Latto must have no shortage of surprise guests on her tour, bringing out 4Batz to perform two of his biggest songs. Latto was performing at South Side Ballroom, keeping her streak of homegrown talent following Drake and Lil Kim who popped out in Toronto and Brooklyn respectively.
4Batz switched up the twerking energy to singalongs, as he did the remix of “act ii: date @ 8” with Drake and "act iv: fckin u (18+)."
“Dallas, Texas, I want y’all to know, we over everybody,” he said. “I’m really from Dallas, Texas, and we really in this motherfucker!”
4Batz wrapped up his first tour earlier this year, named after his ex-girlfriend Jada. After the release of U Made Me a St4r, he has since released new singles with Lil Baby and Jeremih. Reppin’ Dallas is part of his DNA, telling D Magazine, “Honestly, there was a part of my life where I thought Dallas was everything. I thought Dallas was Chicago. I could’ve sworn I’d seen Chief Keef when I was seven. I just thought Dallas was the world because I had never been out of Dallas before. And that just goes to show how much Dallas means to me because it is so big in my heart. I will always love Dallas.”
On the same night as the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson main event at AT&T Stadium, opening acts Karrahbooo and Mariah the Scientist warmed up the crowd with a mix of pulsating flows and R&B vibes. Karrahbooo’s 10-minute set included “Running Late,” “Box the 40,” and her Concrete Cypher verse.
After a slight wait, Mariah the Scientist got the loudest pop when she arrived. While waving at fans and giving them half-hearts, she slowed things down with tender favorites like “Always n Forever.” She read a fan’s phone showing a message about Young Thug being free, delighted that he was out, and did a little dance. It set up “IDGAF” perfectly.
Latto's official DJ, DJ Von, did a tribute to the late Beatking, playing tracks "Outside" and "Then Leave."
Latto and her dancers had a dynamic performance with fun choreography, bringing Georgia and the Atlanta strip club to Dallas. The mostly female crowd couldn't wait to go crazy with Big Mama and hear Sugar Honey Iced Tea tracks, dressed up in cheetah-printed and "Sunday Service"-inspired outfits. Although she had to pause the show a few times to break up fights and pass out water to people, she wanted to make sure her fans were safe before continuing.
“Back Outside,” “Shrimp & Grits,” and “Big Mama,” which she performed twice, kept energy levels high. “Brokey” and “Put It On Da Floor” were the viral hits that had Latto fans rapping every word, as well as her track "Chicken Grease" which samples T.I.’s “24’s.”
The Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour continues through Texas, stopping in Houston (Nov. 16) and Austin (Nov. 17). It concludes on Dec. 7 in Denver.
