Latto is showing major love to a Waffle House employee who lost her job after joining the rapper’s viral “Brokey Challenge.” The Atlanta artist launched the challenge earlier this month, encouraging fans to dance to her track “Sugar Honey Iced Tea (Brokey),” sparking tons of creative submissions.
One of the standout participants was Yadira Ramirez, a Waffle House employee who filmed her entry at work, featuring five of her coworkers dancing along. The clip quickly went viral, but instead of applause from her bosses, Yadira faced a harsh consequence. Despite six years of service, she was fired and blacklisted from being rehired by the company.
News of her firing caught Latto’s attention, and the rapper wasted no time in stepping up. On Wednesday, September 24, Latto met with Yadira, surprising her with an incredible $10,000 to help her bounce back from the situation.
“My niece @ofyadira has had quite the week,” Yadira’s aunt shared on Instagram, recapping the whirlwind of events. “From having fun at her job, being fired, to winning $10k from @latto. You really can’t make this up. Time for the next level!”
Latto’s generous gesture proves her dedication to supporting her fans, especially when they’re facing tough times. The viral moment has not only showcased Latto’s big heart but also sparked a conversation about balancing fun and professionalism in the workplace.
