Latto shuts down rumours of photoshopping her Coachella crowd
Latto has denied rumours that she photoshopped a bigger crowd into an image from Coachella set this year, sharing photos and videos as proof.
The ‘Big Energy’ rapper performed at the festival for the second consecutive year on the closing Sunday (April 16) of weekend one. Latto brought out rising rap stars TiaCorine and Lola Brooke as well as Saweetie to perform their verses on some of her biggest collaborations.
To commemorate the successful performance, the Clay County star posted four photos on Twitter, captioned: “LATTOCHELLA”.

She also posted a video of her performing ‘Another Nasty Song’ from her Coachella livestream on Instagram with the caption, “Haters will say it’s photoshopped.”
Latto’s comment came about after followers accused her of photoshopping a larger crowd in to photos of her set. One fan screengrabbed a supposed editing mistake and replied, “You gotta photoshop crowds now … those ‘fans’ are edited.”
This started a trend of Twitter users dropping supposed editing flaws under @ilyhooked’s tweet.

Latto clapped back at the fan, writing on her Instagram story: “Never photoshopped a crowd… I expanded it so it would fit in my Instagram swipe without getting cut off but it was clearly fucked up so I didn’t end up using it and just posted the wrong version by accident on Twitter, babes… next.”

More people came to the Grammy nominee’s defence with the same consensus as Latto. One wrote: “Here’s the original portion of the photo for anyone wondering lol… – a graphic designer.”
