Latto Explains Why She Loves When People ‘Hate on’ Her: ‘Thank You for Putting That Battery in My Back’
Latto said on her “Hot Ones” debut that criticism motivates her to work harder and prove her detractors wrong. She described hostility as fuel for her music and said it also does not shake her confidence in her home cooking.
