It seems like Latto’s team tried to keep the raptress’ romance with 21 Savage under the radar. According to Jason Lee, the team for the “Big Energy” femcee, who was previously known as Mulatto, offered to pay him to remove a post about Latto showing off her tattoo of 21 Savage.
“My team put it up. I started getting random calls from numbers telling me to take it down. I thought it was a fake fan playing around on my phone. So I sent the number to my team and they said, ‘Oh, this is her publicist…’ ” the Hollywood Unlocked founder told Complex. “I guess we were the first to post it, but then everybody else had posted it. So now it’s out.”
Jason added that he refused to give in to requests from celebrities by removing the post. “So I said, ‘No, we gotta keep it up.’ They call back and asked if they could pay to take it down,” he went on to recall. “Now, I don’t know that Latto asked that, but I’m like, ‘You think you can actually give me a check to tear away at my credibility for you?’ So I was a little taken aback by that. So we ended up not taking it down.”
He shared that he tried to get in contact with the “B***h From Da Souf” raptress by texting her “a few times,” but she never responded. “I don’t know if she was mad at me,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s because 21 Savage was allegedly married because he wants to be in the country. I don’t know the politics of that because we don’t talk about that. But I love Latto.”

Latto was seen sporting the tattoo, which spelled out “Sheyaa”, in February. Fans believed that she tried to hint at her romance with the “Her Loss” rapper, whose real name is Sheyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph.
The dating speculations between Latto and 21 Savage first emerged in December 2020. At that time, the rap stars let out some pictures from their vacation in Puerto Rico. Latto, however, denied the rumors during her appearance on Wild 94.1 in January 2021. “No,” Latto said when asked whether she’s dating 21. “It’s videos on YouTube of me performing with him at [Atlanta nightclub] Palace. It be real respect.”
21 Savage also insisted that he didn’t have a “celebrity girlfriend” during a Clubhouse chat session. “I don’t do all the antics and s**t. I don’t got a celebrity girlfriend,” he added. Seemingly in response to the statement, Latto was caught unfollowing 21 Savage on Instagram.
