Latto Fulfills Promise, Flies Out “Brokey Challenge” Winner for Music Video After Waffle House Firing [Watch]

Latto has made headlines for flying out the winner of her viral “Brokey Challenge” after the fan was fired from her job for participating. The rapper invited fans to post creative videos of themselves at work to her song “Brokey” from her latest album Sugar Honey Iced Tea. However, one fan, Yadira Ramirez, who worked at Waffle House for six years, was fired after posting her entry. Despite involving her coworkers, Ramirez was the only one terminated.

Ramirez’s TikTok, where she shared her frustration over being fired, quickly went viral.

“I just got fired cause of that video for Big Latto’s challenge. Yay. I’m glad I put six years in a company that would fire me in literally a day,” she vented.

Latto, hearing about the situation, chose Ramirez as the winner, awarding her $10,000 and a spot in the upcoming “Brokey” music video. Fans rallied behind Ramirez, praising her risk-taking and social media’s power to change lives. One fan wrote,

“Congrats to her for doing wtf she wanted vs staying loyal to a job that never gave af 🧇.”

On October 8, Latto shared Instagram photos from the video shoot featuring her and Ramirez dressed in lingerie on a pink set, with Latto playfully holding a plate of stacked waffles — a subtle nod to the Waffle House firing. Fans loved the cheeky message, with one commenting,

“Not u posting waffles and she got fired from Waffle House …”

The “Brokey” video, which also stars Rubi Rose, Alabama Barker, Desi Banks, and more, was released on Friday. The end of the video even teased an upcoming video for “There She Go.”

Fans are excited to see what’s next, and you can watch the official “Brokey” video below.
