For a long time, fans speculated about the relationship between 21 Savage and Latto. Just when they thought the drama had settled, it took an unexpected turn.

What began as a rumored romance soon spiraled into a chaotic and messy breakup that exposed infidelity, secrecy, and public humiliation.

At the start of their alleged relationship, Latto and 21 Savage worked hard to keep things under wraps. Rumors first sparked in 2020 when fans noticed both artists posting vacation pictures from the same location.

When questioned, Latto denied any romantic involvement, claiming they were simply performing at the same venue.

She insisted that while she was in a relationship, she preferred to keep it private. However, despite her denial, people in the industry seemed to know otherwise.

Rapper DreamDoll fueled speculation with lyrics referencing Latto and 21 Savage in her song “Tryouts.”

Similarly, Kodak Black admitted that he once tried to pursue Latto but backed off after realizing she was involved with 21 Savage.

Despite this, 21 Savage continuously denied being in a relationship, stating in an interview that he was not the type to have a “celebrity girlfriend.”

His reluctance to acknowledge Latto in public raised eyebrows, especially when it became clear that he was still legally married to his wife, Keona.

Latto, however, seemed deeply invested in the relationship. In a bold move, she got 21 Savage’s real name, Shéyaa, tattooed behind her ear—an action that stunned fans since he had never publicly claimed her.

In response, Hollywood Unlocked posted about the tattoo, which reportedly upset Latto so much that she attempted to have it removed from the internet.

Despite the backlash, it was later revealed that 21 Savage also got a tattoo of Latto’s name in the same spot, confirming their involvement.

As their romance became more public, the cracks in their relationship also started to show.

Rumors spread that Latto had started attacking 21 Savage’s alleged side pieces, and when he had enough, he ended things with her.

The breakup sent Latto into a downward spiral, leading her to publicly criticize 21 Savage, his wife, and his other women.

She engaged in online rants, shading Keona for staying in the marriage despite 21 Savage’s infidelity.

While Latto was lashing out, Keona made a quiet but impactful statement by changing her Instagram bio from “Keona Joseph, mother of two” to simply “Mother of two.”

This subtle move signaled to fans that there had been a shift in her relationship with 21 Savage. However, contrary to speculation, Keona never left.

Many believed that 21 Savage would leave Keona once he secured his green card, but that never happened.

Latto didn’t take this well. She started making subtle digs at the situation, even posting a Sims game screenshot where a pregnant character resembling her was having a baby with a man who looked exactly like 21 Savage.

This left fans speculating that she was either still involved with him or struggling to move on.

To make matters worse, Latto wasn’t 21 Savage’s only romantic entanglement. Reports surfaced that he had allegedly been involved with another woman, Swaeetee.

Word spread that he had taken Swaeetee on a lavish Dubai vacation, which only intensified Latto’s frustration.

When a fan accused Swaeetee of being involved with 21 Savage, she denied it, stating that she had never even met him. However, the damage was already done, and Latto reportedly spiraled over the situation.

Despite the chaos, Latto continued dropping hints about her connection to 21 Savage. On her latest album, she included lyrics that many believed referenced their relationship.

In her song “Good to You,” she rapped about “laying up with a savage,” which fans took as a nod to 21 Savage.

When asked about her love life in interviews, she remained coy, stating that “the internet doesn’t know anything” and that she preferred to keep her relationships private.

Latto’s obsession with secrecy, however, only fueled more speculation. While she wanted to keep her romance private, the dramatic fallout made it impossible.

Fans were invested in the saga, watching closely as she dropped cryptic messages and as 21 Savage continued to play both sides.

Despite all the drama, one thing was clear: Latto had risked everything for a man who was never willing to claim her publicly.

Meanwhile, 21 Savage remained with Keona, proving that she was the one he was ultimately loyal to.

In the end, this messy love triangle served as a lesson in public relationships, secrecy, and self-worth.

Latto’s attempt to keep her romance private only led to more scrutiny, and her decision to go public after the breakup backfired spectacularly.

As for 21 Savage, his refusal to acknowledge Latto publicly while keeping his wife close made it clear that he was never going to commit to anyone but Keona.

While Latto may have had “big energy” for 21 Savage, in the end, she was left with nothing but regrets and an unwanted tattoo.
