Latto opened up about plastic surgery and admitted she had “a little work” done on her body during the latest episode of her Apple Music 777 Radio podcast which aired earlier on Thursday.
The Lottery hitmaker, 24, who recently denied altering Coachella photos to increase the crowd, was joined by her sister, Brooklyn Nikole, for being outspoken about a variety of topics, including plastic surgery.
At one point, the rapper, who currently has 11 million Instagram followers, revealed, “You know, I’ve done a little bit about my body, whatever.”
Her sibling then told the artist, “A lot of people don’t even know that because you just look so good,” to which Latto was quick to add, “Because it has to be ab***h natural.”
The Rap Game star continued, ‘Because this is one thing, if you’re going to do it, do it right. I’m going to do well. I did well.’

Latto added that while she’s been getting “tweaky tweaks,” she was on her sister’s case not to touch anything.
Brooklyn then explained, “I think people think that just because someone had surgery, they’re just encouraging everyone to get it,” but revealed that the rapper adamantly told her, “Don’t touch your body.” Don’t touch your face.’
The artist expressed the importance of loving herself by saying, “I’m telling you. To all the young girls listening, all the women listening now. I’m telling you from someone who’s been there, done it. Find peace in your natural state.”
“Because you’re going to find a mistake and another mistake and another mistake and another mistake. Surgery, all those things are not a permanent solution,” she continued.
The star explained to her radio listeners that despite having surgery, she still edits photos and has “mirror debacles.”
For women who have been out of work or who have made the decision to have plastic surgery, Latto said, “I’m a big supporter of women in general. Surgery. Naturally. However you want to play, just make sure you’re comfortable with it.”
“I just think surgery is so popular right now,” the Big Energy rapper explained, adding that her profession in the spotlight also influenced her decision to have plastic surgery.
“I am constantly in the spotlight. And I was so young. I got my first big break at age 16 on The Rap Game,” adding, “This is coming from someone who had all that stuff. I tell you, love yourself first as you are.’
‘Do it right’: After her sister stated that people didn’t know she had surgery, the rapper continued, ‘Because this is one thing, if you’re going to do it, do it right. I’m going to do well. I did well’; seen at Coachella earlier this month

“If you want a tweaky tweak, go for it. But make sure it’s for you. That’s the most I’m trying to remind you of. Don’t be so gullible to the social media traps and whatever, because you’ll never be good enough for the outsider’s eye.”
Latto said she was still being criticized before and after work. “You’re never going to win. So just find the peace within yourself. Whatever you want to do, do it. I promise you, without the pressure on you, you will love yourself, your body, your natural state.’
The star concluded with, “Take that and own that.” To all the women who listen, so to speak.’
During Thursday’s episode, the rapper and her sister also addressed claims that she photoshopped her Coachella performance photos.
Brooklyn defended Latto, explaining, “It’s a whole video performance. It’s a taped performance of the audience,” referring to the fact that photoshopping would be impossible.
Earlier last week, the musician took to her Instagram Stories to push back allegations that she had used technology to make audiences appear larger.
“Never photoshopped a crowd lmao,” the Columbus, Ohio native said in a caption scattered over an image of her facing the crowd at the Indio, California-based music festival.
The artist, whose name is Alyssa Michelle Stephens, said an image she posted for aesthetics on Instagram was enlarged but accidentally posted to Twitter.

“I expanded it to fit my Instagram swipe without getting cut off, but it was obviously cut up, so I ended up not using it and accidentally posted the wrong version to Twitter babes,” Latto said.
The Grammy-nominated artist ended the social media post by saying “Next” with a series of emojis.
A number of social media users speculated on the authenticity of the image after the Big Energy singer posted an image on social media of herself facing the crowd, with some pointing out that some members of the crowd appeared to be replicated.
Others defended the artist, saying it was a technical by-product of formatting the concert recording for social media posting.
