Eminem Outs Himself As A Latto Fan: ‘I Love You. You’re Incredible’
Eminem‘s appearance as a guest judge on Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow wasn’t notable only because it was shot in the superstar’s hometown of Detroit — Slim Shady also got the opportunity to announce his fandom of one of the show’s hosts, Latto.
Em appears on the fifth episode of the Hip Hop competition show’s new season where he, appropriately, judges the “Battles” round alongside Latto, Marshall’s longtime pals Royce Da 5’9” and Mr. Porter, and host SMACK.
In a clip that began circulating shortly after the episode was released on Wednesday (November 27), Em tells a stunned Latto: “I love you, by the way. You’re fucking incredible.”
Latto has been getting more than her share of praises from Hip Hop legends lately, like Lil Kim.
This past Halloween during a performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, the Georgia rapper brought out two major New York City favorites as surprise guests: A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Kim.
The latter, per Billboard, performed “Crush on You” and proclaimed Latto “the fucking truth.”
“Brooklyn, we got one right here! You the GOAT baby,” Kim proclaimed.
Latto has been making plenty of big gestures lately, including gifting a fan $10,000 after the supporter lost her job in the process of winning the rapper’s “‘Brokey’ Challenge.”
Launched in September, the challenge invited fans to make videos dancing to the rapper’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea cut “Brokey.” One of those fans was a woman named Yadira Ramirez, who shared her submission from her job at Waffle House that included five other employees participating in the clip as well.
Her video soon went viral, but was unfortunately met with consequences, as she shared another post two days later revealing that she’d been fired and placed on the “unable to rehire” list – despite her six-year tenure.
Catching wind of the situation, Latto not only linked up with Yadira, but she also gifted her with a cool $10k.
“My Niece @ofyadira has had quite a week,” the woman’s aunt wrote in a post to Instagram recapping all of the moments. “From having fun at her job, being fired, to winning 10k from @latto. I mean you can’t make this stuff up. Time for the next level.”
