Latto’s concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Halloween was anything but typical, thanks to a jaw-dropping surprise appearance from Lil Kim.
Latto’s “Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour” rolled into Brooklyn with a bang. The Georgia rapper electrified a packed Barclays Center on October 31, treating her audience to performances that would linger long after the curtain fell. But it was the unexpected entry of a Brooklyn icon that truly turned the night on its head.
As the crowd roared in anticipation, Latto brought out none other than Lil Kim, much to the delight of her hometown fans. The legendary rapper didn’t disappoint, belting out her classic hit “Crush on You”. Her words for Latto? “Brooklyn, we got one right here! You the GOAT baby,” she exclaimed, sealing the moment with her iconic flair.
The surprises didn’t stop there, as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie also graced the stage, amplifying the night’s energy with his own set. These New York heavyweights joining Latto turned the Barclays performance into an unforgettable celebration of hip-hop talent.
Meanwhile, Latto has been making waves off-stage as well. In a gesture that has fans buzzing, she gifted $10,000 to Yadira Ramirez, a fan who participated in her “Brokey” Challenge. The challenge, which encouraged fans to dance to her track “Brokey”, took an unexpected turn when Yadira lost her job after her video went viral.
Despite the setback, Yadira’s story took a positive turn thanks to Latto’s generosity. The fan’s aunt shared details of the whirlwind on Instagram, highlighting how a fun moment at work turned into a major win for Yadira, courtesy of Latto’s surprise gift.
Latto initiated the “Brokey” Challenge in response to critics who felt her song mocked individuals in low-paying jobs. In a bid to turn the conversation around, she offered $10,000 to the fan who created the best dance video at their workplace and a chance to appear in her music video.
The rapper, noting the backlash, tweeted: “I hate that y’all think I was calling hard workers brokeys 💔 so I got $10k for whoever make the best video at they job to brokey & I’ll fly u out to be in the music video.” Her response shows a willingness to engage with her audience and address concerns while maintaining her playful and generous spirit.
With a night full of surprises and a heartwarming act of kindness, Latto proved she knows how to make an impact both on and off the stage.
