Latto has been ridiculed by fans of Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice over the estimated first-week sales of her new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea.
Despite the project’s all-star supporting cast (which includes Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Ciara) and the anticipation surrounding its recent release, Sugar Honey Iced Tea isn’t expected to make a particularly big splash on the Billboard 200 chart.
According to HITS Daily Double, the album is projected to earn just shy of 27,000 equivalent units, good enough for a No. 17 debut.
The news delighted the rabid fanbases of both Nicki and Spice, with whom Latto has been embroiled in feuds over the last year and a half.
“LMFAOOOOOOO FLOPPED LIKE EVE[R]Y ALBUM SHE HAS EVER DROPPED,” one Nicki fan account mocked on social media, while another said: “that’s it? HELP.”
A third user wrote in support of Ice Spice: “20 songs with big features and not outselling ice?”
If the projection is accurate, Sugar Honey Iced Tea will fall just short of Ice Spice’s debut album Y2K!, which recently moved 28,000 equivalent units in its opening week, a figure that was seen by some as underwhelming given the enormous success of singles like “Princess Diana,” “Barbie World” and “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2.”
That project, however, peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200, slightly lower than where Latto’s is expected to land.
Nicki Minaj, on the other hand, proved last year that she remains the highest-selling female rapper in the game when Pink Friday 2 debuted at No. 1 with almost 230,000 first-week units.
Latto and Ice Spice have been going back and forth for a while now, with the Atlanta rapper appearing to use Sugar Honey Iced Tea to take another shot at her rival.
On “S/O to Me,” Latto raps: “Bye sis, funny thing about it, you can’t look me in my eye, sis,” which plays on Ice Spice’s first name, Isis.
The second verse on the song also sees her spit: “Shoutout to myself / Who the hardest out? Bitch, it’s Latto by herself / Ice is just water when it melts / Wipe you down, I got plenty towels on the shelf.”
The Bronx rap star previously took aim at Latto on her viral hit “Think U the Shit (Fart)” by rapping: “I got my foot on they necks, I can’t let up / She all on the floor, told her get up,” referencing Latto’s hit collaboration with Cardi B “Put It On Da Floor.”
In turn, Latto struck back at Ice Spice on “Sunday Service” which included the lyrics:: “Think I’m the shit, bitch, I know it, ho / Jesus walked on water, I got ice boilin’ though.”
Latto and Nicki, meanwhile, have been at odds since they got into a heated spat on social media in late 2022 which was laced with personal insults and leaked private conversations.
