Latto was left awe-struck upon Eminem revealing he’s a big fan of hers – so much so, she’s pretty sure he thinks she’s a bit weird now.
Big Latto stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday (December 4), where she recalled the recent linkup with the legendary rapper during his appearance as a guest judge on Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow.
“First of all, I was so gagged!” she gushed with a huge smile. “I didn’t even know. I was like, ‘Oh I bombed that. He thinks I’m weird.’ Because I just was like, ‘Ahhh!’ I didn’t know what to say so I was like, ‘Ahhh thank you!’ My daddy listened to Eminem so much growing up.
“That’s probably his favorite rapper, so it was just like, ‘Oh, don’t lie to me. For real?!’ and he was like, ‘Yeah!’ And then I asked for a picture and he said yes. He probably thinks I’m a little awkward.”
Eminem 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 last week, 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.
And during her tour stop in Toronto, Drake delivered a surprise performance from his seat.
Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour hit popular Tdot venue, History in November. At one point, the spotlight turned to a box on the balcony of the theater where Drizzy hit the mic to perform his collab with the Georgia rapper, “Housekeeping Knows.”

The track was released in August as part of Drake’s multimedia dump dubbed ‘100 Gigs,’ which in addition to videos and even concepts for his private plane decor included three new songs – the aforementioned Latto collab, “It’s Up” with Young Thug and 21 Savage and a third called “Blue Green Red.”
