Cue the fireworks, this wasn’t just another summer single, but an iconic, symbolic tag-team moment signaling the end of their two-year–long ‘feud’ that fans had been buzzing about. On Wednesday, September 3rd, rap stars Latto and Ice Spice teamed up for their long-anticipated collaboration, “Gyatt.” Their hottest new single is co-produced by Grizzly, Pooh Beatz, RiotUSA, and Supakaine.
The song title “Gyatt” stems from a viral slang expression of admiration for a woman’s curvaceous body, a theme Latto and Ice Spice embrace in their verses that trade off seamlessly, with Latto’s commanding delivery balancing Ice Spice’s laid-back but sharp flow. Both Latto and Ice Spice lean into that playful, feminine energy and charisma throughout the song. By embracing their curvy figures, “Gyatt” continues the legacy of earlier body-positive anthems like “Body” by Megan Thee Stallion and “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child. These tracks have historically embraced and celebrated thick curvy figures, and “Gyatt” extends this lineage by spotlighting modern interpretations of body positivity in hip-hop culture.
A day after the song was released, the pair dropped the anticipated music video for “Gyatt”, directed by Hidji World, known for his work with Playboi Carti and A$AP Ferg. The music video unfolds in a WWE-style WrestleMania ring, where Ice Spice and Latto face off in a mock championship twerkoff in the WrestleMania ring. The setup perfectly channels the song’s playful competitive energy while also serving as a humorous nod to the duo’s past beef, reimagining it as a sexy, campy, and fun performance. The music video also featured cameos from Love Island star JaNa Craig and Twitch streamers Deshae Frost and Tylil James, adding an extra layer of humor.
Since its release, “Gyatt” has sparked a wave of reactions online with fans praising the collaboration. The single highlights the star power of the two biggest young hip-hop rappers today.
