Hollywood Unlocked posted a picture weeks back, appearing to show Latto with a tattoo of the word “Sheyaa” behind her ear. Rapper 21 Savage’s real name is Sheyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph. Fans instantly deduced they were a couple.
But Jason Lee says her team tried to pay him to take the pic down.
“My team put it up. I started getting random calls from numbers telling me to take it down. I thought it was a fake fan playing around on my phone. So I sent the number to my team and they said, “Oh, this is her publicist.’ I guess we were the first to post it, but then everybody else had posted it. So now it’s out,” he said.
Jason Lee says he denied the request.
“They call back and asked if they could pay to take it down,” he continued. “Now, I don’t know that Latto asked that, but I’m like, ‘You think you can actually give me a check to tear away at my credibility for you?’ So I was a little taken aback by that. So we ended up not taking it down.”
He says he has since texted the rapper several times but she won’t respond.
