Detroit rapper Latto may be one of the biggest stars of the rap and hip-hop world, but that hasn’t stopped her from worrying about what Eminem thinks of her.
While sitting down with Jennifer Hudson during a Dec. 4 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Latto, 25, opened up about a run-in she had with the 52-year-old rapper, revealing it didn’t quite go as expected.
When Hudson, 43, asked the Rhythm + Flow judge what it was like having Eminem as a guest judge on season 2 of the Netflix music competition, Latto said she was “so gagged.”
“I was like, ‘Oh, I bombed that. He thinks I’m weird because I just was like, ahh. I didn’t know what to say, so I was like, ‘Gah, thank you!’ ” she said, referring to Eminem revealing he’s a fan of her music during his appearance on the series, which aired its season 2 finale and announced the winner of a $250,000 cash prize on Wednesday.
She added, “My daddy listened to Eminem so much growing up, that’s, like, probably his favorite rapper. So, it was just like, ‘Oh, don’t lie to me. For real?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ And then I asked for a picture later, and he was like, ‘Yeah.’ He probably thinks I’m a little awkward.”
