun and the famous beef hor fun in Geylang. Just when I thought I'd tried it all, the discovery of chai poh hor fun left me totally flabbergasted. It's sold at this hawker stall called Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun located at Chinatown Complex Food Centre. 'Wah sian.' I thought to myself as I was making my way to the food centre on a Saturday morning. Half awake and leaving home without my perk-me-up coffee fix, I was dreading visiting the stall's location as it feels like a maze around the 260 stalls. As I approached the bustling hawker centre, I was surprised that Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun was the very first stall that caught my eye (how lucky). With its eye-catching yellow signboard which lifted my spirits, I proceeded to order their signature dish. The stall owner, Chef Ng, used to be a chef at several well-known hotels such as Shangri-La Singapore, Amara Hotel and Sheraton Tower's Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant. Before moving to this current location in Chinatown, he owned a hawker stall at Empress Road Market & Food Centre selling a more extensive version of his current menu. As I patiently waited for my food, I watched as the chef heated up an empty wok and threw in a plateful of hor fun which was arranged in a circular shape. He pressed it down with his spatula for a while before adding in some ingredients from a small metal dish. He proceeded to reach out for a bowl which contained beaten eggs, and expertly poured it over the charred ingredient-laden hor fun. 'Swish swish swish' the calming sounds from the intense force of the fire below the wok resonated across the stall. Voila! After a mini showcase of Mr Ng expertly flipping the entire omelette-looking hor fun on its other side, it was finally ready! What I tried at Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun There are two kinds of hor fun available here; the Oyster Preserved Veg (S$7) and Preserved Veg (S$6.50). I ordered the latter which came looking like a huge Chinese-style omelette which you'll usually spot at a communal family-style dinner at home. It was served with a side of green chillies and sambal. With the help of my disposable chopsticks and spoon, I pried open the slightly-charred surface of the 'omelette'. It uncovered gleaming strips of ivory-coloured hor fun with peeled shrimps and green bits of spring onion. The smoky whiffs of wok hei hit my nostrils and taste buds instantly as I proceeded to try the flat noodles first. 'How could something so simple taste so good?' I thought to myself as I continued to savour every mouthful of hor fun ladened with a generous supply of egg. With each bite of the dish, the slightly salty and sweet notes coming from the chai poh bits hit you gracefully towards the end. Fa La Seafood: Zi char spot with over 115 dishes like chai poh hor fun from $4 As the hawker centre was packed, I was sitting right in front of the stall. Chef Ng must have noticed me snapping shots of his dishes with my portable light and all, and came to sit next to me. 'I used to add pork lard to this dish but decided to remove it as many customers found it too rich,' he explained. The strange thing was that the hor fun was already flavourful on its own without the need of using pork lard (which usually is my favourite). The accompanying shrimps were plump, and did not make my sensitive tongue itch (an accurate indicator of the freshness of seafood for me). I tasted hints of dried shrimp in the sambal, but I wished it was slightly oilier and wetter, which would have enhanced the whole eating experience. I moved on to the Prawn Paste Chicken (S$10.50) which came with four pieces of mid-wings and four drumsticks, together with a mini dish of Thai sweet chilli sauce. Chef Ng managed to catch the perfect timing and technique in frying chicken wings. The surface was nice and crispy while maintaining the moistness of the meat underneath. This would be perfect as regular chicken wings, but a letdown if they were meant to be shrimp paste-flavoured. felt that the prawn paste marination was a little unbalanced— it was flavourful at some spots and bland at other parts— it would've been perfect otherwise. Dipping the chicken wings into the Thai chilli sauce was satisfyingly good. Sweet and slightly tangy, it enhanced the eating experience of the wings. You can never go wrong with this wonderful Thai creation which goes well with almost anything! Final Thoughts Dining at Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun taught me that good food doesn't always have to contain premium ingredients to taste good. If the chef has a good technique, he can create wonderful dishes even from the simplest of ingredients. Looks like a hor fun lover like me now has another spot to enjoy a brand new kind of flat noodle dish (which I've discovered on my trip here), and I can't wait to return! Expected damage: S$6.50 – S$17 per pax Hin Fried Hor Fun: Queue-worthy smoky hor fun & mui fan with to-die-for gravy The post Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun: Shangri-La ex-chef sells smoky wok-flavoured chai poh hor fun in Chinatown appeared first on

H-E-B hype grows as North Texas welcomes more stores
They call it the H-E-B hype — and now, North Texas is getting more of a taste. The Texas-born grocery giant is rolling out more stores across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. But it's not just about what's on the shelves that has made H-E-B so popular with Texans. It's making its mark with something money can't buy: Heart. H-E-B has become known for its large stores, loyal employees and customers, and the kind of excitement that inspires people to line up at 4 a.m. to be among the first inside a new location. To understand the hype, CBS News Texas spoke with Juan-Carlos Ruck, executive vice president of H-E-B's North West Food Drug Retail Division. "So between prices, freshness, and customer service, and this idea of great culture," Ruck said, "You can buy grapes anywhere or apples anywhere, but go ahead and find brisket queso the way we make brisket queso or salsa the way we make it." H-E-B's roots are as Texan as its recipes. In 1905, Florence Thornton Butt opened a one-room grocery store in Kerrville with a $60 loan. When deadly floods recently hit that same community, H-E-B responded quickly. "By now it's just instinct, let's go help people," Ruck said. "I'll be honest, if it had been another town miles away, it wouldn't have been the same. Our trucks would have been on the road." Ruck said H-E-B has responded to hurricanes and other disasters, but this tragedy hit close to home. "Here in DFW, I had a partner whose family passed away, and he was a partner from my Odessa store," Ruck said. "What we found and what we realized was that we had people impacted across H-E-B land, and we paid for funerals, we gave food to the families." The company donated $5 million to flood relief efforts, with $2 million going directly to Kerrville, the town where H-E-B began. "When disaster happens, we don't just write an email and ask for a budget and how much we can spend," Ruck said. "We just go act and know that you're doing the right thing." That same commitment to service is behind H-E-B's growth. The company now operates more than 430 stores across Texas and Mexico. Over the last decade, it has planted roots in North Texas, with 14 stores open across DFW—including a new location in Prosper that opened this week. "It's not every day you look up to an area of the state and know 8 million people are waiting for an H-E-B," Ruck said. "So it's a nice business opportunity." Seven more stores are on the way, with land already purchased in Dallas and Sherman. As for expanding outside the state, Ruck said it's not likely anytime soon. "You know that's the million-dollar question," he said. "Here's what I'll say—it took us 120 years just to get in DFW. It might take us quite a bit of time to handle the growth here and elsewhere, so you don't have to worry about any betrayal."
