Latto Gives Lil Kim Her Flowers But, Is It Shade?

Latto is confirming once and for all, Lil Kim is the greatest female rapper to ever do it -- but make no mistake, she's chasing down the Queen Bee's legacy!!!

The Notorious K.I.M. got her flowers from Latto when the latter sat down with Complex -- but Latto's BFF and eye of Drake's affection, Brooklyn Nikole, is also puckering up her lips to declare her bestie is the G.O.A.T.

So, we've got a G.O.A.T.-off?

Latto didn't deny she feels goated, especially with the "Sugar Honey Iced Tea" album she released last week being well received -- but admitted, realistically, Kim is ahead of her in the rap rankings.

G.O.A.T.-off over.
