"**The Biggest**" is a song recorded by American rapper [Latto](/source/Latto). It was released as a single on May 21, 2021, through [RCA](/source/RCA_Records) and Streamcut.[1]

## Background and release

"The Biggest" was teased and eventually announced following the change of Latto's stage name from Mulatto to Latto.[2] She changed her stage name due to criticism for using the stage name Mulatto, as the word [mulatto](/source/Mulatto) is used as a [racial classification](/source/Racial_classification) and some people felt she was glorifying the word by using it in her stage name.... [3]

"Mulatto was a negative term that I was trying to make positive. We’re gonna start positive, and I feel like that’s gonna bring that energy my way. I feel like, in a way, that could’ve been holding me back, and I don’t want to attach that to myself anymore…"

— Latto

[4]Latto also addressed claims that she was too slow to change her stage name, stating that she had to involve "[management](/source/Management_(music)), [PR](/source/Public_relations), [investors](/source/Investor), [social media](/source/Social_media), [and] [lawyers](/source/Lawyer)" in the change. "The Biggest" was released on May 21, 2021.[5][6]
