Latto achieved early success in hip-hop as a child, winning The Rap Game reality competition TV show at 16.
In a conversation with Speedy Morgan, the creator of Sweet Honey Iced Tea shared that while success may bring in a lot of money, it can also be “kinda boring.”
Her response to Complex’s questions about her net worth reflects on her experiences with success at a young age.
You grow up fast in this industry,” she explained. “Then having money young pushes it even more. Now I find more joy in spoiling others than spending on myself. I’m stingy with me, but I go crazy for them.”
She urged people to rethink the grind for wealth. “That’s not the goal,” she said. “The real goal is true happiness.”
Though their responses varied, all of them echoed one truth: net worth doesn’t define value. For Latto, the freedom to uplift those around her—and the peace that comes with it—is what makes her feel truly rich.
