"Sunday Service" is a song by American rapper Latto, released on February 9, 2024 via Streamcut and RCA Records. Produced by Go Grizzly, Pooh Beatz and Bankroll Got It, it is believed to be a diss track towards rapper Ice Spice, in response to the song " Think U the Shit (Fart)".
In January 2024, Latto began teasing the song on TikTok. [1] In a snippet of the song that she posted on January 7, the video for Ice Spice's " Pretty Girl" can be seen playing in the background. On February 2, Ice Spice reacted on Twitter Spaces, "Seeing that I'm in the back of your weak ass snippet? I was like, 'Wait a second, that's me?' So I'm like, 'Since we're talking about me, let's talk about me.' It was really just a snippet. I was like, 'This has to be fake. This is AI.' But bitches be bold, so I was like, 'Oh, we're being bold today.'" [1] [2] [3] On February 3, Latto was seen filming a music video in the Bronx, the hometown of Ice Spice. [4] On February 5, she shared an alternate cover art for the single, which shows her posing in front of a collage of female rappers. Each person on the cover, including Latto herself, has their eyes crossed out with a black horizontal line. [1] [4] [5] After the song was released on February 9, Latto denied the song was a diss in response to journalist Elliott Wilson's comments via Twitter (X). [6][ better source needed]
The chorus finds Latto criticizing men who cheat in relationships ("I don't sing R&B but, bitch, I'm really her, fuck wrong with niggas? / How you let him cheat and take him back? / Must be your only nigga") [7] [8] and rapping about how she handles them, [9] in addition to threatening a confrontation if she is booked on the same bill with certain others (alluding to Ice Spice) before using Ice's signature ad-lib "Graaah". [10] [11] In the lyrics, Latto asserts her high status in the music industry [8] [9] and mentions Lil Nas X. [12] She continues to take shots at Ice Spice in the second verse, referencing her song " Think U the Shit (Fart)" (which Spice revealed was aimed at Latto): "Think I'm the shit? Bitch, I know it, ho / Jesus walked on water, I got ice boilin' though". [10] [11] [13] Elsewhere, Latto directs again at Ice Spice and also at Nicki Minaj with the lines "These bitches corny, soon as monkey see, then you know monkey do / Do you rap or do you tweet? / 'Cause I can't tell, get in the booth, bitch / Stop all that motherfuckin' yellin', ho / 'Cause I ain't buyin' what you're sellin', ho". [10] [11] [13] [14]
Tallie Spencer of HotNewHipHop stated "The track not only showcases her lyrical ability, but also serves as a bold declaration of her authenticity and unapologetic attitude" and "Furthermore, Latto's ability to blend bold lyrics with a captivating beat creates a unique and powerful listening experience. The track's production complements her assertive delivery. Making 'Sunday Service' a memorable addition to Latto's growing discography." [8] Brycen Saunders of Hypebeast wrote, "A party or club track for certain, the song sees Latto's smooth, yet robust wrap cadence alongside a strong beat". [9]
The music video was released alongside the single. In one scene, Latto pays homage to the singer H.E.R., through an appearance of a distinct hairstyle and circular shades. [15] She walks into a deli at one point in the clip, alluding to Ice Spice's song " Deli". [11] The video features a reference to the film Belly, with Latto in neon blue light with glowing iridescent irises. [16] It also references Missy Elliott's music videos by using a fisheye lens. [15]
An official remix of the song was released on June 7, 2024. It features American rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Flo Milli, beginning with a verse from the latter [17] [18] in which she raps in a threatening fashion, [17] mentions she likes listening to Jodeci during sex, boasts the shape of her buttocks despite her being petite, [19] and asks why someone would bring their male partner to one of her events "if you know he thirsty". [20] Megan performs the last verse in an aggressive style, [17] on which she acknowledges her critics and how men who previously wanted her now hate her. [19] She also states that regardless of how people move the goalposts for her, she will maintain her success. [19] [20]
