"If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go tit for tat with," Latto told the pub. "I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, 'Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef.'"
