GloRilla Leaves Fans In Shock With Throwback Picture That Shows Off Her Big “Glo-Up”

by

We’ve seen a couple of Big Glo throwback pictures of her pre-fame days in the years since her rise, but they somehow don’t get any less surprising. Moreover, GloRilla recently stopped by her high school to donate $25,000 to build a media center in their library, and she recreated an old photo that she took in front a trophy case. She also shared the old snapshot in question, and everything from the outfit to the hair and even her pose shows how much her style and image have changed. It’s not like the Memphis femcee is completely unrecognizable, but the recreation really emphasizes her transformation.

In addition to looking back at the people that made GloRilla who she is, she’s also looking to the future of her career. For example, she and Sexyy Red recently entertained the idea of a collab album between the two during a XXL interview. “Ratchet as f**k,” Glo posited. “It gon’ be some super ratchet s**t. The n***as gon’ hate us. No, I mean the men gon’ hate us.” “I think they’d love it,” the St. Louis hitmaker added. “Because we both trench-certified, you know? Two young ladies.”

GloRilla Shows Off How Much She’s Changed

“You know how we talk our s**t, though,” GloRilla continued. “When I first came out with ‘FNF,’ they was like, ‘Who is this b***h talking about f**k n***as?’ But it’s just a whole lot of ratchet.” “Everybody was remixing that motherf***er,” Sexyy Red responded. Elsewhere during their conversation, they also talked about how many people criticize them and other female rappers for their proclivity for overly sexual lyrics. They called this perspective, particularly the male one, a hypocritical stance, but they also faced some pushback for conflating critiques of quality with critiques of sensuality.

Nevertheless, GloRilla is closing out the year on a high note, even indulging in some holiday fare via the new Kehlani-assisted single, “Xmas Time.” To see her return to her high school to give back and look back on how far she’s come is a treat to witness, and we’re sure that there will be many more reflections and thankful moments to celebrate in her career next year.

Sexyy Red Reminisces On Her High School Days With Slew Of Throwback Photos

by

Happy Back to School Day, as proclaimed by Sexyy Red. While not every student out there starts today, she took it upon herself to celebrate the new season by sharing a boatload of throwback pictures of herself in her high school days. This is far from the first time that the St. Louis femcee has done so, but we have a lot of new snaps to look at now. Even Metro Boomin and other celebrities pulled up to her comments section to laugh or reminisce themselves. It’s oddly jarring but nonetheless heartening to see this rise from hallway beginnings to superstar status and even an NSFW beauty brand.

Jokes aside, not all of Sexyy Red’s reflections are light, but she always rises above the hardship at the end of the day. “STORY TIME: The night get it sexyy was made I was goin thru a lot,” she captioned an Instagram post celebrating the Gold certification of her hit “Get It Sexyy.” “Just had my baby felt depressed and was goin thru postpartum. My team in Miami would leave me in the studio to write songs. I would just b in there crying thinkin about life. I finally said send me back to St. Louis so I can b around the ones I love and get back to me!

Meanwhile, there are still fans demanding answers as to one of Sexyy Red’s recent online antics. Is she really dating Chief Keef, is Kayla B actually Sosa’s partner, or both? Nevertheless, the “Bow Bow Bow” collaborators apparently have a joint album on the way. As such, romance or not, we can expect a lot more bombast from them in the near future.

Tory Lanez has revealed that he graduated from high school while behind bars for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. He spoke with Adin Ross over the phone for an interview over the weekend to update fans on how he’s doing in prison.

“I’m great,” he said. “I know that a lot of people sometimes when they hear prison or they hear somebody’s down, they think n****’s in the corner somewhere bawling his eyes out.” Instead, Lanez says he’s “in a great space mentally,” and is “bettering myself in every single way.” He explained: “A n***a just graduated high school, enrolled in college. Never thought I’d do that. But I’m taking this moment and I’m taking advantage over everything that’s good. I’m a f*cking high school dropout that just graduated high school. That sh*t matters to me. So, it’s the small things that just have me feeling good about life right now.”

Sexyy Red Hosts Improvised Show After She Couldn’t Enter High School Due To Weed Smell

by

Sexyy Red has to deal with a lot of preconceptions and biases as not just a female rapper, but as a rapper in general, even when she’s trying to do right by the kids. Moreover, on Wednesday (April 3), she took to her Instagram Story to express her grievances with a high school in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri that she was meant to visit, but was denied entry to because she smelled like marijuana. The “Get It Sexyy” MC was still on school property, though, and eventually greeted students from atop her vehicle. Not only that, but she treated them to an impromptu performance of the aforementioned track, and you can see them scream along to the lyrics in a clip below.

“Look, so this school, I came up here, got cute, tried to talk to the kids, give them the word of the day and they’re going to put me off tell me I smell like weed,” Sexyy Red expressed on the social media platform. “B***h, you’re nobody, they ain’t come to see you, Otis! B***h, you heard who they’re screaming for,” she remarked against those who denied her visit.

Sexyy Red Speaks On High School Turning Her Away Due To Smelling Like Weed

Despite this setback and this reaction, folks will apparently have many more reasons to be excited for Sexyy Red in the near future. For example, Nicki Minaj recently teased that she might invite her on for a remix of her Pink Friday 2 cut, “FTCU.” That would certainly give the Barbz another great moment to praise, and would further cement the 25-year-old as one of the most in-demand hitmakers today. However, these are all just ideas and teases at the moment, so we’ll have to wait and see whether they end up panning out.

Meanwhile, there’s a certain theory going around that has her feeling unbothered, but that its proponent is standing firmly behind. Joe Budden thinks that Drake is being paid to promote the Hood Hottest Princess so heavily, something that she dismissed quickly. Whether it’s The Boy shouting her out or high school students going wild, it’s clear that she’ll find her deserved stardom no matter who’s cosigning her.

Sexyy Red Admits Smelling Like Weed Got Her Turned Away From Local High School

by

Sexyy Red tried to give back to her fans earlier this week, but unfortunately, one major roadblock stood in her way. The “Pound Town” performer took to social media recently to reveal that she was turned away from a high school in her hometown of St. Louis. According to her, she was planning to speak to some lucky students but wasn’t allowed in because she smelled like weed.

Yesterday (April 3), Sexyy Red was active on her Instagram Story, sharing fun clips of herself outside of the school. Sadly, the fun ended there, as she later ranted about being denied entry. “So look so this school I came up here, got cute. Tried to talk to the kids give em the word of the day… And they gonna put me off tell me I smell like weed,” she says in a clip. “B*tch you’re nobody, they ain’t come to see you Otis! B*tch, you heard who they’re screaming for.”

Sexyy Red “Got Cute” For Nothing

Luckily, there were plenty of college-aged fans willing to give her a warm welcome. Shortly after being turned away from the high school, she cruised around the entrance of Harris Stowe State University. This isn’t the first time Sexyy Red’s antics proved to be too much for her teenage audience, however. Over the summer, a clip of the “SkeeYee” rapper entering a high school gymnasium, and being met by countless screaming students, sparked uproar. Social media users agreed that her music is far too raunchy for kids, and slammed the MC for the visit.

According to her, however, she was simply there to donate to the students’ prom and didn’t actually perform. What do you think of Sexyy Red getting turned away from a St. Louis high school because she smelled like weed? Do you think they should have let her in regardless? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Megan Thee Stallion Receives Glowing Praise From High School Peers, Yearbook Reveals She Was “Sophomore Class Favorite”

by

Megan Thee Stallion has been a fixture of the news cycle over the past few days. Overall, a lot of this has to do with the fact that she unleashed a diss track on Nicki Minaj. The song “Hiss” was not a direct diss, however, there were certainly bars thrown Nicki’s way. Subsequently, Nicki has been going on a plethora of Twitter rants against Meg. On Monday morning, she even dropped “Big Foot” which is meant to be the official response. Unfortunately for Nicki, it is not working too well.

This new song has been hit with a lot of criticism from fans. Some are even saying that Nicki is washed. Others have brought up the Safaree ghostwriting allegations. Needless to say, things are not going too well for the “Queen Of Rap.” In fact, many have taken to social media to defend Meg. Even her high school classmates are getting involved. Below, you can see how one person spoke about Meg’s reputation at her high school. She even shared a Yearbook photo that dubbed her “sophomore class favorite.”

Everything is coming full circle.’ I’m so blessed and happy to share my blessing.” Check out Latto’s latest appearance at her high school below.

Abby Lee Miller Walks Back Thirsty Comments About High Schoolers: Video

by

Abby Lee Miller is feeling the heat of the internet’s wrath right now, and she’s doing all that she can to clear her name. The Dance Moms star was tapped to be a guest of the Sofia with an F podcast this summer. The popular show has heard interviews with people like Amber Rose and Lil Yachty in the past. Many of them reveal deep, personal reflections about their romantic and/or sexual lives. Miller was also willing to get vulnerable with host Sofia Franklyn. Ultimately, though, her confession was deemed too inappropriate for their chat to continue.

In a clip that went viral this week, the Pennsylvania native says that her “downfall” is her love for high school football players. Specifically, Tom Cruise in 1983’s All the Right Moves was a huge fixation for Miller during her teenage years. As criticism and hate continue to come her way, the 57-year-old shared an Instagram video on Monday (September 11) attempting to walk back her thirsty comments on underage boys. “I do like those hot, athletic, muscular types of guys — the jocks. I always have, and I always will,” she declared.

What the reality starlet wanted to make clear is that she requires men who have hot bods and are “able to go out to a club, gamble in Vegas, [and] rent an ADA-compliant handicap-accessible van.” As Page Six notes, Miller now uses a wheelchair after battling cancer. It’s possible that she values strength in others, especially potential lovers, even more after losing some of her own.

Even after her attempt to clarify her initial comments on Franklyn’s podcast, the internet continues to condemn her. Abby Lee Miller has markedly been cancelled numerous times throughout her career. It’s unclear if this scandal will be enough to prevent her from finding work elsewhere in Hollywood. See the dance teacher’s awkward interview clip at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
