Latto and her sister, Brooklyn Nikole, are serving up some big energy at the 2023 BET Awards. On Sunday, the duo showed up in matching black ensembles for culture’s biggest night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old rapper and her younger sister appeared to have the best time as they made kissy faces and struck poses together on the red carpet.
Latto is among this year’s BET Awards nominees for best female hip-hop artist and best collaboration for her “Big Energy” (Remix) with Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled. In 2022, the rapper took home the award for best new artist, beating out Muni Long, Tems, Baby Keem, and Yung Bleu.
Back in April, Latto spoke to Apple Music about the importance of sisterhood not only in music but in life, too. Of why she feels constantly inspired to work with other women in the music industry, Latto said (via Yahoo), “I feel like it really started from my foundation. I come from a one-sibling household, and that’s a sister. So really, sisterhood is embedded in me.” She added: “I look at women like my sister, I don’t know how to explain it. I look at rap, female rap, like a sisterhood because I come from a tight relationship with my sister, a tight relationship with my mama. So, it come from just literally being a fan and not being shady or not being what people expect women to be. Not being what people set the tone for women to be.”
