Latto’s Coachella set is still causing an uproar.
When she performed for the first time, the rapper brought “Big Energy” to the festival. Following her performance on Sunday, which she dubbed “Lattochella,” she tweeted photos from the show, including one of herself looking out at a crowded sea of festivalgoers at the Sahara stage.
However, some of her critics examined the photograph and accused Latto of Photoshopping the crowd to make it appear as if she exaggerated the size of her audience.
“Photoshopping your fans is a new low,” a Nicki Minaj fan tweeted, alongside a screenshot of the Photoshop job, which shows duplicate fans in the crowd.

Latto responded to the Photoshop allegations in an Instagram Story, explaining that she was attempting to expand the photo to fit her Instagram grid. However, the doctored image was accidentally included in her Twitter post.
“Never, ever photoshopped a crowd lmao,” she wrote. “I expanded it so it would fit in my Instagram swipe without getting cut off, but it was clearly f.cked up, so I didn’t end up using it and just posted the wrong version on Twitter babes next.”
While some fans attempted to expose her, others defended Latto in the midst of the Photoshop allegations. “Lmfao Whoever noticed this is a real hard hater,” one person wrote on Twitter.
Since their highly publicized feud last year, Latto has been the target of Nicki fans’ vitriol. Latto debuted a new song during her Coachella set, seemingly taking shots at her idol-turned-rival.
“She thought I was going to kiss her ass, she must not have taken her meds,” Latto raps on the track. “We got tired of the subtweets this year,” she yelled as she exited the stage. Please notify me, Bitch.”
