Latto Calls Her Infant “the Chosen One” as She Updates Fans on Early Motherhood
Latto updates fans on her two-month-old daughter, calls her "the chosen one," and reflects on postpartum struggles after releasing Big Mama.
Parenthood has become a recurring subplot in rap’s public lives, and Latto has stepped into that role with the same blunt, unfiltered energy she brings to her music. On Monday, July 6, the Atlanta rapper used her Instagram Story to give a brief, intimate update on the daughter she shares with 21 Savage — a baby who was around two months old at the time.
Latto didn’t stage the moment; she wrote plainly and proudly, recounting the night her water broke and celebrating small developmental milestones.
“She been showing she gone be special literally since birth,” Latto typed, revealing that her water broke at midnight on her due date. “I love my daughter so MF much.”
She added that the baby had just rolled over for the first time and offered a line that read like a punchline and a prophecy at once.
“I literally gave birth to the chosen one. Shawty soooooo smart,” Latto added.
Latto’s baby arrived a few weeks before the release of her Big Mama album, which dropped on May 29. Around that rollout she posted on X that the record would be her last. In a May conversation with Apple Music, she framed that announcement through the fog of new motherhood and mental health.
“I was overwhelmed,” she said. “I’m experiencing motherhood for the first time. I’m dropping my album, my last album that I owe the label. So, it’s just like I was going through it that day,” she explained. “Today’s a good day. I wouldn’t say I’m retiring today. Talk to me next week and I might say, ‘Nah, that sh*t was for real.'”
Latto has been candid about postpartum depression as a factor in her retirement language, folding personal struggle into career decisions in a way that feels increasingly common — and necessary — among high-profile artists. She has not publicly shared her daughter’s name.
For now, the narrative is small and domestic: a midnight labor, a tiny milestone, and a parent’s obvious pride. It’s also part of a larger arc for Latto, whose public statements about music and motherhood continue to evolve in real time.
