GloRilla Reveals How She Used A Mean Tweet As Motivation

by

It goes without saying that being a celebrity comes with its fair share of downsides. For every supportive fan there is, there are likely more critics waiting for an opportunity to tear you down. Luckily, criticism isn’t always a negative thing, as some artists use it as motivation. This includes GloRilla, who recently took to Twitter/X to explain how a shady Tweet fueled her amazing past few months.

“Glorilla fell off so fast and bad,” the critical Tweet reads alongside a series of crying emojis. It was originally written in October of last year but received a response from Glo earlier this week. “I remember bookmarking dis & telling myself ‘Dey gotchu f*cked up so bad,’” she wrote. “Dis post ain’t do sh*t but put a battery in my back i needed data don’t let dese people write yo story for you , Keep going !!!”

Obviously, GloRilla’s hard work has paid off, and she managed to prove this critic wrong. Nowadays, she’s enjoying the success of singles like “TGIF” and her debut mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang. She also joined fellow Southern femcee Megan Thee Stallion on her “Hot Girl Summer” tour this year, which was a major hit with fans. The two of them might even be teaming up for yet another project in the near future, as Meg hinted at a potential joint album during her recent interview with Billboard. “I think that would be very fire. I ain’t gon’ say too much, but it feels like it’s going to get done,” she explained.

“Megan is a real rapper, and I’m also a real rapper,” GloRilla added. “We actually be talking and coming with bars on some down South gangsta sh*t. [It would be] some down South, real turnt, real rap [sh*t].” What do you think of GloRilla crediting a critic’s old mean Tweet for her impressive 2024 run?

Megan Thee Stallion has flaunted her curves, and positive mentality, in a new ad for Nike. “Hotties, when you use Thee Hottie State of Mind, it doesn’t matter what they see for you because you see it for yourself. So, keep that same energy and attitude no matter what life throws your way. At the end of the day, do what feels best for YOU,” Megan wrote on Instagram to promote the collab.

Furthermore, Megan has been finding her niche with her power of positive thinking. A previous video about the Hotties State of Mind had some fans online calling her the Bottitheesiva, a play on a figure in Buddhist mythology. Are you feeling motivated by the Hotties State of Mind? Let us know in the comments below.

Megan Thee Stallion’s 2024 Olympics Pitch Includes Winged Horses And Some Creative Rebranding

However, Nike is not the only brand that Megan is repping. Last year. NBC tapped Megan to help promote their coverage of the 2024 Olympics. The skit opened with Megan flexing her style alongside some gilded equestrians before introducing her “hot girl” – a talking, winged horse that also breathes fire. Furthermore, Megan also dubbed the Games “Thee Paris Olympics”. However, the entire vision is revealed to be an elaborate pitch that Megan is giving to a confused board of directors at NBC. This leads into Megan also using her signature vocal fry to dub the Games the “Ahlympics”.

“As America gathers together today on Thanksgiving, we wanted to surprise the nation with an Olympic moment as big as the holiday, and what better way to do that than with ‘Thee Olympics,’ featuring Megan Thee Stallion and dressage horses at Versailles. As we approach the new year, even more surprises are in store as we continue to bring to life the biggest media event of 2024 — the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Jenny Storms, NBC Universal’s CMO Of Sports And Entertainment, told Rolling Stone about the promo spot.

Mustard Shows Off Dramatic Weight Loss Journey

by

Mustard expressed pride and happiness over his weight loss journey in recent Instagram Stories posted to his account. Moreover, he first posted a picture of him from a couple of years ago, presumably when he was just starting to make a name for himself as a star producer. “I look at s**t like this everyday and get motivated!” he wrote on the Story post. Then, he uploaded a video of one of his workout sessions, where he’s clearly putting in some hard work. “Lowest weight I’ve ever been as an adult,” the DJ wrote. Of course, many expressed support and congratulations for him online as he reflected on his journey.

Furthermore, the Los Angeles native has been on this path for a few years now, and clearly to great success. Even though his recent divorce has taken up a lot of time and negative mental energy in his life, it seems like he manifests a positive mindset through this dedication. As many noted on social media, “health is wealth.” With that in mind, it must motivate him to put just as much work into other projects and endeavors.

Mustard Feels Proud Of His Weight Loss Journey

However, sometimes, he will just let something slide and focus on more important matters ahead. For example, Hit-Boy recently mentioned him on the track “Slipping Into Darkness,” along with other producers like Metro Boomin, Southside, and most scathingly Hitmaka. On the track, he wondered whether Mustard can “chop soul,” using the 32-year-old as an example of his own versatility when compared to those beatsmiths. While the King’s Disease producer only meant to diss Hitmaka and expressed that he has love for Mustard, the latter seemingly didn’t even respond to the alleged diss in the first place.

Given how much that track made a splash in the hip-hop world this year, it’s impressive to see the West Coast producer shake it off. Of course, that’s because there are clearly more pressing things on his mind. After helping out Roddy Ricch on Feed Tha Streets III, hopefully he drops some more hits sooner rather than later. On that note, for the latest news and updates on Mustard, check back in with HNHH.

Dave East Details What Motivates Him

by

Dave East reflected on his growth as an artist during a recent interview with HipHopDX. He explained to the outlet that his focus is no longer on building the popularity of his brand but instead gaining respect from his peers. The New York rapper will be turning 35 years old later this year.

“I feel like the shit that used to excite me doesn’t anymore, and the things that were my early drive isn’t my drive anymore,” East revealed to the outlet. “My first drive was to get out the projects, and now it’s like what’s pushing me now?” He added: “What’s pushing me is the respect of my peers where they’ll see me and shout out what I’m doing or seeing fans from all backgrounds with a Dave East lyric tatted on them that tells me with the time I been in this shit, I did me enough to the point that someone bought into it and wants to see where else I take this shit.”

East added that he’s also working to sustain the success that he’s been able to find through this point in his career. Additionally, he wants to expand outside of advancing only himself. “Now I’m really trying to boss up a little more. I did me as Dave East, and I’m putting my hands in different things, shit I’m not even familiar with but always wanted to tap into,” he explained. “I’m trying to stay out the way and expand because now there’s others coming after me that’s family and little bros that have a vision, and I have a platform to help them with that.”

While best known for his work in music, East has been working on an acting career for years by this point. He appeared in BET’s Being Mary Jane and VH1’s The Breaks as well as Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga. In that series, he portrays the rapper, Method Man.
