Latto hit the red carpet at the Reform Casino Night Gala this past weekend and took a moment to reflect on her favorite music of the year so far.

In a conversation with Complex's Jordan Rose, the Atlanta rapper gave flowers to a couple of her peers when asked which albums stood out in 2025. According to Latto, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR's joint project $ome $exy $ongs 4 U and Mariah The Scientist's HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY were the best of the year.

"We love Ri-Ri!" she added on the carpet, shouting out her close friend Mariah. Latto's choices weren't too surprising given her connections to the two artists.

She and Drake previously linked up on "Housekeeping Knows" and often exchange mutual support online. As for Mariah The Scientist, her and Latto's friendship has played out publicly through live performances, nights out, and collaborations like "Look What You Did." The pair even stirred up headlines when they joined Angel Reese on her podcast, opening up about love, relationships, and life in the spotlight.

Latto herself could be joining the mix of 2025 albums, as she's dropping singles that fans think are hinting at a full project, such as "Gyatt," her collaborative effort with Ice Spice.
