This year in rap, there have already been several monumental lyrical run-ins. First, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj exchanged jabs on wax. Then Metro Boomin, Future, and Kendrick Lamar aimed at Drake and J. Cole. After a heated conversation online, GloRilla and JT could be next.

Following the release of GloRilla’s mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, a rumor started by media personality Armon Wiggins resurfaced. Wiggins claimed GloRilla had gotten into an altercation with JT. On “Aite,” GloRilla attempted to shut the gossip down, but it backfired.

Continue below for both women’s accounts of what happened.

Did GloRilla Slap JT?

In October 2023, Wiggins took to his YouTube channel, alleging that GloRilla had an unfriendly encounter with JT backstage at the VMA Awards. The now-private video by the Tea-GIF co-host sparked an uproar amongst the rappers’ fans. GloRilla’s line “Slapping rap b*tches and making bail hoe” on “Yeah Glo!” only furthered the flames.

According to JT, the incident never happened. JT disputed the claim on X during an exchange with Female Rap Room.

“I been said she didn’t,” she wrote. “[GloRilla is] the one who went radio silent! [She] played into it and released a song about slapping rap b*tches. Now, it’s female unity? CORNY!”

In a now-deleted post, GloRilla refuted JT’s response. Although she agreed that she did not slap JT, she claimed they were involved in a scuffle. “What you want me to say,” she said. “I didn’t slap you? But I hit you with a purse instead. Scary ass ho.”

Based on this online exchange, GloRilla didn’t slap JT. However, the public opinion court is still unsure what to believe.

GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” Lives Up To The Hype & Then Some

Go Meg Go Meg Go Meg.” “Get ’em Glo Get ’em Glo Get ’em Glo.” That is going to be in our heads all day and the day after that. Those are the lyrics from GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s first-ever collaboration “Wanna Be.” The track was teased earlier this week and a day or two before the Memphis rapper announced her new mixtape.

Ehhthang Ehhthang is the second project overall from her, and her first LP. GloRilla secretly began the rollout for this offering back in February with the viral hit “Yeah Glo!” It has since taken the internet by storm and it led her to some incredible opportunities like meeting LeBron James. Additionally, Big Glo is going to be heading out on tour this summer with her “Wanna Be” sidekick, Megan Thee Stallion.

Listen To “Wanna Be” By GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion

The snippet we heard sounded like it had incredible potential to be a party banger for the ages. Part of the reason for that were those chants were mentioned at the beginning, but also the sample. This track pays its respects to Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” and it does the original justice. Both rappers deliver cutthroat performances about moving away from toxic men and their flows float over the updated instrumental. You can check out the accompanying rowdy music video above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Wanna Be,” by GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion? Is this the best track on Ehhthang Ehhthang, why or why not?

You look like a discount me on Etsy (Ayy)
I’m the female titan, I’m steppin’ on b****es
I’m showin’ my t***ies, I tore up the city

Megan Thee Stallion And GloRilla Take It Back To School In Their Turnt-Up ‘Wanna Be’ Video

GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” video find the two rappers crashing a raucous frat party where they show off their dance moves and prove that they are two of a kind. While Glo asserts her dominance over men, Meg lashes out at fake friends and again flaunts her anime geek bonafides with a reference to the ultraviolent Attack On Titan.

“Wanna Be” appears on GloRilla’s new mixtape, EhhThang EhhThang, which also features appearances from Boston Richey, Finesse 2x, Kevo Muney, and Moneybagg Yo. The Memphis rapper’s latest arrives on wave of posivite press generated by her down-to-earth interviews and relatable, unpolished charm. Glo was also recently tapped to accompany Megan on her upcoming Hot Girl Summer Tour, strengthening the two rappers’ chemistry and their reputations as girls’ girls.

Meanwhile, Megan is on the comeback trail after severing her previous record deal with 1501 Certified. She’s hard at work on her first independent album and out to prove that she can really rap, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t finding time to have a little fun, as well.

GloRilla Calls For Cardi B And Nicki Minaj To End Their Beef And Unite For The Good Of Music On ‘Aite’

Here’s an exercise: Hop on social media and look for a post about Cardi B or Nicki Minaj. Go to the comments of the post, and the odds are that you will see a comment disparaging one or both of the two rappers. Cardi and Minaj’s beef, and that between their fans, is one of the strongest in music, but GloRilla wishes it wasn’t so.

On “Aite,” from her new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla envisions a world where the two would put their differences aside and make a banger together. On the song’s second verse, Glo raps, “I just pray one day the bad b*tches would come together / ‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f*ckin’ records.” Later in the verse, she raps, “They treat this sh*t like competition, I see it as art / Sh*t’ll be platinum in the hood but it won’t see the charts” (“they” referring to people in general, not Cardi and Nicki specifically).

Speaking of big-time collaborations, Ehhthang Ehhthang sees GloRilla work with Megan Thee Stallion on “Wanna Be.”

GloRilla Announced Her Second Mixtape, ‘EhhThang EhhThang,’ Is Just A Few Weeks From Release

What a week for GloRilla. The Memphis rapper was already flying high on the viral success of her latest single “Yeah, Glo!” but she was also recently added to Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour. What better time to announce a new full-length project?

That’s exactly what she did, telling fans on social media she’s dropping her second mixtape, EhhThang EhhThang, to capitalize on the wave of goodwill pushing her forward.

The tape will be Glo’s first solo project since her 2022 EP, Anyways, Life’s Great and first full-length solo since 2019’s Most Likely Up Next.

EhhThang EhhThang is due on April 5 and is the latest in a string of releases from women rappers that has been debunking Joe Budden’s doomsaying over the “girl rap wave.” Just this past Friday, Flo Milli and Tierra Whack both released new albums, while artists like Latto, Ice Spice, Sexyy Red, and Cardi B have been dropping new singles that have fans on social media buzzing. His argument may have revolved more around the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but with GloRilla climbing said chart and an opportunity for several women to impact next week’s albums chart, it doesn’t seem like women’s dominance over hip-hop is going away anytime soon.
