The "Big Energy" artist has always shown big love to her "Big Wheelie" collaborator, but this gesture definitely takes things to a new level.

For several months now, Latto has let the world know that she's happily seeing with a man. At the same time, she doesn't want to share that part of her life with the public. Of course, that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from turning. Specifically, several social media sleuths believe that the 777 artist is romancing with her "Big Wheelie" collaborator 21 Savage.

The two have known each other for several years now. "[21 Savage] is one of the male Atlanta artists running it. Then I’m the female running it, hands down," the 24-year-old declared last March. At the same time, she recalled opening a concert for him when she was only 15 or 16 years old.

Since then, they've worked together musically in various capacities, and are often seen attending the same parties. Photos or videos of them turning up together have yet to surface online. Still, that hasn't stopped fans from speculating about the possibility of their relationship. Latto has made it clear that she prefers to keep her love life private because it's real, and not a PR stunt.

At the same time, the SAVAGE MODE II hitmaker denied having a "celebrity girlfriend" during a recent Clubhouse session. Both rappers are obviously playing coy about things. Over the weekend, however, the Ohio-based blonde revealed that she got some new ink seemingly dedicated to her beau.

Behind her ear, Latto looks to have added "Sheyaa," or 21 Savage's name to her collection of ink. Of course, neither party has officially confirmed that they're locked in romantically. Still, this seems to be a strong indication we might see them go public in the near future.

Latto's love life has her fans feeling undeniably curious. Seeing as she's been holding them over with tons of new music lately though, they've held back their complaints about her private romance. Among the fashionista's latest releases are her appearance on bLAck pARty's "BOMB" remix and her own reimagining of SZA's "Smoking On My Ex Pack."

Additionally, her verses on GloRilla's "FTCU" (also featuring the late Gangsta Boo) and Chlöe's "For the Night" earned her plenty of flowers. As for solo titles, the last ones we've heard from Latto are "Another Nasty Song" at the end of 2022, and before that, "P*SSY" arrived last July. Listen to those here, and here, respectively and let us know what you think of the rapper's new tattoo in the comments.
