Rapper Latto Says Being Rich Is Boring
Last week, rapper Latto candidly opened up about her wealth during an appearance on Complex's 360 With Speedy.
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.

The Game Picks His Top 100 L.A. Rappers: ‘This My List, Punk!'
The Game wasn't happy with Complex's list of the top 50 L.A. rappers of all time, so he made his own list and posted it on Instagram with a lengthy caption attached. 'A few days ago @complexmusic dropped a list of the Top 50 LA rappers,' the Compton rapper began. 'I don't know who gave final approval but I get it… 'playas f— up too!!!' I was born and raised in this city and I've never moved from it, left it for more then two months or abandoned it to call anywhere else home. I've lost brothers, family, friends, and damn near my own life to the lifestyle that so many people around the world try to imitate.' More from Billboard Inside The Game's Visit to Altadena to Help Rebuild After L.A. Wildfires Offset Deactivates Social Media Amid Ongoing Drama With Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Foo Fighters, Chappell Roan & Linkin Park to Headline Corona Capital 2025 He added: 'I say that to say, I AM LA… I've mastered the art of surviving in this city that has claimed so many & believe when I say.. I've been in the trenches since my birth.' On the Complex list, The Game falls just outside the top 10 at No. 11. He went on to mention his own standing within L.A. rap history and seemed confident in his picks. 'Forty-five years the music created here has been the soundtrack to my life,' he wrote. 'And here I stand today as one of thee koldest rappers in the history of the city, state and coast I've given my blood sweat and tears to. Everybody on this list know what it is with me out here and those not on the list understand that the names above from top to bottom best represent this city and its culture.' He then continued about including certain rappers who weren't born in L.A. but have claimed and repped the city as their own, like 2Pac, who was born in New York City but raised in Baltimore and the Bay Area before becoming closely affiliated with Los Angeles during a good portion of his rap career. 'The few rappers on the list that weren't specifically born here are on the list because of their dedication and choice to ride with the city once they got here,' he said in regards to Complex deciding to leave 'Pac off of their list. 'It's non debatable!!! Argue all you want to but this is how I feel… if I'm wrong, challenge my pen and let me remind you of what and who I am. At the end of the day, this my list punk!!!! I was born here and I will die here…. Sincerely, the Coast Guard.' The Game's list is twice as long as Complex's, and his top 50 is somewhat similar aside from the order, but the main difference is that he decided to include rappers like 2Pac and The D.O.C. (from Texas) for their contributions to LA rap history even though they weren't born there. 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar and himself round out The Game's top five.
