Latto recalled the moment Eminem revealed he was a fan of hers:
“First of all, I was so gagged! I didn’t even know. I was like, ‘Oh I bombed that. He thinks I’m weird.’ Because I just was like, ‘Ahhh!’ I didn’t know what to say so I was like, ‘Ahhh thank you!’"
Latto confessed that the moment was surreal, especially since she grew up listening to Eminem’s music through her father.
"My daddy listened to Eminem so much growing up. That’s 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 and he said yes."
Despite her excitement, Latto jokingly admitted she might have left a quirky impression.
"He probably thinks I’m a little awkward.”
