Yo Gotti & GloRilla Respond To Oakland Water-Throwing Performance Incident
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 âF.N.F.â 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 venueâs door, a video shows a drink soaking her jacket, immediately causing tensions to rise. âF*ck you bitch,â someone else yells toward the Memphis native. This consequently saw a drink thrown their way from the artistâs team.
Con B, a local promoter, has shared his side of the story. He claims that he paid GloRillaâs label, CMG, $30K to have her perform at the club. In his explanation video, @conbmusic made it known that heâs expecting a full refund. Prior to the event, he promised on his Instagram Story, âshe will be performing live⊠Not hosting, not a walkthrough. She will be performing live in Oakland, CA, TONIGHT!!â
In the hours since Con spoke his truth, Yo Gotti has come out refuting those claims with some of his own. â$30K to perform,â he wrote on Instagram alongside a row of crying-laughing emojis. â[You] must [have] booked Lil Glo, NOT Big Glo #CMG.â Additionally, the âFTCUâ hitmaker herself got some things off her chest over on Twitter.
âAinât no ho spit on shit!!!!!!â GloRilla wrote after the video began going viral. âAsk dat ho how ha face feel doe. No way you think Iâm performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.â According to TMZ, only a few rowdy patrons were upset that she didnât 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.

[WATCH] GloRilla Overjoyed as She Meets Beyoncé at the GRAMMYs
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 âI love you so much!â
In the caption, she wrote: âI met BeyoncĂ© bye !!!!!!! My life is COMPLETEâ
GloRilla is not slowing her momentum, dropping a new banger titled âInternet Trolls.â
The supporting âInternet Trollsâ 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 childâs toy and a mother who only takes care of her kids for the Gram.
âWatch out for them internet trolls/They be tryna satisfy them internet goals,â GloRilla spits throughout the single.
Last Week, GloRilla launched her âAnyways, Lifeâs Greatâ 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 âNut Quick.â
Following that, GloRilla performed âNut Quickâ from her debut EP âAnyways, Lifeâs GreatâŠ,â 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 âBest Rap Performance,â she embarks on a sold-out tour. The Memphis nativeâs rapid ascent earned her a nomination for âFavorite Female Hip-Hop Artistâ at the American Music Awards and the âBreakthrough Artistâ at the 2022 BET HipHop Awards.
With her song âTomorrow 2â 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 âFNF (Letâs Go)â 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
Itâs 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 Grammyâs 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 Grammyâs, 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. âWill 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.â
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 âit was a lot of mountains to move to make this happen,â noting that Will Smith was not the only celebrity who couldnât make it. Future and Lilâ Wayne also had toco cancel due to other commitments.
Itâs been almost a year since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars in March of 2022.

GloRilla Was So Elated By Her Conversation With Beyoncé At The Grammys That She Wants To Get It Tattooed
GloRilla may have walked away from last nightâs 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 âF.N.F. (Letâs Go)â rapper perform her record as part of the ceremonyâs 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, âI hugged BeyoncĂ©. Iâm never taking a bath again.â In another post, writing, âIâm finna get my 15-second conversation with BeyoncĂ© tatted. Ahh! Iâm still not over it.â
While GloRilla hasnât shared what the pair discussed, she did grab a selfie video during the ceremony with BeyoncĂ© declaring her love for the singer, âI love you so much,â GloRilla says with a full smile with the caption, âI met BeyoncĂ© â bye. My life is complete.â
Well, it seems GloRilla is living out the lyrics to her song âTomorrow 2â as she raps, âEvery day the sun wonât shine, but thatâs why I love tomorrow.â But, of course, GloRilla knows the awards will come later, so sheâs set on enjoying the present moment.
Amber Rose Lists Ice Spice & GloRilla As Dream Collabs, Blames Men For Female Artist Drama
Itâs been nearly 24 hours since the 65th annual Grammy Awards began yesterday (February 6). Somehow, the internet is still catching up on the eveningâs 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 ârunway,â 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. âIf somebody were to hop on the remix with you for âSurprise Me,â who would it be?â the mother of two was asked last night.
âOooh, oh my goodness. I would like Ice Spice,â she gushed to the outlet. âI like GloRilla too though,â she quickly added, shouting out the southern superstar. Nothing has been confirmed, but now that both up-and-coming stars know of Roseâs interest in them, we could hear something come together down the line.
The Philadelphia native also teased the possibility of an appearance on Jason Leeâs new podcast. âI have to mentally prepare first,â 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 â[she] donât wanna date nobodyâ right now. âDonât be in my DMs, donât bother me, Iâm good. Iâm 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.
âI think men decide that,â Amber told Hollywood Unlocked. âThe patriarchy! Men donât do that, like, maybe Biggie and Tupac. But other than that? Every man continues to flourish,â she went on. âI feel like, when it comes to women, itâs Cardi B and Nicki, or BeyoncĂ© and Rihanna. Just let everyone be great and support and love them for what they do.â
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 âGangsta Boo.â More recently, she joined Pink Pantheress for âBoyâs a liar Pt. 2,â the remix of the English singerâs 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
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 weâll 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 wasnât 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 âFTCUâ rhymer smiles ear to ear and waves at the camera as her new friend leans in.
âI love you so much,â she gushes over Bey, who also gives the camera a heartwarming grin and giggle. âI met BeyoncĂ©, bye!!!!!!â the rapper wrote in her caption. âMy life is COMPLETE.â 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 GloRillaâs dream collaborators.
In an exclusive interview with Grammy.com, the southern rapper said, âThereâs a lot of people I want to do songs with that Iâm a fan of, but my top two that Iâm extremely obsessed with [are] BeyoncĂ© and Chief Keef.â Additionally, Glo listed Drake and Lil Wayne as other potential musical link-ups.
BeyoncĂ© certainly stole the show â as expected â at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Still, sheâs 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 Raineyâs 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. Read more about Davisâ exciting achievement here, and check back later for more pop culture updates.
