Latto Opens Up About Feeling Pressured to Get a BBL at 21 Due to Body Shaming
On an Instagram Live session, American rapper Latto, whose real name is Alyssa Michelle Stephens, opened up about the immense pressure she felt to alter her body at just 21 years old.
The “Big Energy” artist, now a powerhouse name signed to RCA Records, revealed the dark side of fame and the harsh scrutiny she endured from fans that led her to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Latto, known for her confident persona and unapologetic lyrics, laid bare the vulnerability beneath her tough exterior. “When you’re in the public eye, everyone feels entitled to comment on your body,” she shared.
The 25-year-old rapper recounted how relentless body shaming on social media took a toll on her self-esteem, compelling her to conform to a beauty standard she didn’t initially set for herself.
The revelation underscores a troubling trend in the entertainment industry, where young women often face intense pressure to meet unrealistic beauty standards. Latto’s admission sheds light on the toxic environment that can push celebrities into making drastic decisions about their bodies.
“I felt like I wasn’t enough as I was,” Latto confessed, echoing a sentiment that resonates with many young women today.
