Latto Teases Collaboration With Woman Fired Over ‘Brokey’ Challenge

Latto is teasing something big with one of her new friends: a woman who was apparently fired from her job at Waffle House for participating in the rapper’s “Brokey” challenge.

On Tuesday (October 8), the rapper posted photos on Instagram of her posing with Yadira Ramirez, who made a TikTok video for Latto’s “Brokey” last month.

A day later, Ramirez posted another video, this time saying that she had been fired and placed on the “not eligible for rehire” list, despite her six-year tenure.

In late September, Ramirez met Latto and the rapper gave her $10,000.

In the new photos of Latto and Ramirez, the duo poses with waffles in a series of shots that some commentators are speculating could be stills from an upcoming music video. Check it out below.

The “Brokey” challenge came about when Latto’s track “Brokey” received some criticism from people who thought it was making fun of hard-working people with less-than-well-paying jobs.

The rapper got wind of the criticism and tweeted: “I hate that you all think I call hard workers broke workers [broken heart emoji] So I got $10,000 for whoever makes the best video at their job and I’m going to fly you out to be in the music video.”

“Brokey” currently only has a lyric video, so it’s likely that the new images of Latto and Ramirez are from a full music video for the track.

Latto’s 21 titles were released in August Sugar honey iced tea The album, which includes “Brokey,” features appearances from Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Young Nudy, Hunxho, Coco Jones, Mariah The Scientist and Teezo Touchdown.

Meg actually appears on the album twice, first in a new song titled “Squeeze”, then again in her previously released “Sunday Service Remix”, which also features Flo Milli.

The latter appears as a bonus track alongside the original “Sunday Service,” 2023’s “Put It On Da Floor” and the accompanying Cardi B-assisted remix “Put It On Da Floor Again.”

“[Aesthetically]I took my cue from Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and Lil Kim. [Musically]“I took a cue from Kelis, but obviously with a Southern hip-hop twist,” she said of the album in a recent interview billboard Cover story. “They have a very feminine energy, but are masculine in the sense of confidence. I feel like they were boss bitches.

“There was just ‘I’m that girl.’ Hearing and seeing them in that heyday, you say, “I’m here to stay.” In a world where everyone makes music, this record has me looking up to the GOATs. There are no microwave artists here. I’m trying to be here for a minute… I’ll be here for a minute. I’ve been here for a minute.”

She added: “I love the music I’m making right now. I’m not chasing success. I just do it. This is the happiest I’ve ever been, to the point where I even told the label [to] fall back. I’m in the studio – I don’t want you to send me no beats, no songs, nothing. I do what I want to do. I’ve never been more confident about a project.”
