Cardi B has publicly apologized to rapper Latto following a leaked audio recording in which she made disparaging remarks involving Latto’s name. In a now-deleted post shared to social media, Cardi expressed remorse and acknowledged that her comments were inappropriate. “I respect everything about her,” she wrote.
The controversy erupted after an audio clip—allegedly from a heated conversation—surfaced online, capturing Cardi referencing Latto in a negative light. The leak also included sharp criticisms and frustrations tied to ongoing disputes in the rap world.
In her apology, Cardi claimed the statements were made in a moment of anger and accused others of manipulating the recordings. She emphasized her intent was never to disrespect Latto’s artistry or reputation.
Fans and fellow artists alike have weighed in on the situation. Many view this as another chapter in the tangled network of rivalries within female rap, while others hope for reconciliation. Cardi’s move to apologize suggests a desire to deescalate tensions—though whether this moment changes the narrative remains to be seen.
