Latto’s new single, “Sunday Service,” has sparked controversy and speculation due to its lyrics and accompanying music video. The song seemingly takes aim at fellow rapper Ice Spice, escalating a feud that began brewing on social media. This article delves into the lyrics of “Sunday Service,” examining the key lines and their potential meaning within the context of the ongoing rap beef.
Deconstructing the Diss: Key Lyrics in “Sunday Service”
The chorus of “Sunday Service” immediately sets a confrontational tone. Latto raps, “I don’t sing R&B but, bitch, I’m really her, fuck wrong with niggas?/How you let him cheat and take him back?/Must be your only nigga.” This verse seems to be a direct jab at Ice Spice, questioning her loyalty and relationship choices. The line, “I get loud just like my weed, I don’t watch my tone with niggas,” further emphasizes Latto’s aggressive stance and refusal to back down.
Adding fuel to the fire, Latto raps, “Think I’m the shit, bitch, I know it, hoe.” This line directly references Ice Spice’s recent track “Think U The Shit (Fart),” which many believe contains veiled disses towards Latto. This lyrical retort confirms that Latto is not only aware of the perceived slights but is willing to respond in kind.
The music video for “Sunday Service” also provides clues to the target of Latto’s lyrical attacks. The video features images of various female rappers, including Ice Spice, with their eyes covered. This imagery could be interpreted as Latto symbolically silencing her rivals or asserting her dominance in the female rap scene.
The Feud: Latto vs. Ice Spice
The tension between Latto and Ice Spice escalated when a snippet of Ice Spice’s music video for “Pretty Girl” appeared in one of Latto’s teasers for “Sunday Service.” In the teaser, Latto raps, “I just want a one-on-one, don’t know why she so nervous,” leading to speculation that this line was directed at Ice Spice.
Ice Spice seemingly confirmed the suspicions during a Twitter Spaces session, claiming that her song “Think U The Shit (Fart)” was indeed a response to Latto’s initial jabs. This back-and-forth exchange of disses on social media and in their music has solidified the feud between the two rappers.
“Sunday Service”: More Than Just a Diss Track?
While “Sunday Service” is clearly fueled by the ongoing feud with Ice Spice, the song also showcases Latto’s confidence and lyrical skills. She asserts her position in the rap game, unafraid to confront her detractors and stand up for herself.
The controversy surrounding “Sunday Service” has undoubtedly generated significant buzz for Latto. Whether the song is purely a diss track or a broader statement about her artistry, it has cemented her place as a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop world.
