Back in 2020, fans spotted on each star's Instagram stories that they had posted very similar pictures of the same location; this immediately sparked rumours, however, Latto later clarified that they were simply both performing at the same location.
Both 21 and Latto have individually clarified that they have been in long-term relationships with a partner that they hadn't revealed publicly, until now!
In a street interview, when Big Mama was asked if she was tired of being asked about 'you know who', she said no and then went on to confirm the pair were dating.
She said: "My man, my man, my man, my man."
This is the first time either of them has confirmed their status.
But what gave them away?

Latto and 21 Savage have a song together
‘Wheelie’, released in 2021, was the track with both of the trending rappers on.
After the previous encounters, fans were certain this was an obvious sign the two were in cahoots, but still neither of them confirmed.
The ‘Brokey’ rapper said: “[21 Savage] is one of the male Atlanta artists running it, and then I’m the female running it, hands down, I think it’s just that Atlanta chemistry. I’ve opened up for 21 way back in the day.”
Latto and 21 Savage have ‘matching tattoos’
Perhaps the most concrete piece of evidence is the star’s tattoos.
Both Latto and 21 have a tattoo behind their ear in the exact same place!
When the discreet tattoo was seen on Latto, fans went crazy as the tattoo reads ‘Sheyaa’, the ‘redrum’ rapper's birth name.
21, whose real name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, also has, what appears to be, a matching tattoo in the same spot behind their ears.
His tattoo, which, although unclear, is speculated to read ‘Alyssa’ - Latto’s real name - according to fans.
Latto wore 21 Savage’s football team’s shirt
The ‘Big Mama’ rapper seemed to fuel rumours of her ‘secret’ relationship when she posted to Instagram in an Arsenal top.
Having no prior link or supposed interest in the club, fans were left wondering the reason why she wore the red shirt.
It then became clear to the shippers that 21, who is originally from London, is a supporter of the London club.
The ‘Creepin’ rapper had even been presented a signed shirt at the Gunners' ground, The Emirates Stadium.
This connection led fans to believe that Latto was giving a nudge to ‘her man’s’ home team.
Latto references her man in a new track
And now, as of most recently, Latto has released a track with British rapper, Nemzzz.
Their new track, called ‘ATE’, seems to fuel the rumours again.
In the song, Latto says: "Knew hе was from UK when he got behind mе stabbin' it, aha / [..] / In the A, they call me fine sh*t, but the mandem say I'm leng (Okay)."
This reference to her man being British is as clear as day!
Whilst 21 is an Atlanta-based rapper, he sent fans into a spiral years ago when they realised he was actually born and raised in London before moving across the pond.
Despite all of the pair’s denials in the past, it has finally come to light, and the fans are overjoyed that they were right!
