Images of Latto being stopped by the police
On Friday, July 19, Raq Rarest posted body camera footage of Latto being stopped by the police. According to the date, the incident occurred on September 28, 2023, at around 2:00 am.
In the footage, an officer approaches Latto’s yellow vehicle and asks for identification. Latto, whose real name is Alyssa Stephens, explains to the officer that she is a rapper before briefly adding that she ran a red light because she was “trying to hurry up and get home.”
Additionally, the rapper stated that fans recognized her car and that she wanted to keep her destination safe.
Latto explained that she was celebrating a friend’s birthday at a nightclub. Eventually, the officer asked the rapper to take a breathalyzer test. The officer then presented Latto with a ticket for running a red light and encouraged her to be more careful while driving.

So far, Latto has not publicly reacted to the images of his arrest that were released.
GloRilla and Lil Baby previously went viral after video of their arrests surfaced
Latto isn’t the only rapper who has had footage of his traffic stop surface on social media. In April, footage of GloRilla being pulled over by police officers went viral. In the footage, she insisted she was fine. However, the officer noticed odorous substances on her person and in the vehicle, The Shadow Room.
Last month, Lil Baby made headlines when news broke that he was pulled over in 2020. The Shadow Room previously reported, the rapper was cited for having his vehicle’s windows tinted too much.
Like Latto, Baby seemed concerned about fans recognizing his car.
“There has to be film in Atlanta. These people are crazy,” he reportedly told the officer. “I’ll get a ticket before someone follows me home.”
