Glorilla Claps Back After Being Dragged Over $550/Week Personal Assistant Job

by

Glorilla found herself trending this week after posting job details for a personal assistant gig. Many took offense after reviewing the description and seeing that the weekly pay only totaled $550. 

Clapping back following the backlash, the Memphis rapper justified the posting, saying that the assistant’s constant flights would all be paid for.

“Talking about $550 too low. Really, it needs to be $500,” she joked in the video clip. Glorilla then added, “First of all, your flights get paid for…You think I’m finna pay $500 for you a flight every day plus pay you? No, that don’t work like that.”

Responsibilities listed in the original posting include scheduling meetings, running errands, and grocery shopping for the “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” rapper. But according to her, “half of the sh*t on that list you don’t gotta do for real. It’s just, if it comes down to it, you might have to do it.”

Glorilla also called being her personal assistant the “easiest sh*t in the world.”

Still though, many were still dragging the rapper over the listed pay.

Claiming $550 per week isn’t a “living wage,” one person tweeted in response to the job posting, “Now Glorilla looking for a personal assistant and she’s paying $550 a week. Ppl talking about ‘it’s not always about the money, it’s a stepping stone.’ Yeah a stepping stone to poverty.”

They then added, “That’s not a living wage for all of the things you’re expecting ma’am.”

Another user joked, “Glorilla, if you hire me for $550/wk just know Imma steal.”

“Glorilla paying $550 a week to be her assistant?? Lmao they making more than that at McDonald’s” one user tweeted.

Life Is Great But GloRilla Has ‘No More Love’ To Give In Her Vulnerable New Video

by

GloRilla taps into her vulnerable side for her latest music video, ” No More Love,” off her EP, Anyways, Life Is Great…

Throughout the three-minute video, the Memphis rapper reflects on some of her life, past relationships, and the pitfalls of love.

“Sometimes I just sit back and just wonder, ‘What’s my purpose here?’ (I don’t know) / I need an answer ASAP ’cause I’m gettin’ a little nervous here (Woo),” she raps. “If they can’t see your worth, you gotta let ’em know they worthless here.”

GloRilla can be seen walking through what is presumably the streets of her old neighborhood, where friends and foes surround her.

“We was solid as a rock, but ’bout that paper, had to cut some h*es / It was f*ck the world with them, but now I’m just like, ‘F*ck them hoes’ (F*ck ’em),” she continued. “Catch one of them b*tches now, no doubt I’ll probably up that ho (Baow, baow).”

The “Tomorrow 2” rapper has been everywhere lately. From her debut performance at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards and releasing her recent album to being nominated by the Grammys for Best Rap Performance and preparing for her upcoming 2023 tour. It doesn’t seem like the Big Glo train is slowing down anytime soon.

GloRilla Believes Paying Her Assistant Just $550 Per Week Is Fair, She Declared In Response To Job Listing Criticism

GloRilla stirred up the internet when she posted a personal assistant job listing to her Facebook on Wednesday (December 14). The Grammy-nominated CMG signee probably expected loads of eager applicants, and surely there were plenty, but she also had to field criticism over the weekly $550 rate.

The role’s responsibilities include managing Glo’s calendar and scheduling meetings (personal and professional), handling travel logistics, running “various errands during the week and some weekends, attending GloRilla’s business and personal events, and attending weekly meetings.” GloRilla noted in the comments that she prefers “somebody with no kids” and thinks this is “literally da most easiest job in da world.” The on-fire Memphis rapper then posted two videos from her couch.

“Let me tell you motherf*ckers something, talkin’ about $550 too low. B*tch, it really needs to be $500! Nah, I’m just playin’,” GloRilla said. “But for real, first of all, your flights get paid for. Your flights and your travel. If you want a higher pay, then pay for your own flights and your own travel and see how much them $500-ass flight tickets be. B*tch, you think I’m finna pay $1,200 a week and pay — I take flights every day. You think I’m finna pay $500 for you a flight every day, plus pay? No. It don’t work like that.”

“Half the sh*t on that list, you don’t gotta do for real,” the “Tomorrow 2” hitmaker continued. “If it comes down to it, you might have to do it, but it’s literally the easiest sh*t in the world. You really don’t gotta do sh*t but be with me every day and go pick up my clothes for me, and all my outfits I gotta wear, you gotta have all my sh*t with you.”

The second video featured GloRilla continuing to outline what the job actually demands.

“You’re really my errand-runner,” she said. “If I need you to go to the store, go to the store. Pick up with I need. Because I can’t go in the store, b*tch, you know. Run all my errands for me, and I really don’t have much of them to run. I be hungry all the time. You really gotta know all my sizes and sh*t. […] What I eat, what I drink and sh*t, so you can have my little sh*t ready. … Remind me of sh*t I gotta do. It’s not that hard. Super simple. Literally.”

Comedian Lil Duval agreed with GloRilla, tweeting that people shouldn’t be expecting a “CEO salary for an entry level position.”

Whoever gets the job will likely accompany GloRilla on her first-ever headlining tour to start 2023. Announced in November, her 16-date Anyways, Life’s Great Tour in support of her major-label debut EP of the same name will kick off on January 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina and finish in her hometown Memphis on a to-be-determined date.

Gangsta Boo Is Back With Boo Lingo 101 Part 2 For Uproxx

by

Your favorite rappers aren’t speaking in code; you’re just not hip to their lingo. From onomatopoeias to regional idioms, an artist’s chosen lyrical content help tells the stories and paint pictures of music culture from around the globe. We can thank dirty South icons like Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, and Lil’ Flip for padding our rap vocabulary with clever words and phrases — think “crank that,” “trap house,” and “flossin’,” respectively. Today we’re back with more from The Queen of Memphis, Gangsta Boo, who sits down with Uproxx’s Cherise Johnson and deconstructs some dirty south slang.

Gangsta Boo is back in the public consciousness after a Verzuz fight between Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia — and more importantly, the southern rap icon teamed up with Latto and GloRilla for their new single “FTCU,” which samples Three 6 Mafia’s “Tear The Club Up.” Her UPROXX Sessions performance of ‘I’m Fresh,’ produced by Nick Hook, “is a bass-blasting, drum-heavy club anthem” in which she implores listeners to “smoke weed [and] eat p*ssy.”

In part 2 of Boo Lingo 101, she breaks down slang like “jackin’” and “bumpin’” and reminds us of how to use the acronym “FYTB” properly. You can watch pt. 2 of Gangsta Boo’s Boo Lingo 101 for Uproxx Music above.

GloRilla Does Some ‘Out Loud Thinking’ In Her Assertive ‘A COLORS Show’ Debut

by

GloRilla has had one hell of a year and even now, with the holidays right around the corner, she’s still racking up accomplishments. Her latest is an assertive debut on the popular YouTube channel A COLORS Show. Pulling up to a crimson set in a striking black-and-white athleisure combo (including a platinum wig) the Memphis rapper performs “Out Loud Thinking,” the introspective closing track from her major-label debut EP, Anyways, Life’s Great…

The performance caps a year in which she went from a buzzing underground rapper and part-time food service employee to a breakout sensation following the viral popularity of her hit anthem, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go).” After the track earned her a record deal with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group and a remix with Latto and City Girls, it seemed the hits just kept coming for Glo.

She soon found herself collaborating with Cardi B on the rambunctious “Tomorrow 2,” hyping up her hometown Grizzlies’ upcoming NBA season, winning Breakthrough Artist at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, getting a shout-out from rap hero Nas, and receiving a Grammy nomination. Most recently, she performed alongside Cardi at the American Music Awards, spit some bars for Funk Flex, and remixed a hometown classic alongside Latto and Memphis legend Gangsta Boo.

That’s not a bad rookie season at all — and 2023 is just weeks away, giving her a fresh start to build on all that momentum. Watch GloRilla’s COLORS performance above.

UYour favorite rappers aren’t speaking in code; you’re just not hip to their lingo. From onomatopoeias to alliterations, an artist’s chosen lyrical content help tells the stories and paint pictures of music culture from around the globe. The south has explicitly ushered hundreds of phrases into the mainstream through viral records from rappers like Future, Gunna, and even OGs like Paul Wall. Remember when “pushin’ p,” “no cap,” and “bando” all sounded like random phrases thrown into your favorite hits? Look no further than Uproxx’s Cherise Johnson’s sitdown with female rap pioneer Gangsta Boo, where they break down some dirty south slang.

There’s no doubt The Queen of Memphis is a southern rap icon. Gangsta Boo’s impact spans beyond her contributions while a member of Three 6 Mafia, and she’s inspiring this generation of female rap stars. Latto and GloRilla teamed up with the legend for their new single “FTCU,” which samples Three 6 Mafia’s “Tear The Club Up.” Today, she decodes phrases like “Yeah Hoe,” famously used in Three 6 Mafia’s “Mafia N****z,” the multifaced noun “mane” and the feeling-turned-genre “crunk.” Outside of Boo Lingo 101, catch Gangsta Boo and her southern charm for UPROXX Sessions.
