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
Last week, rapper Latto candidly opened up about her wealth during an appearance on Complex's 360 With Speedy. 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 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. Related: Let's Talk About How Creepy The Sydney Sweeney Bikini Pics Are 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.'

Rod Wave's attorney says he's a burglary victim as rapper faces 14 criminal charges
Rapper Rod Wave, whose legal name is Rodarius Marcell Green, was charged in connection to an alleged April incident that his lawyers say started with a break-in at his Georgia home. Green, 26, faces 14 criminal charges, including aggravated assault and firearms violations, following the alleged events that unfolded at his residence on April 21. Through his lawyer, he denies any wrongdoing. Police responded to Green's home after receiving reports of a domestic dispute around 9:30 p.m. Witnesses said they heard yelling and screaming from outside the residence, Milton Police department said. On arrival, officers say they found Manariah Andrews, 22, a former contestant on 'The Rap Game' and known on social media as Mini Barbie, crying outside the residence. According to police, Andrews reported returning home at 9 p.m. to find the house where she and Green live burglarized. Officers confirmed the break-in, saying they discovered an emptied safe that had been dragged across the basement floor. MORE: Hawaii woman Hannah Kobayashi breaks silence months after controversial disappearance They say their investigation revealed multiple bullet casings on the driveway stairs, bullet holes in two luxury vehicles -- a gold Mercedes G-Wagon and a black Rolls-Royce -- and a broken window near the pool where a hammer was found in nearby bushes. A handgun was also recovered from the scene, police said. Police say Andrews informed officers that Green, who was away at the time, would return the following day. No injuries were reported in the incident. Green, whose three albums "SoulFly," "Beautiful Mind" and "Nostalgia" have all topped the Billboard 200 chart, turned himself in to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday. He was released on bond the same day. His attorney, Drew Findling, strongly maintains Green's innocence. "There is no truth to these charges. Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes," Findling stated. "How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably for Mr. Green." The charges against Green include criminal damage to property, pointing a firearm at another person, reckless conduct, tampering with evidence, aggravated assault and more. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to police. Rod Wave's attorney says he's a burglary victim as rapper faces 14 criminal charges originally appeared on
