Aoki Lee Simmons Moving On From Modeling Over “Annoying” Comparisons To Her Mother

by

Aoki Lee Simmons, the daughter of Kimora Lee and the controversial Russell, is calling it quits on her modeling career. According to AllHipHop, the 22-year-old came to this realization that she doesn’t have the same destiny as her mom. The latter made a name for herself early on into her journey thanks to some appearances for the likes of Chanel, Fendi, and Valentino. However, it’s not like Aoki Lee has been struggling to find opportunities.

She’s been able to rack up some impressive accomplishments such as landing on the covers of Bazaar and Elle, for example. But all of her respective milestones are not enough to sway her to continue her modeling run. Aoki Lee revealed to her Instagram followers over the weekend that comparisons and being ruthlessly torn down were ultimately too much to bear. “I think I’m probably wrapping up modeling soon… It’s hard to go somewhere and get told over, over and over, ‘No, no, no, you’re not pretty enough,’ that’s not a fun time… it’s a hard industry,” she explained.

Later, she would add, “It feels like one big fat comparison all the time. Like, okay, not as good. I get that. My mom is always going to be a way better model than me. But it’s just annoying to have that comparison sometimes,” Aoki candidly stated. It’s saddening to hear her speak in this manner, but we also applaud her for wanting better for herself, especially mentally. After making this known, she says she is looking forward to exploring a totally different career. For those unaware, she has a degree in international relations from Harvard. At this time, she’s looking at something in the government field.

GloRilla Blasts Twitter Hater Saying She Fell Off, Says She’s Not Going Anywhere

by

Femcees are at the top of the hip-hop game right now, with GloRilla being one of the biggest stars of the new wave. Between high-profile co-signs and performances, huge hits following “F.N.F.,” and a sought-after social media presence, she’s starting her career off with fireworks. Still, short-term memory loss is a very real thing online, and many believe that the Memphis rapper already fell off after a couple of months being a bit more under the radar. However, she’s not letting any of these assumptions define her right now, and she has no reason to. Moreover, the “Tomorrow 2” hitmaker recently clapped back at a hater on Twitter who thinks she’s done for.

“Glorilla, we will remember your run from May 2022 through September 2022 but it’s over,” the cynical listener wrote on the social media platform. In her response, Big Glo was quite blunt and direct, as she tends to be when dealing with trolls online. “I’ll never go nowhere & I’ll bet every dollar to your name,” she responded to this particular tweet. The industry can be pretty fickle, but probably not enough to stop the CMG signee in her tracks.

What’s more is that this commenter didn’t even time the tweet properly, because you can’t chastise her for a lack of effort. After all, GloRilla just appeared on the CMG compilation Gangsta Art 2 a couple of times, namely alongside Fivio Foreign on the track “Cha Cha Cha.” In fact, she’s been celebrating the drop on Twitter, engaging with fans that are loving the material and building up hype around it. After dominating on her own for a bit there, it’s exciting to hear the 24-year-old step into other artists’ spaces and vice versa to further develop her skills and repertoire.

Meanwhile, she’s always going to be one massive song away from recapturing the excitement behind her breakout onto the scene. Charisma, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to what made the music special will take Big Glo very far. All that’s left to see is how long it takes for the haters to hush up. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on GloRilla.
