Cardi B is attempting to make things right with Latto.
Taking to social media, Cardi shared how she wants to “clear the air” with Latto.
”I truly understand how you feel. And that’s exactly why I chose to apologize publicly because the disrespect became public. On that call, I didn’t even mean to call you that. I didn’t mean any harm,” Cardi said. “There’s a difference in what I said vs what I meant.”
“What I could have said was you was too forgiving and gave too much mercy in that situation,” she continued. “But it was a heated conversation, and I let my mouth get the best of me.”
Cardi also explained that “extremely overwhelmed and emotional” when the call became public. But there is still no “excuse” for her actions.
“I spoke with your manager, your sister, and even texted you directly to take full responsibility,” she concluded. “I always had love and respect for you! I always wanted to make it right, but making it right looks different for both of us… I wanted to connect with you, but you wanted to address it on your album.”
Cardi apologized to Latto after the call, and Latto appeared on “ErrTime (Remix)” for her Am I the Drama? (Ultimate Edition).
“I was ranting and hot at the moment, but I f— with Latto HEAVY,” she wrote. “And I respect everything about her, including her team, that’s so sweet.. AND NOPE! I’m not too prideful to apologize to somebody I really respect, so this is my public apology, and now ima privately buy her a bag.”
On her new album, Big Mama, she spoke about Cardi seeking to mend their relationship.
“Talkin’ ’bout buying Big Mama a bag like my n—- ain’t already bought it,” Latto raps on “Gimme Dat.”
Latto confirmed the lyrics were about Cardi in a recent interview.
“It’s someone I deadass looked at as a friend. Like, I understand this industry shirt first, too. But we were on a texting basis,” Latto said. “So I feel like, ‘Yeah, you tweeted to the world, but we got each other’s number.’ So then, probably like two months later, something like that, she did text me, but by that time, I’m like, ‘I’m not even thinking about that,’”
Latto said they haven’t spoken since the incident.
