Latto on how she handle and respond to criticism for changing her sound and working with Dr. Luke on “Big Energy.”

"I’m really learning how to deal with the hate and the social media criticism. I think I’m just trying to learn how to balance it all being so young, you know what I’m saying? It’s hard for anyone, but especially coming up in the industry — I’ve been rapping since I was 8 years old and I was introduced to the world at 16 on “The Rap Game.” Now, I’m 23 and I’m still young and trying to learn everything — when it’s appropriate to speak up on things, when it’s not appropriate, when it’s appropriate to clap back, when it’s not appropriate. It’s all eyes on you, and being so young a lot of times I don’t even think people care what I say or I don’t think I’m a role model to anyone. But truth of the matter is people do care. They pay attention, I have an influence on people and I am a role model to some people. I have to take that responsibility whether or not I want it — I have it and it comes with the game. I’m just trying to figure it all out."

I don’t get it…

She understands she has an influence on people and she should watch the way she acts as a public figure but she still chose to work with Luke?

What do you expect from someone whose stage name is taken from the words "mulatto"??

Does she really have control of who she works with though?
