In an interview with The FADER, Latto recounted how she was approached by police officers during her trip to the Dominican Republic, leading to her detention and eventual transfer to a county jail.

Despite the distressing experience, it was revealed in court that there was no warrant for her arrest, shedding light on the unjust situation she had to endure.

While some on social media linked this incident to a past one at LAX in 2021, where Latto was apprehended for carrying a loaded firearm, she clarified that this recent ordeal was a separate incident.

Despite these challenges, Latto has continued to focus on her music career, releasing tracks like “Sunday Service,” “ISSA PARTY” with BabyDrill, and the successful “Seven” featuring Jung Kook.
