Latto has fulfilled her promise and awarded the $10,000 prize to the fired Waffle House employee who participated in her “Brokey” Challenge.
Latto just proved that she’s not just a chart-topping rapper but also has a heart of gold!
Recently, the Atlanta native made headlines for following through on her promise to award $10,000 to the winner of her ‘Brokey’ Challenge. This was a counter to the backlash from fans who felt personally attacked by the lyrics to her viral hit “Brokey.” Many argued that the hit song demeaned hardworking employees who could not afford Latto’s luxurious lifestyle and those of her cohorts.
“I hate that y’all think I was calling hard workers brokeys,” Latto posted on X on Sunday, Sept. 15. “So I got $10k for whoever makes the best video at their job to brokey & I’ll fly u out to be in the music video…no mo waiting til ur bday to go outta town. Tag me & hashtag #Brokey so I can see them all.”
Shortly after enteries started pouring in, a TikTok user announced that she has been fired for participating in the “Brokey” challenge video while working their shift. @yadirajramirez also informed her followers that she had been fired and placed on the EFR list, so she couldn’t be rehired.
Guess what? Latto has chosen her as the winner of the ‘Brokey’ challenge. The $10,000 prize will definitely give her a much-needed financial boost in her current unemployed situation.
The Atlanta rapper kept her word, not only awarding the young woman the $10,000 prize but also making an effort to meet with her in person.
In a viral clip making rounds on social media, the new BFFs (Latto and @yadirajramirez) share a moment twerking and showing off the cash prize while “Brokey” plays in the background.
Latto’s ‘Brokey’ Challenge may have begun as a fun way to connect with fans, but it turned out to be a life-changing experience for one deserving individual!
