Yesterday (April 13), Rick Ross released his recorded response to his past collaborator’s subtle jabs. At the end of “Champagne Moments,” Ross claimed Drake underwent a cosmetic procedure. This isn’t the first time Drake has been accused of going under the knife (hi, Megan Thee Stallion). Instead of abdominal etching or liposuction, Ross alleged that Drake “got his nose done” or rhinoplasty on the track.
“You ain’t never wanted to be a n*gga anyways, thats why you got operation that makes your nose looks smaller than your father nose” – Rick Ross on Champagne Moments alluding to Drake’s alleged nose job pic.twitter.com/lyQund60N4
So, Drake took to his Instagram stories to clap back at Ross with the help of his mother, Sandi. In a text message exchange with Mommy dearest, the pair laughed at the suggestion. When asked by his mother if there was any validation to the rumor, Drake replied: “It’s coming from the guy I did songs with. He’s gone loopy off the Mounjaro. He hasn’t eaten in days, and it’s turned him angry and racist.”
To ensure Ross saw the thread, Drake tagged him in the post. “You’re one nosey goof,” he wrote.

Given that Ross also mentioned Drake’s father, Dennis, a fiery message from Pop should be coming.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
GloRilla’s latest mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, carries a multifaceted message that resonates with the pulse of contemporary Hip Hop culture. Expectedly, the Memphis gem leans into her thick Southerness all through. As a result, the mixtape is a blunt journey through the sweltering streets and the unfiltered narratives of the South. Ehhthang Ehhthang is a nod to authenticity and a reminder that staying true to oneself is an art form.
Straightaway, on “Yeah Glo!,” GloRilla flexes her lyrical muscles. She proclaims superiority over haters, flaunts her luxurious lifestyle, and delivers a hook that sticks like glue. Its unapologetic swagger becomes an invitation to join her in the spotlight. A definitive album opener, it sets the scene for the bold rap star. Moreover, GloRilla is also comfortable with her badassery. Take “Opp Sh*t” for example, a song about having to navigate love in hostile territory. Aggressive rap meets a hard-as-concrete beat, creating a concoction stronger than a four-horsemen drink. But the real gem? Her vivid storytelling keeps you on the edge, waiting for the next twist. It’s an in-your-face ode to heartbreak, convention, and probably even familial loyalty. The former choir girl is keeping things 100, asserting her gospel truth.
Balancing Tradition And Innovation
Tracks like “All Dere” also pay homage to the golden era of Hip Hop. GloRilla’s flow rides the beats like a seasoned surfer catching the perfect wave but she doesn’t stop there. She sprinkles her lyrics with modern references — Instagram flexing, crypto investments, and late-night Uber rides. It’s both a wink to the past and a nod to the present.
Furthermore, it’s important to think of the mixtape as a time machine that transports listeners to sweaty dance floors, neon-lit alleys, and the raw energy of underground parties from the late 90s and early 2000s. The beats evoke memories of boomboxes, breakdancing, and boom-bap. But this isn’t a mere throwback; it’s a reinvention. On Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla takes the familiar and injects it with her own swag. By adding trap snares, distorted synths, and unexpected samples, the production boosts the album’s diverse sound. However, there’s a flip side. Some beats lack cohesion. They stumble, unsure of their identity. It’s as if they’re caught between two worlds — a nostalgic era and the trap-infused present. GloRilla, like a tightrope walker, navigates this balancing act as best she can though. She teeters on the edge, occasionally slipping into mediocrity but when she finds her footing, magic happens.
Collaborations play a pivotal role in the mixtape. Whether it’s the undeniable chemistry with MoneyBagg Yo on “All Dere,” or the fierce energy alongside Megan Thee Stallion on “Wanna Be,” GloRilla thrives in partnership. These features were nearly magical, becoming a testament to the power of collective creativity. Unfortunately, though, not all of GloRilla’s guests shine this way on Ehhthang Ehhthang.
The mixtape includes a few other artists whose verses sometimes feel like obligatory pit stops rather than memorable collaborations. It’s nothing much to worry about, however; GloRilla herself remains the undisputed star. Her lyrical prowess is a beacon: sharp, unapologetic, and dripping with Southern charm. She can rap circles around most, and she knows it. Her verses are a masterclass in assertiveness, she’s definitely not one to play second fiddle.
On Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla Touches All Bases
Throughout the album, GloRilla exudes energy. It’s infectious, like a fever spreading through a packed club. The beats pulse, urging listeners to move — whether they’re in a dimly lit room or nodding along during their morning commute. But here’s the paradox: while the overall experience is enjoyable, some individual songs fall into the “okay” category. They’re like snapshots — moments frozen in time, capturing the adrenaline rush but lacking depth.
Nonetheless, the club anthems to the introspective tracks, GloRilla paints a vivid picture of life’s highs and lows. She doesn’t shy away from the darker corners — the love for drugs, the tangled relationships, and the late-night escapades. It’s a raw exploration of human experiences, set against a backdrop of bass-heavy beats.
In the grand scheme, GloRilla’s trajectory is more than promising. If she hones her production choices, curates features that match her intensity, and continues to elevate her craft, her full-length debut could catapult her to the next level. She’s already among the best on CMG (Collective Music Group), and her star continues to rise. Ehhthang Ehhthang seems to be a mega-sized stepping stone, and it’s evidently just a glimpse of what’s to come for GloRilla. So keep your eyes on the horizon, because this Memphis native is seeking to rewrite the playbook.
Megan Thee Stallion spoke in her recent Women’s Health cover issue about how being a dark-skinned Black woman has been extra difficult over the past few years. “I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me,” she told the outlet. “As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace. But I’m human,” Meg reflected. Many readers resonated with her sentiment and were happy to hear the black-haired beauty discuss her relationship with social media at an ADWeek event.
“You know what I really like? Pinterest,” Thee Stallion shared, praising the mood-boarding platform that has minimal interaction with others. While she loves the app, the 29-year-old isn’t ready to give out her handle to the hotties. Still, she did fill us in on what kinds of things she’s been saving to her various boards. “I deleted Instagram and Twitter off my phone. I have TikTok and I have Pinterest,” Megan said. “Pinterest is, like, the best app in my opinion right now because I can curate what I want to see.”
“I can literally get on there and see what I want to see. Like, if I want to see puppies all day, that’s what I see. My Pinterest is makeup, puppies, breakfast [laughs], workout videos, booty shorts [laughs]. I see all the content I like to see,” Thee Stalli added.
Megan Thee Stallion might not keep Instagram on her phone regularly, but the Hot Girl Coach still makes sure to connect with her fans by going Live and chatting with them occasionally. Earlier this week she and some friends stepped out for a tipsy sushi dinner, at which time Meg addressed rumours of a nose job and had plenty to say about her “only best friend” not introducing her to the guy she’s been seeing. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
This isn’t a revelatory statement, but there’s a lot of both good and bad that comes with social media. It helps connect the world and expose people to creativity they otherwise wouldn’t have seen, but too much time online can be exhausting or even harmful. It’s not uncommon for people to remove popular social media apps from their phones sometimes, and that’s what Megan Thee Stallion is going through right now. There’s one app, though, that she’s huge on, so much so that she deemed it to be “the best app.”
Meg spoke at Adweek’s Social Media Week event yesterday (April 10), and she discussed what her social media usage has been like lately, saying:
“You know what I really like? Pinterest. I’m not gonna tell anybody what my Pinterest is. I got a lot of stuff saved, OK? So I deleted Instagram and Twitter off my phone. I have TikTok and I have Pinterest. Pinterest is, like, the best app in my opinion right now because I can curate what I want to see. […] I can literally get on there and see what I want to see. Like, if I want to see puppies all day, that’s what I see. My Pinterest is makeup, puppies, breakfast [laughs], workout videos, booty shorts [laughs]. I see all the content I like to see.”

GloRilla is no stranger to making surprising claims out of nowhere. For example, earlier this year she surprised fans when she claimed that Lil Uzi Vert is her cousin. There doesn’t seem to be any strong evidence for that but it would put her in an awkward situation as she’s currently beefing with Uzi’s girlfriend, City Girls rapper JT. During a recent Instagram livestream where she was discussing twerking, she made one quick comment that fans have become hung up on.
In the video, she’s livestreaming from her bathroom discussing her twerking abilities. She’s explaining that she can’t show off her moves the best while wearing black but assures fans she’s talented. One of the ways she tries to back that claim up is by saying Megan Thee Stallion learned how to twerk from her. Megan is no stranger to the move, having recently taken to social media to declare herself the queen of it. That’s why some fans are skeptical of GloRilla’s claims, even as others find her comments hilarious even if they are hard to believe. Check out the video where she makes the claim below.
GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion just crossed paths on their new single “Wanna Be.” The track served as the second release from Glo’s new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang which dropped over the weekend. “Wanna Be” is off to a hot start with nearly 4.5 million streams on Spotify after less than a week. The song also got a hilarious video where the pair give their wild take on frat parties.
Earlier this year GloRilla unleashed the mixtape’s lead single “Yeah Glo.” The song has been a hit with fans and critics alike picking up some big cosigns and hovering on the Hot 100. What do you think of GloRilla’s claim that Megan Thee Stallion learned how to twerk from her? Do you think there’s any legitimacy to the seemingly off-handed comment she made? Let us know in the comment section below.
As Megan Thee Stallion continues to focus on positive healing energy ahead of her new musical era, we’ve also got updates on Tory Lanez. The Canadian is still in prison at this time, but R&B icon Mario shared that they’ve been in contact recently, also giving an update on how the father of one is doing lately. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
As our resident Hot Girl, Megan Thee Stallion is all about having as much fun as possible whenever she can. The “Freak Nasty” hitmaker has a known love for “driving the boat,” or pouring shots of liquor down her friend’s throats straight from the bottle, and she enjoys getting in on the drunken shenanigans herself from time to time. Earlier this week, Meg took a break from her studio sessions and tour rehearsals to grab sushi with some friends, at which time she went Live on Instagram to share the night with her millions of followers.
In clips circulating on various blogs, Tina Snow is notably under the influence while talking about one of her bestie’s new man. “You got a new ni**a, I don’t even know the ni**a,” the black-haired baddie yells. “Y’all know my best friend, Jayla,” Thee Stallion says to viewers in the video below, encouraging her pal to “scoot in closer” while they talk. “My day one best friend, my realest best friend, my only best friend,” the femcee gives Jayla her flowers before chewing her out for keeping her love life private.
As Thee Stallion’s date for the evening eats some sushi dipped in eel sauce, her famous friend appears to side-eye her. Jayla laughs and blows a kiss, only for Meg to drunkenly ask, “Why would you dip in my stuff?” It’s unclear if the latter was genuinely bothered, though she seemed unimpressed when her gal pal pointed out that was the only eel sauce at their table. “You know you just got a new ni**a, now look at your wasabi in my eel sauce! I don’t even know the ni**a… All of a sudden, dipping in my s**t with a new ni**a,” Thee Stallion yelled before realizing how far her voice carried inside the restaurant.
Reactions to the footage are pouring in online, and some of the comments are even comparing the situation to Meg’s past with Tory Lanez and her former best friend, Kelsey Harris. “She didn’t introduce him because she doesn’t want you to go behind her back and hit him up ,” one user speculated. “Tory was only around for Meg. Let’s not act like he really was there just to be with Kelsey,” another wrote in her defense.
While she was lit on IG Live, Megan Thee Stallion also didn’t hold back on addressing plastic surgery rumours – but not the ones started by her ex, Pardison Fontaine. Rather, the Houston native denied undergoing rhinoplasty to alter her nose, though not everyone’s convinced. Read what Meg had to say about the allegations at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
The Hot Girl Coach is sharing the details of her go-to workouts. In a profile for Women’s Health, Megan Thee Stallion shared how she keeps a healthy mind and body (ody-ody-ody). As part of her cover feature, she participated in an “Everything But The Sweat” video where she broke down her workout routine.

Meg starts each morning with prayer. Afterwards, she puts anime on the television for background noise, then goes onto her balcony to meditate. She then thinks about her daily tasks, plays with her dogs, and then goes about doing her “hot girl activities.”
“I definitely prefer to workout in the morning,” Meg said in the video, “because you are really that girl if you jump out the bed and have working out on your mind. If you start your day with sweating, and squatting, and punching, and lifting, and doing ab workouts and stuff, you have no choice but to really tackle your day the same way.”
As she prefers to workout as soon as she wakes up, Meg prefers to keep her pre-workout meals light, her go-to’s including turkey bacon and two hard-boiled eggs, or a green juice made with spinach, kale, ginger, turmeric, collagen powder, and apples. Additionally, Meg takes supplements to help maintain her wellness.
“I definitely take vitamin C and I take magnesium,” said Meg. “Magnesium helps with my muscle aches and vitamin C like helps with the bone cartilage, because I’m on stage and like squatting for 60 to 90 minutes, and I need these knees and they be asking, what’s the secret to the making knees?”
Elsewhere in the video, Meg revealed the music on her workout playlist, which includes music by Young Dolph, Key Glock, and of course, her own song, “Freak Nasty.”

When you reach a certain level of fame, it’s essentially inevitable that people will start to speculate about whether you’ve had some sort of cosmetic surgery done. Megan Thee Stallion is at this point, as she has apparently been accused of getting a nose job.
Did Megan Thee Stallion Get A Nose Job?
As XXL notes, In an Instagram Story video shared on April 8, Megan said, “They be like, ‘Oh my gosh, she got her nose done.’ No, y’all h*es wish I got my nose done. Y’all h*es need to comprehend how much the recovery surgery take. Y’all need to comprehend the recovery time surgery take. I’ve been on your [expletive] since 2017. At what point in life I had time to lay down and let you h*es breathe? Keep up, h*e.”
So, the answer came right from the stallion’s mouth, as Meg says she did not get a nose job.
Megan Thee Stallion has already given herself the “Best Ass On Instagram” title but she isn’t done claiming superlatives. In a post on Twitter (not X), Thee Stallion teased her family’s upcoming appearance on Family Feud with another grand declaration, saying, “This might be in the top 5 of best family feud episodes. I CANT WAIT FOR YALL TO SEE THIS.”
Megan isn’t the first rapper to bring her family on the long-running game show. In 2022, rap pioneers Salt-N-Pepa teamed up with Kid-N-Play to take on the cast of The Proud Family. Meanwhile, in 2020, Atlanta rap royalty 2 Chainz and Big Boi of Outkast faced off, yielding a number of hilarious clips.
Family Feud isn’t the only family-related competition Megan has found herself in this month, either. She put that “Best Ass On Instagram” title on the line with an open twerking challenge, inviting her fellow rappers and hot girls to shake what their mamas gave them (heh) to see who’s got the best booty video set to her and GloRilla’s new song “Wanna Be.” Latto with a video of her own, writing, “U called for BIG MAMA ???” as she threw her short shorts in the ring.
Family Feud hasn’t announced when the episode in question will air, but you can bet it’ll probably be one of the most-watched yet.
