GloRilla Breaks Silence On Deadly Concert Stampede

March 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A deadly stampede broke out this weekend during a GloRilla concert with Finesse2Tymes in upstate New York, leaving one person dead and two others in critical condition. The “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” rapper and the Bread Gang signee performed at Main Street Armory in Rochester, NY this weekend when reported shots were fired. According to Democrat And Chronicles, the venue panicked, leading to a stampede of people trying to find their way out. Police said that 9 people in total were injured in the 5,000-capacity venue.

Police said they responded to the event at 11:05 p.m. following the reports of gunshots inside the venue. After searching the venue and discovering numerous people with injuries, they doubted whether shots were fired. They said none of the injuries had any consistencies with gunshot wounds. “At this time, there is no evidence to support a shooting having occurred inside the event,” Lt. Nicholas Adams said. “The injuries appear to be as a result of a large crowd pushing towards the exits following accounts of individuals hearing what they believed to be gunshots.”

GloRilla Issues Statement

After police reported to the scene, three people were taken to the Strong Memorial Hospital by ambulance. One 33-year-old woman died while the other two remain in critical condition. The other six individuals were transported to the local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. “All I know, it was a lot of running. A lot of people got hurt. I see people on the ground, like hurt badly,” an attendee said. “It was deathly packed. So I knew I had to get up out of there.”

GloRilla took to Twitter afterward to send her condolences and revealed that she wasn’t aware of the incident until the show was over. “I’m just now hearing about what happened wtf,” she wrote. “praying everybody is ok.” At this point, Finesse2Tymes hasn’t issued a statement regarding the incident. However, the stampede comes over a year after the Astroworld Festival tragedy in November 2021. that left 10 concertgoers dead and hundreds of others injured. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates regarding the stampede at Rochester’s Main Street Armory.

GloRilla’s Bodyguard Claims He Was Fired Unfairly After A Water-Throwing Incident Last Month

March 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After a tense incident at an Oakland nightclub last month, in which GloRilla had water thrown on her, the rapper’s now-former bodyguard is speaking out, claiming he was unjustly fired.

“So all that extra sh*t, I don’t want to hear none of that sh*t. I got her out of there safe,” the bodyguard said in the video. “She making videos ain’t she? She talking to y’all can’t she? ‘Cause she talked to me. You alive we got out that muthaf*cker. I did my job, it’s complete.”

On the second slide, there is a clip of the altercation. “F*ck you bitch, weak ass b*tch,” the club attendee shouted at GloRilla in the video. Although the footage is blurry, GloRilla’s team seems to be trying to move her out of the venue.

“I’m not finna get to fighting nobody dats paying to come see me that’s security job to make sure mfs under control that’s they get paid to do,” GloRilla tweeted afterwards.

I know what kinda crowd I bring out & I know my fans crazy af dats just part of being a ghetto rockstar Ik what I signed up for I’m not finna get to fighting nobody dats paying to come see me that’s security job to make sure mfs under control that’s they get paid to do

From the comments, at least on this post featuring the bodyguard, most social media users appear to be on his side, noting that if he had fought back, the other party could press charges in a lawsuit. “Security is not allowed to hit anyone because if that person sues him y’all not gonna help!” one person commented.

GloRilla Fan Catches Wig At Show And Installs It

March 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For those who have yet to attend a GloRilla show, be warned: the Memphis rapper is not for the mess. CMG’s newest member has gone viral in recent months for her off-stage encounters with fans. While on tour to promote her debut EP, Anyway, Life’s Great, showgoers have even thrown clothes at Glo to get her attention. While that clearly isn’t the best route, it’s sure to spark a response from the rapper, who isn’t afraid to let her feelings be known.

“Dey tried to take my wig while I was performing,” GloRilla says of her Philly show on February 26. In footage obtained by No Jumper, the “F.N.F” powerhouse proceeds to jump into the crowd mid-performance, where a battle ensues for her hair. As fans clamor for the star’s attention, a few try to go for her black and green lacefront. In an effort to keep the peace, however, GloRilla simply takes it off and throws it their way. In the video, a woman donning red locks goes on to argue with another over the expensive headpiece. The former, who goes by @_laladabratt on TikTok, ended up taking the win—and the wig—home.

TikToker Dons Wig Originally Worn By GloRilla

In her now-viral video, the GloRilla fan says it was the “best night ever” as she recalls the chance moment. Lala went on to say she “finna cherish this wig till death do us part” before doing the unthinkable. In the following post, the concert attendee raps to Glo’s “Internet Trolls” as she installs the wig on her own head. The fan has now either deactivated her Instagram page or simply changed the name, but as we know, the internet is quick. One user screenshotted her thoughts on GloRilla, who she said “is everything in person” while gushing about the hair. “God is great… I love her so much,” Lala added.

GloRilla’s Oakland show saw outrageous fanfare as well. One attendee became angered at the thought of her not taking the stage after Glo stated she was only paid to host. Reports say they threw a water bottle at the star as she exited New Karibbean City with her team, who responded by throwing a drink back. CMG label head Yo Gotti jumped in via Instagram, stating it costs $30,000 for a GloRilla performance. “[You] must [have] booked Lil Glo, NOT Big Glo #CMG,” he writes.

Fredo Bang Flirts With GloRilla On Instagram Live

February 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

With GloRilla fresh out of her major breakout year, it’s not surprising for her to receive love offers from her male counterparts. Surely they’re fans like the rest of us after getting to know the animated rapper through her socials. In October 2022, Kodak Black jumped on Glo’s Live in an effort to get her attention, using her own lyrics to flirt with the rising star. Now, Fredo Bang has entered the chat, and he has no shame as he clamors for GloRilla’s love, too.

The Shade Room caught wind of the “One Up” rhymer’s comments during her latest live. Bang made multiple plays at the CMG signee, starting with a comment about her lips. As it went seemingly unnoticed, Fredo continued on with a few vows to prove he’s committed. “I’ll be crazy about you…I’ll never hold you [back],” he alleges. He even goes on to serenade the “Better Thangs” feature with a line from 21 Savage’s “Spin About U,” verse. Still, GloRilla seemed to pay no mind as he asked “What’s yo [finsta f**k] yo main page i wanna know the real you.”

”It’s like the industry men [are] in a race to see who can get to her first [eye-rolling emoji,” one user noted. Others questioned his validity seeing he’s made advances to others in the past, including Reginae Carter. In a reminder to GloRilla, another fan wrote “Girl remember why you made that track FNF in the first place.” Glo has yet to respond to Fredo, but if he’s anything like the men she speaks about from her past, he may want to pack it up. The “On Wat U On” rapper has rules now, which include receiving money from her suitor prospects.

During On The Come Up interview, GloRilla explains how she “felt free for once” after ditching toxic men. “I wasn’t messed up by no dude, I wasn’t worried bout ‘em. I felt single and free,” she adds, which led to the creation of her inaugural single. In tweets from November, GloRilla reveals her and a friend took part in 60-day cleanse prior to recording the song. The women went two months without indulging in vices “because we said we couldn’t go into 2022 the same way we did last year.” This also included working out five days a week and upping their water intake.

GloRilla Driver Busted With Gun As She Performs With Cardi B In NYC

February 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla is riding high without an actual album out. She undoubtedly became one of the biggest new artists in hip-hop within the past six months. The success of “F.N.F (Let’s Go)” earned her a Grammy nomination and the opportunity to perform at the award ceremony as part of Hip Hop 50 segment. Despite her brief time in the rap game, she’s evidently found her place in the history books if she’s joining the likes of LL Cool J, Melle Mel, Ice-T, and other pioneers to represent the culture on music’s biggest stage in America.

Most recently, GloRilla’s embarked on the Anyways, Life’s Great across America where she’s hit dozens of venues of adoring fans. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been entirely smooth. Glo and her team faced a few issues along the way. There was the issue with a promoter who thought he paid for a performance but only got a walkthrough of the Memphis rapper. This incident led to a back-and-forth on social media that her CMG boss, Yo Gotti, chimed in on. Then, GloRilla called out a fan who threw a jacket in her face during her performance.

GloRilla’s Driver Arrested For Gun Possession

According to TMZ, the NYPD busted her driver during her performance at Irving Plaza for gun possession. A man, who police identified as Cameron Blackmon, reportedly set off a metal detector inside the venue. However, NYPD later saw him in a Suburban with two semi-automatic pistols. Police arrested Blockmon during this time on criminal possession of a firearm, ammo, and a switchblade, in addition to a ticket for parking the vehicle in a neutral zone in front of the venue.

It may have been a little chaotic outside of the venue but GloRilla fans surely had an excellent evening. The “Blessed” rapper had New York City’s finest in the building for her tour stop. Buzzing up-and-comer, Lola Brooke, took shots with GloRilla before emerging on stage to perform “Don’t Play With It.” However, the big surprise came towards the end of the night when she brought out Cardi B to perform “Tomorrow 2.” We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding Blockmon’s arrest.
