Latto may be piling up the awards and honors following the release of her latest album Sugar Honey Iced Tea, but she has her own ideas about who deserves accolades.
Appearing on Complex’s GOAT Talk earlier this month, the Sugar Honey Iced Tea rapper and her sister Brooklyn Nikole named their picks for greatest of all time in a variety of categories, including rap.

For Brooklyn, the answer was easy: “I’m not even gon’ lie, I have to say you. Not even being biased. I listen to you the most. You be on my top.”
“The GOAT is Lil’ Kim, for sure,” Latto replied. “Fashion icon, timeless music, timeless looks, gon’ forever be a staple, in not only rap, but female rap.
“And she the GOAT because she is a queen for real. Like off camera, she a queen… I love her, and she ‘Big Mama,’ too. It’s just a Big Mama thang.”
As for Joe Budden, he’s placing Latto over Doja Cat when it comes to ranking women in rap music.

On an episode of Budden’s eponymous podcast that dropped on Saturday (August 11), the New Jersey native gave Latto her flowers as he discussed her new album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea.
“First of all, Latto is one of the women that I support,” he said. “So I purchased this without listening to it at all. I have not gotten through the entire thing, but I went through the samples and I heard what I needed to hear.”
