“I don’t really believe in luck,” says the 24-year-old American rapper Latto, whose name, ironically, is short for lottery, among other things. “When I say luck, what I’m saying is blessed. It’s like, oh my gosh, I’m the chosen one. Blessed and highly favoured. Work hard and pray hard.”
Her prayers were answered earlier this week when the rapper landed her first number-one hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 list with her latest single Seven, a collaboration with K-Pop star and BTS member Jungkook. That said, when we meet, the repercussions of her “work hard” ethos are showing. She’s tired, hungry and over two hours late.
