GloRilla Teased Her Upcoming Debut Album, And Said She Wants Another Song That’ll Have ‘All The Girls Screaming’

by

Over the past year, Memphis rapper, GloRilla has made an incredible breakthrough. With two back-to-back hits — “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” — Glo has already shown herself to be a heavy hitter.

These songs would later appear on her debut EP, Anyways, Life’s Great…, which was released last November, and she would be announced as a Grammy nominee for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance the following month. Now, GloRilla is gearing up for her full-length debut album.

Glo talked about the upcoming album in an interview with Good Morning America, as part of a series commemorating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. She didn’t give away too many details, but she promised we can expect more fun, women-empowering songs.

“I’m excited about it,” said Glo. “I plan on going number one. I gotta make another song that’s gonna have all the girls screaming — and another anthem.”

Additionally, Glo has other milestones to look forward to. Yesterday, MTV announced that Glo is nominated for Best New Artist, and Best Hip-Hop alongside Cardi B for their “Tomorrow 2” collaboration.

Elsewhere in the Good Morning America interview, Glo called Cardi’s verse on “Tomorrow 2” her “favorite feature of all time.”

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Jung Kook Called Latto The ‘Perfect Fit’ For His New Single ‘Seven,’ Which He Performed On ‘GMA’

by

Jung Kook is a man of very few words. Instead, it seems, the “Dreamers” singer would rather pour it into his music. But during his recent appearance on Good Morning America, the BTS star spoke about his new single, “Seven,” featuring Latto. After inclement weather shut down his live performances as part of the network’s Summer Concert series, he entered the studio to chat with anchor Juju Chang.

When asked about working with Grammy-nominated rapper, the musician told Chang, “It was amazing. She was the perfect fit for the song,” adding, “[Overall,] I love how the song turned out.”

Fans aren’t the only ones that support “Seven,” according to Jung. The recording artist confessed that his fellow BTS members have heard the track giving it their stamp of approval. “They loved it,” Jung said.

“Seven” is a follow-up to his 2022 single “Dreamers” off the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 soundtrack and his appearance on Charlie Puth’s song “Left And Right.”

Before the interview concluded, the entertainer was sure to passionately thank his devoted fans for, in some cases, camping out in the New York City streets for the week for the chance to see him live in Central Park.

Watch Jung Kook’s performances of “Seven” and “Euphoria” below.

Denzel Washington Speaks About Meeting A Young Drake

by

Denzel Washington and Drake have an interesting history. It primarily revolves around a tattoo the rapper got of the actor in 2017. The tattoo was a Denzel deep cut, referencing the Spike Lee-directed Mo’ Better Blues. However, despite a bemused reaction from Denzel, nothing really came of the viral moment.

But what if there was another connection between the two celebrities? In this case, one that dated all the way back to Drake’s childhood in Toronto? A recent interview with Denzel appears to point to that being the case.

Denzel Recalls Meeting Drake As A Child

Appearing on Good Morning America, Denzel recalled a story from the early 90s with a surprise celebrity cameo. “I met a kid in Toronto, who came up and was fascinated with me because I was like this star and he wanted to talk to me and he couldn’t believe that he met me. Well, 10 or 15 years later, he came up and he said “you don’t remember when you met me” I said no. His name is Drake.” The meeting came at a Boys and Girls Club in Toronto. Denzel has been a spokesperson for the charity for over 30 years and was on GMA to celebrate the opening of the 5000th Boys and Girls Club. Prior to his appearance on GMA, he delivered a keynote speech at the newest location. The Boys and Girls Club seeks to provide safe community spaces and opportunities for young people.

But Denzel, who was speaking on never knowing whose life you might affect, had more to say about the rapper, “He said what I said to him and he never forgot.” Denzel didn’t share what he told Drake all those years ago but it’s clear that the meeting with and the advice that Denzel gave him as a child helped Drake become the man he is today. It’s a powerful and heartfelt story about the power that idols and role models can have. Denzel has seen the Boys and Girls Club add 3000 locations during his 30 years as spokesperson. The 5000th location was opened in Elgin, Illinois. With this new revelation, maybe Drake would be willing to share the advice Denzel gave him that inspired him so much.

Jeremy Renner Says He Wrote Down His Last Words

However, when Renner was run over by the 14,300lb snowcat, he had been out with his nephew Alex. “But I wasn’t alone. I was with my nephew, Sweet Alex, and then the rest of the calvary arrived”, Renner said. The preview then shows Renner revealing one of the most heart-breaking details of the incident, from his perspective.

According to Renner, he was released from hospital on January 17. While Renner has begun to open up about the incident that occurred on New Year’s Day, it is still a painful subject for him.

In recent years, there has been a lot of tension between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for various reasons, whether it’s related to their children or Pete Davidson or something else. Now, Ye is owning up to it in a new Good Morning America interview today (September 22).

The conversation is set to air this morning and in an advance teaser clip, West says of Kardashian, “This is the mother of my children and I apologize for any stress that I have caused.”

The tweet sharing the video also promises the interview will see Ye touch on “Kim Kardashian, fatherhood, social media, fashion, politics, and the Donda Academy.”

In another advance clip, West was asked if he feels social media is more “hurtful or beneficial” and he responded, “Oh, that’s one of my favorite questions this interview. I mean, we can use a car to rush somebody to the hospital, or we could use a car and accidentally hit somebody while we’re rushing somebody to the hospital, so it’s all in how we use it.”

The interview is set to air this morning on Good Morning America and later today on ABC News Live and Nightline. In the meantime,
