Latto has decided it’s time to show off her acting chops, making an appearance in the latest episode of Grown-ish. In the scene, which was teased on the ABC show’s Instagram account, Big Latto plays “Sloane,” a wine company representative who stocks the lounge (owned by Diggy Simmons’ character Doug) with tasteful wines.
“Hey Sloane, my favorite wine rep,” Doug says to Latto as she enters with a bag full of wine. “I was about to get rid of all my wine so I could see you again.”
“Sounds like I win either way,” she replies before describing which wine pairs best with Jalapeño poppers. She eventually admits: “I’m down to try anything once.”

Grown-ish, which is currently in its sixth and final season on Freeform, is no stranger to recruiting Hip Hop talent. The series’ final season will include other cameos from Lil Yachty, Kelly Rowland, Omarion, NLE Choppa, and Anderson. Paak and the show had previously brought in Joey Bada$$ – who played the love interest of the main character Zoey in season 2.
The cameo comes a few days after Latto became the first rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023. The Atlanta rapper’s “Seven” collaboration with BTS star Jung Kook, which dropped earlier in July, debuted at No. 1 earlier this week.
According to Billboard, the pop-heavy track skyrocketed to the top spot with to 21.9 million streams, 6.4 million in airplay audience, and 153,000 combined digital and CD singles in its opening week.
It marks the first No. 1 single for both Latto and Jung Kook, with the former’s previous best coming in April 2022 with “Big Energy,” which peaked at No. 3. She currently has one other song on the Hot 100 with her Cardi B-assisted “Put It On Da Floor Again,” which sits at No. 42.
Latto celebrated the news by posting a photo on Instagram of her pretending to wipe tears from her eyes, along with another of her blowing a kiss to the camera.
“#1,” she captioned the post, which was met with congratulatory comments from Yung Miami, Flo Milli, and more.
