Latto popped up at her high school over the weekend with lots of “Big Energy” as she donated $35,000 to her alma mater for homecoming. During the surprise appearance, Latto posed for pictures with the cheerleading team, brought Wingstop for the students and jumped in a TikTok with the homecoming queen. It’s not the first time Latto came through for her hometown: Back in 2022, the rapper and her Win Some Give Some Foundation donated $250,000 in Christmas gifts to residents of Clayton County, the area where she grew up.
