ATLANTA - Latto, also known as Big Mama, has been announced as the replacement for Cardi B at this weekend's ONE MusicFest in Central Park, located in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta.
Latto, a Clayton County native, recently released her third studio album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, in August. Some of her most popular songs include "Big Energy," "Put It on da Floor Again," "Wheelie," "Soufside," and "Seven."
Cardi B announced earlier this week that she would not be able to perform due to a medical emergency that required hospitalization.
"It breaks my heart that I won't get to see my fans this weekend, and I really wish I could be there," Cardi B wrote on social media. "Thank you for understanding, and I'll be back better and stronger soon. Don't worry. Love y'all."
She did not provide specific details about the emergency.
Other headliners for this year’s festival include Gunna, Jill Scott, Earth, Wind & Fire, Keyshia Cole, Nelly, and Fantasia.
