The rap girls have been locked in some of the most heated storylines in hip hop over the past few years, and Latto has found herself at the center of two of them: her public fallout with Nicki Minaj, and her brief but buzzy clash with Ice Spice. On Sunday night (Oct. 5), the Atlanta rapper sat down with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live and peeled back the curtain on where things stand.
Cohen wasted no time, asking what he called “the number one question” floating around online: fans loved seeing Latto and Ice Spice reconcile, but could the same happen with Nicki?
Latto laughed at the question, then broke it down piece by piece.
“Okay, one at a time,” she said, recalling how her truce with Ice came about. “Her team reached out to my team… we figured it out. At first, I was like mmh, but then I was like hmm.”
It was a far cry from where things stood last year, when Latto and Ice Spice exchanged slick disses online before squashing it on wax. Their collaboration, “Gyatt”, dropped last month and instantly reset the narrative, with both rappers also appearing on Kai Cenat’s livestream and jokingly brushing off the past. “She sent me the song,” Ice explained at the time. “Once I heard it, I was like, yeah, duh.”
The Nicki situation, however, has deeper roots. Back in 2022, Minaj publicly questioned why her chart-topping “Super Freaky Girl” was shifted into the pop category for Grammy consideration, while Latto’s breakout hit “Big Energy” remained in the rap categories. What started as an industry gripe quickly spiraled into a personal clash, with both artists trading shots online and fans splitting into camps.
The fallout pushed Latto closer to Cardi B, who has her own longstanding feud with Nicki. Their recent collab on the “ErrTime” remix doubled down on that alignment, even as Nicki’s been firing off social media rants and teasing her next album—reportedly slated for March 2026 (and seemingly in response to the arrival of Cardi’s new album, Am I the Drama?)
Still, when Cohen pressed if a reconciliation with Nicki was possible, Latto didn’t shut it down.
“Yeah, I’m open to, you know, rekindling with anybody,” she admitted.
Gizelle Bryant, sitting alongside Latto, jumped in to say, “Yes, we love Nicki. We do.” Latto’s reply was brief but telling: “I did, too.”
It was the kind of answer that keeps the door cracked without promising anything—a careful balance between respect and realism.
With Ice Spice already back in her corner and Cardi standing beside her, Latto’s ability to rewrite the narrative around her feuds seems to be working. But whether Nicki Minaj will ever make that same pivot remains one of the biggest what-ifs in rap right now.
