Latto Surprises Brooklyn Fans with Lil’ Kim Appearance at Halloween Show
Latto had a Halloween treat for her fans in Brooklyn, and it wasn’t just the usual costumes or candy. The Georgia rapper brought out a hip-hop legend, Lil’ Kim, during her concert at the Barclays Center on October 31 as part of her Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour. The show, which started with an opening performance by Mariah The Scientist, took an even more exciting turn with Lil’ Kim’s surprise appearance.
The night kicked off with Mariah performing just hours after the release of her boyfriend, rapper Young Thug, from jail. Thug was freed in a surprising plea deal related to his ongoing racketeering trial, setting the stage for an electrifying atmosphere at the Barclays Center.
But the biggest surprise came when Latto brought out not just one, but two New York City favorites: A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Lil’ Kim. The crowd erupted as Lil’ Kim took the stage to perform her iconic hit “Crush on You,” praising Latto as “the fucking truth.” She went on to proclaim Latto as a rising force in hip-hop, calling her “the GOAT.”
Latto’s recent big-hearted gestures were also celebrated at the show. One particularly notable moment from her recent tour was when she gifted $10,000 to a fan named Yadira Ramirez, who lost her job after posting a dance video at her Waffle House workplace for Latto’s viral “‘Brokey’ Challenge.” Despite the consequences, Latto not only met with Ramirez but also rewarded her resilience and support with a generous gift of $10,000.
The “‘Brokey’ Challenge” was Latto’s response to online criticism suggesting that the song was insensitive to people with hard-working, modest-paying jobs. Latto turned the critique into a positive movement by encouraging fans to submit dance videos at their workplaces, offering cash and a chance to appear in her music video. Yadira’s video quickly gained traction, but unfortunately led to her being fired. Latto stepped in, demonstrating her commitment to her fans with a meaningful gesture.
Latto’s Halloween show in Brooklyn was more than just a performance; it was a night of surprises, celebrating her connection to her fans and respect for hip-hop legends like Lil’ Kim. This tour stop marked a powerful moment for Latto, further solidifying her place as a rising star in the music world.
