Latto Makes History As First Woman Headliner For Atlanta’s Birthday Bash Brings Out Usher, 21 Savage And More

Over the weekend, Latto made history as the first woman headliner for one of the biggest concerts in the ATL.

On June 22, HOT 107.9 hosted its annual Birthday Bash show at the State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta . Although the rapper proudly reps Clayton County, Atlanta has her heart. Ahead of her performance, the 25-year-old rapper posted a video of herself and her dancers at rehearsal. In the caption, she shared her decision to put all the money she received for participating in the show into her set to put on the best show possible.

“Not making a penny from Birthday Bash I invested it all back in the show so get yo tickets don’t waste my money,” Latto tweeted. “Also figuring out a live stream for my ppl who don’t live in the A so hold tight !!!!!!”

Latto’s surprise guests included Usher, 21 Savage, Summer Walker, Rasheeda, Princess from Crime Mob, Mariah the Scientist, Anycia, and more. She also brought Flo Milli, who appeared on Latto’s “Sunday Service” remix alongside Megan Thee Stallion to perform her “Never Lose Me” hit.

“The first Atlanta rap b***h to go gold! The first Atlanta rap b***h to go platinum, double platinum, triple platinum. The first female headliner for Birthday Bash. F**k that, Big Latto Bash,” Latto said before taking the stage, according to Bossip .

Latto performed her hits “Sunday Service,” “B***h From Da South,” “Put It On Da Floor” and “It’s Giving.”

During the Usher’s performance, Latto hopped in to save the day by singing the intro of the R&B star’s “Superstar” when technical difficulties with the sound arose.

“They getting fired Usher, I’m not even playing,” she joked before lending her vocals.

Usher shared some kind words for Latto in the middle of his set.

“You know, we have this thing that we do in Atlanta, where we just seem to keep making history,” he said, according to a report from Uproxx . “Tonight, Latto made history, being the first female to [headline] Birthday Bash. [So,] we wanna give her, her flowers, one time.”

Latto ended her set with a new song (she didn’t announce the title) off her upcoming album, which seemingly will be titled Sugar Honey Iced Tea, reminding some fans of Ice Spice’s diss song aimed toward Latto titled, “Think U The S**t (Fart),” Bossip reported.

Latto celebrated the surreal occasion with an Instagram video captioned with, “16,000+ sold out in my city!!! Real tears watching all this footage!!! Im flooding today idc yall wouldn’t understand the feeling!!! Real Atlanta KNOW I put in overtime yall really watched me grow up @hot1079atl thank u for trusting me! SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA OTW 💿💿💿💿💿.”
