Latto offered a more reflective account of her recent comments about possibly stepping away from music during a conversation with Nadeska Alexis on Apple Music. The discussion returned to a post she made about Big Mama, which she once described online as a “retirement” album. Alexis raised the point gently but directly, noting that she had taken the statement with some skepticism at the time. The moment also comes in a period of personal transition for Latto, who recently had her first child with 21 Savage.
“Remember when we was talking about postpartum depression, good days, bad days?” she said around the 15-minute mark, framing her earlier post as something shaped by a difficult stretch rather than a fixed decision. She spoke openly about how disorienting that period felt. “That was definitely not one of the good days. Experiencing postpartum for the first time, you don’t know what to expect? I kind of underestimated it. That was just one of those days where I was at home and overwhelmed with the album.”
Latto Walks Back Retirement Talk Amid Postpartum Reflections
She suggested her thinking has been fluid since then, changing with her circumstances and mood as she adjusts to motherhood and work. “I was going through it that day,” she said. “Today’s a good day. I wouldn’t say I’m retiring today. Talk to me next week again, I might say, ‘No, that shit was for real.’ So, I don’t know. I’m going through it. I crashed. It is what it is.” Alexis responded, “It will happen again,” pointing to how postpartum experiences can ebb and flow. Latto later added, almost under her breath, “I’m going to try not to take it Twitter next time,” softening the tone with a brief laugh.
By the end of the conversation, she returned to the reaction her post had drawn and expressed some regret over how it landed publicly. “I apologize for the retirement tweet,” she said. Earlier this month, she had written on X, “5/29. My retirement album. Thank you for everything.” In the weeks that followed, she confirmed the birth of her child and was seen alongside Keyanna Joseph, the mother of 21 Savage’s two older sons, Kamari and Ashaad, as she continues moving through a period of significant personal change.
