Cardi B Opens Up About Latto Tension, Claims She Attempted Multiple Reconciliations

Cardi B is breaking her silence on the public dispute with fellow rapper Latto, offering her perspective on the tension that has played out across social media and in the press.

The incident centers on a leaked phone conversation in which the 33-year-old made disparaging remarks about the 27-year-old. Latto has since responded by incorporating references to the feud into her music, including the track "Gimme Dat," which contains lyrics addressing their conflict.

Following Latto's appearance on The Breakfast Club, where she discussed the situation, Cardi B took to Twitter (X) on Thursday, June 4, to share an extensive statement.

In her message, Cardi B expressed understanding of Latto's feelings and explained her decision to apologize publicly once the disrespect became widely known. She characterized the phone call as a heated moment in which she spoke carelessly, distinguishing between what she actually said and what she intended to convey.

"When the call came out I was eight months pregnant, had just released my album, and was extremely overwhelmed and emotional," Cardi B wrote, providing context for her emotional state at the time while acknowledging that circumstances do not excuse her words.

Cardi B went on to detail her reconciliation efforts, stating that she reached out through multiple channels during 2025 and 2026. She claimed to have contacted Latto's manager and sister, as well as sending direct messages to Latto herself, with the goal of taking responsibility for her actions.

"I always had love and respect for you," Cardi B wrote, noting that while she wanted to resolve matters privately, their approaches to addressing the conflict differed, with Latto choosing to process the situation through her music instead.
