After she shared content from her first weekend at the festival, internet trolls quickly noticed some oddities in one image.

Latto gave what's been labelled as undoubtedly one of the most exciting performances at Coachella weekend one on Sunday (April 16). Still, that hasn't stopped haters from trying to find any possible flaws. On Monday, the reality star celebrated her major W with a photo dump shared on Twitter. It consists of selfies, snapshots of her outfit, and finally, an enormous crowd watching on as she stood in front of them. Not long after her post went up, Latto was hit with zoomed in screenshots of the bottom right image. Upon inspection, some are accusing her of photoshopping it to make the audience at her show look bigger.

"That crowd tho! Wow. Goals 🙏," one person wrote along with receipts that show them same face in the crowd twice. This hate train isn't as massive as others Latto has conquered as of late. However, it's likely exhausting for her to take on such constant criticism nonetheless. Thankfully, the 24-year-old is an undeniably resiliant spirit, and often addresses the gossip circulating about her online with a tough attitude. After seeing the negative response to her "LATTOCHELLA" post, she took thinks over to Instagram to speak her mind with a Story.

Latto Shares Photos from Coachella

"Never photoshopped a crowd lmao, I expanded it so it would fit in my Instagram swipe without getting cut off," the Atlanta-based artist wrote earlier this afternoon. "It was clearly f*cked up so I didn't end up using it and just posted the wrong version by accident on Twitter babes 🥰. Next," Latto's message ended. Since she's spoken out, it seems as though many are taking the "Lottery" hitmaker's side in the spat, calling the behaviour of those accusing her of editing "weird."

"This is just weird in general... Everyone knows how packed Coachella is," one IG user wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk's comments. "I saw videos from a fan in the crowd from her set. Idk how she can do it, y’all be hating on these female rappers like crazy! They can’t make a mistake, gotta be perfect etc. I’d be tired if I was her."
