"Big Mama" is a song by American rapper Latto from her third studio album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea (2024). It was released on June 28, 2024, through Streamcut and RCA Records. It was produced by Coupe, Oz and Kid Masterpiece.

Composition

The first half of the song finds Latto sing-rapping about a man she is in love with[1] [2] and their relationship,[3] from her feelings of insecurity to strong affection.[4] She follows an R&B-styled verse and uses delivery resembling Drake's. The beat switches halfway through the song, in which she adopts the flow of rapper 21 Savage (who she is also rumored to be in a relationship with), lyrically boasting her appealing qualities and dismissing her rivals as being one-dimensional while still bragging about her boyfriend.

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. It opens with Latto and her sister Brooklyn deciding to travel to Miami, and preparing and packing for the trip. In Miami, they cruise the streets in luxury cars, dance and twerk on a yacht, go dining and visit a strip club, along with other women.

Live performances

Latto performed the song at the BET Awards 2024, along with her song "Sunday Service".[5]
