Latto got a kick out of her win at Sunday night’s BET Awards.
The “Put It On Da Floor” rapper was caught with only one shoe on when she was announced as this year’s Best Female Hip-Hop Artist.
Not seeming to be expecting the honor, Latto had slipped off her heels while taking her seat in the audience after a high-energy performance.
Once her name was called, she scrambled to put on her shoe and make her way to the stage. After a fumbling with her footwear for a second, the “Big Energy” rapper decided to make her acceptance speech Cinderella-style.
“Child, I’ve got one heel on, one heel off,” she squealed with delight.

Latto continued, “Shout out to all the other women in the category, all the women who paved the way for this to even be possible. This category is going crazy this year.”
She bested Cardi B, Coi Leray, GloRilla, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj for the trophy.
This year’s BET Awards was home to its fair share of chaotic moments.
Before the main event, the pre-show red carpet was plagued with audio problems. Then, there were plenty of awkward moments during the show, which was unscripted due to the ongoing TV and film writers strike.
Even veteran stars struggled while onstage.
Singer Patti LaBelle made a messy tribute to Tina Turner. While she was able to hit the high notes, LaBelle couldn’t see the teleprompter clearly enough to nail the lyrics to “The Best.”
