Yo Gotti & GloRilla Respond To Oakland Water-Throwing Performance Incident

by

GloRilla has had an undeniably quick rise to the top over the past few years. There have been plenty of big moments to celebrate in that time. Still, the 23-year-old has also endured her share of tough lessons. The most recent one took place earlier this week when an angry Oakland crowd seemingly threw water toward the rap diva after she failed to perform for them.

As per TMZ, the “F.N.F.” hitmaker was in the Bay Area on Wednesday (February 8), visiting New Karibbean City nightclub. As Glo and her team made their way toward the venue’s door, a video shows a drink soaking her jacket, immediately causing tensions to rise. “F*ck you bitch,” someone else yells toward the Memphis native. This consequently saw a drink thrown their way from the artist’s team.

Con B, a local promoter, has shared his side of the story. He claims that he paid GloRilla’s label, CMG, $30K to have her perform at the club. In his explanation video, @conbmusic made it known that he’s expecting a full refund. Prior to the event, he promised on his Instagram Story, “she will be performing live
 Not hosting, not a walkthrough. She will be performing live in Oakland, CA, TONIGHT!!”

In the hours since Con spoke his truth, Yo Gotti has come out refuting those claims with some of his own. “$30K to perform,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a row of crying-laughing emojis. “[You] must [have] booked Lil Glo, NOT Big Glo #CMG.” Additionally, the “FTCU” hitmaker herself got some things off her chest over on Twitter.

“Ain’t no ho spit on shit!!!!!!” GloRilla wrote after the video began going viral. “Ask dat ho how ha face feel doe. No way you think I’m performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.” According to TMZ, only a few rowdy patrons were upset that she didn’t take the stage, otherwise, the environment was fun.

The southern rapstress is currently on tour following the arrival of her debut EP last year. She took to the stage in San Francisco earlier on Wednesday night, which likely explains her reluctance to put on another performance.

GloRilla had a TIME at the Grammys. In addition to taking part in the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop celebration, Big Glo got to meet Beyoncé.

Glo hit Instagram and showed a video of hugging BeyoncĂ© and stating “I love you so much!”

In the caption, she wrote: “I met BeyoncĂ© bye !!!!!!! My life is COMPLETE”

GloRilla is not slowing her momentum, dropping a new banger titled “Internet Trolls.”

The supporting “Internet Trolls” video opens with GloRilla counting up dollars at a table before letting people see the diamonds on her neck and fingers. The video then highlights how trolls on the Internet show one thing but are different individuals altogether. Examples in the video are a gun-toting rapper using his child’s toy and a mother who only takes care of her kids for the Gram.

“Watch out for them internet trolls/They be tryna satisfy them internet goals,” GloRilla spits throughout the single.

Last Week, GloRilla launched her “Anyways, Life’s Great” tour by luring super-producer Polow Da Don onto the stage, tying his hands behind his back, taunting him with sexy inquiries, and pump-fake a lap dance before declaring that he seems like the sort to “Nut Quick.”

Following that, GloRilla performed “Nut Quick” from her debut EP “Anyways, Life’s Great
,” which is available for streaming below via CMG/Interscope Records.

Before GloRilla makes her first-ever performance at the Grammys, where she is nominated for “Best Rap Performance,” she embarks on a sold-out tour. The Memphis native’s rapid ascent earned her a nomination for “Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist” at the American Music Awards and the “Breakthrough Artist” at the 2022 BET HipHop Awards.

With her song “Tomorrow 2” featuring Cardi B, GloRilla recently scored her second No. 1 at U.S. Urban Radio in Dec. 2022. Previously, in Aug. 2022, when her breakthrough hit “FNF (Let’s Go)” climbed to No. 1 on the U.S. Urban Radio chart, she accomplished the feat of topping the charts.

Questlove Reveals that Will Smith Was Supposed to Make A Surprise Appearance At Grammys, but Had to Cancel Due to Bad Boys 4 Filming

Grammys 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop Tribute

It’s been a while since Will Smith has been on a stage at an awards show, but allegedly, he was scheduled to make a surprise appearance at the Grammy’s this past Sunday night. However, his comeback performance was derailed due to conflicts with filming Bad Boys 4.

In the weeks leading up to the Grammy’s, host Trevor Noah had hinted that there would be surprise guest appearances, but had kept quiet about specifics. However, Questlove, who produced a 10-minute 50th anniversary of hip-hop tribute performance for the ceremony, let one no-show surprise guest name slip on the red carpet.

Questlove told a Variety reporter that he was going to give the spoiler alert away. “Will Smith was a part of the festivities tonight, but they started shooting Bad Boys 4 this week. There were a lot of preliminary shots that he had to do, so we had to lose Will.”

The show did, however, go on without Smith. Missy Elliott, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, The Roots, Big Boi, Busta Rhymes, GloRilla, Rakim, Ice-T, Lil Baby, GloRilla, Lil Uzi Vert, and more showcased their talents in a commemorative tribute to the genre.

Before the performance, Dr. Dre was honored with the inaugural Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. He spoke about the impact that hip-hop had on him while saying that he was happy to be influencing the next generation of artists. The full performance can be seen below.

Questlove said that pulling off the show took a lot of hard work, telling the New York Times that “it was a lot of mountains to move to make this happen,” noting that Will Smith was not the only celebrity who couldn’t make it. Future and Lil’ Wayne also had toco cancel due to other commitments.

It’s been almost a year since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars in March of 2022.

GloRilla may have walked away from last night’s Grammy Awards empty-handed, but her spirit is full. Despite her not taking home a gramophone trophy for Best Rap Performance, the Memphis native still had a breakout night. Not only did the “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” rapper perform her record as part of the ceremony’s 50th-anniversary tribute to hip-hop music, but she was also able to meet the most awarded musician in Grammy history, BeyoncĂ©.

GloRilla managed to sneak in a brief chat with BeyoncĂ© near her table between performances and acknowledgments. Then, the rapper took to her personal Facebook page to relive the moment, writing, “I hugged BeyoncĂ©. I’m never taking a bath again.” In another post, writing, “I’m finna get my 15-second conversation with BeyoncĂ© tatted. Ahh! I’m still not over it.”

While GloRilla hasn’t shared what the pair discussed, she did grab a selfie video during the ceremony with BeyoncĂ© declaring her love for the singer, “I love you so much,” GloRilla says with a full smile with the caption, “I met BeyoncĂ© — bye. My life is complete.”

Well, it seems GloRilla is living out the lyrics to her song “Tomorrow 2” as she raps, “Every day the sun won’t shine, but that’s why I love tomorrow.” But, of course, GloRilla knows the awards will come later, so she’s set on enjoying the present moment.

Amber Rose Lists Ice Spice & GloRilla As Dream Collabs, Blames Men For Female Artist Drama

by

It’s been nearly 24 hours since the 65th annual Grammy Awards began yesterday (February 6). Somehow, the internet is still catching up on the evening’s biggest moments, from the hottest looks on the red carpet to the juiciest celebrity interviews. In terms of the latter, Amber Rose spilled plenty of tea while chatting with Hollywood Unlocked ahead of the show.

For her saunter down the “runway,” the model donned a stunning black dress, also covering her eyes with signature black oversized sunglasses. The bottom half of her gown was sheer, subtly exposing her leg, and she wore sparkly silver heels to finish the look. Elsewhere, Rose added cutout gloves and bulky chains around her neck.

As per usual, she looked fabulous and confident. While chatting with reporters she exuded the same energy, dishing about her dream collaborators and thoughts on female rap beef. “If somebody were to hop on the remix with you for ‘Surprise Me,’ who would it be?” the mother of two was asked last night.

“Oooh, oh my goodness. I would like Ice Spice,” she gushed to the outlet. “I like GloRilla too though,” she quickly added, shouting out the southern superstar. Nothing has been confirmed, but now that both up-and-coming stars know of Rose’s interest in them, we could hear something come together down the line.

The Philadelphia native also teased the possibility of an appearance on Jason Lee’s new podcast. “I have to mentally prepare first,” she joked about sitting down with the media personality. On the bright side, she did agree to be his Grammys date, which is a strong first step.

Later in their chat, Rose made it clear that “[she] don’t wanna date nobody” right now. “Don’t be in my DMs, don’t bother me, I’m good. I’m happy, she told viewers. Finally, the 39-year-old answered a question about female artists, such as Rihanna and BeyoncĂ©, so often being pitted against one another.

“I think men decide that,” Amber told Hollywood Unlocked. “The patriarchy! Men don’t do that, like, maybe Biggie and Tupac. But other than that? Every man continues to flourish,” she went on. “I feel like, when it comes to women, it’s Cardi B and Nicki, or BeyoncĂ© and Rihanna. Just let everyone be great and support and love them for what they do.”

As far as collaborations go, Ice Spice has been killing it lately. For her own Like..? EP, the Bronx-born rhymer worked with her good friend Lil Tjay on “Gangsta Boo.” More recently, she joined Pink Pantheress for “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2,” the remix of the English singer’s popular title from her Take Me Home EP.

In the accompanying music video, the two artists travel around New York City with their friends. See it for yourself here. Afterward, tell us who you hope Amber Rose makes music with next in the comments below.

GloRilla Meets Beyoncé, Her Dream Collaborator, At The Grammys

by

Awards season is officially upon us. This means the internet will see a slew of exciting celebrity crossovers in the coming months. Sunday (February 5) night celebrated one of the biggest evenings in music we’ll see this year, better known as the Grammys. Plenty of our favourites stepped out in their best dressed, including Cardi B, BeyoncĂ©, and Doja Cat.

Now that COVID-19 feels like a thing of the past, many of them found time to pose for photos and videos together. Thankfully for fans, many were subsequently shared on social media. One name that practically everyone in the building wanted to meet is obviously Queen B. The mother of three left with four new trophies under her arm last night, as well as the title of most-awarded Grammy artist of all time.

When she wasn’t on stage accepting her various prizes, BeyoncĂ© was kiking with other industry favourites. Among them is GloRilla, whose excitement was radiating in the adorable clip she uploaded to social media last night. In the three-second video, the “FTCU” rhymer smiles ear to ear and waves at the camera as her new friend leans in.

“I love you so much,” she gushes over Bey, who also gives the camera a heartwarming grin and giggle. “I met BeyoncĂ©, bye!!!!!!” the rapper wrote in her caption. “My life is COMPLETE.” Coming face-to-face with the vocalist would surely be an amazing experience for any fan. As it turns out, though, the Houston native is one of GloRilla’s dream collaborators.

In an exclusive interview with Grammy.com, the southern rapper said, “There’s a lot of people I want to do songs with that I’m a fan of, but my top two that I’m extremely obsessed with [are] BeyoncĂ© and Chief Keef.” Additionally, Glo listed Drake and Lil Wayne as other potential musical link-ups.

BeyoncĂ© certainly stole the show – as expected – at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Still, she’s not the only Black female celebrity to achieve an amazing feat thanks to her trophies. Apart from the countless singers and songwriters who were celebrated on Sunday night, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom actress Viola Davis also left the building with a new accolade.

Thanks to her work narrating her own audiobook, Finding Me, the 57-year-old is officially an EGOT. This puts her alongside the ranks of previous champions such as John Legend, Audrey Hepburn, and Jennifer Hudson.
