Latto knows there are some things you just keep close to your heart — like your relationship!The «Big Energy» rapper appears on the cover of magazine, and dishes about her long-term relationship.«If something is special to me, I’m going to keep it close to me because everything else has to be front and center about my life,» the 24-year-old GRAMMY-nominated rapper says.Latto and her beau (whose identity she has yet to reveal) have known each other since they were teenagers, and for the «Put It on Da Floor» rapper and her boo, it's all about trust.«You know what, I’m crazy, but I’m not that crazy,» she says when asked if she is the jealous type. «I let him have his time and he lets me have mine.
